Super Junior M’s last album was “Break Down,” released in January last year. It topped numerous Asian charts, with the band also being named Best Group at the 2013 Baidu Feidian Award.

The album also made it to Billboard’s World Albums Chart, peaking at No. 49 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums Chart.

Super Junior M released the teaser music video for “Swing” on YouTube and Chinese sites Youku and Weibo on March 18.

Last Febuary, Super Junior M, along with Block B, BTOB, BAP, A-Jax and A-Prince, visited the Philippines and performed at the “Dream K-pop Fantasy Concert 2″ held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Super Junior M was formed in 2008 to cater to Chinese fans. The group debuted with the album “Me” in 2008.
