"너라고 (It's You)" is a digital single by Korean boy band Super Junior. It is the second promotional single for the group's third studio album Sorry, Sorry and was digitally released on May 11, 2009. Three new tracks were added to the single on May 14, 2009, the same day as the physical release of the repackaged version of Sorry, Sorry.

"It's You" is written and produced by E-Tribe, the same composer who wrote several chart-topping songs including Girls' Generation song Gee. The collaboration was first announced on April 21, in which the group described the song to be "a mellow but trendy dance song" and very unlike the lively songs that E-Tribe has previously written for female singers. The song incorprates heavy electronic influences to a MIDI sequence, and it is expected to earn the same success as the urban funk song "Sorry, Sorry."

The Corrs with their Celtic folk rock music genre

The Corrs

This band is one of my favorite. They play Celtic folk rock music. The group was from Dundalk, Ireland consists of the Corr siblings: Andrea (lead vocals, tin whistle); Sharon (violin, vocals); Caroline (drums, percussion, bodhrán, vocals); and Jim (guitar, keyboards, vocals). 

They came to international prominence with their performance at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia and their support of Celine Dion on her 1996 Falling into You Tour. Since then, they have released five studio albums and numerous singles, which have reached platinum in many countries. Their album Talk on Corners that was one of my favorite said to be their most successful album that reached multi-platinum status in Australia and the UK.

They have been actively involved in philanthropic activities. They have performed in numerous charity concerts such as the Prince's Trust in 2004 and Live 8 alongside Bono in 2005. And on the same year, they were awarded honorary MBEs for their contributions to music and charity. The group are on hiatus because Sharon, Jim, and Caroline are raising families, while Andrea is pursuing a solo career.

The Corrs with the Chernobyl child

Their music genre, was a "blend of modern rhythms and technology with acoustic instruments, violin, tin whistle, drums, and of course the voices, the marrying of these instruments is our sound," Caroline Corr said. Their music is typically categorized as folk rock as their first two albums, Forgiven Not Forgotten and Talk on Corners evident hear it.

The Corrs' main influences were their parents who were musicians and encouraged them to learn instruments. As like other musicians do they drew inspiration from other musicians too such as The Eagles, The Police, The Carpenters, Simon and Garfunkel and Fleetwood Mac. which Sharon said in an interview with CNN is the reason "our songs are very, very melodic and [harmonious]".

Their success in music is can be seen to all people in the world that influences by their music.
