About this song
Sherlock (Clue + Note) is a mashup of two album tracks, Clue and Note, spliced together, and it is often considered K-pop's first hybrid remix. It was produced by a team of about 30 people in SM Entertainment's A&R department, who took apart over 100 songs and recombined their parts. The song was released on March 19, 2012 as the lead single of Shinee's fourth EP, Sherlock, and it reached number one on the Gaon Digital Chart. It received generally positive reviews, and Rolling Stone twice named it among the greatest boy band songs of all time.
