In the photo, Erin seems to be unclothed underneath the giant ticket that covers her up, stamped with the words "Ticket", the name of the group "Nine Muses" and a date "20120308", which could be a possibility to be the concept and day of release, on March 8.[3] On March 5, it was confirmed the new release is their debut mini-album by revealing the physical EP cover.[4] On the same day, it was revealed the track list of the EP, which features two already released digital singles "Figaro", released in August 11, 2011,[5] and "News", released in January 11, 2012,[6] two new songs "Ticket", "Who R U" and their instrumentals.[7] On March 6, more photos of the concept were revealed.[8]
