Hands Up (album)

Hands Up is the second studio album by South Korean boy band, 2PM. The album was released in digital format on June 20, 2011 and the physical format on June 21, 2011 also the special limited edition on June 23, 2011. The Japanese edition of the album include a 24-page photobook.
Their title track “Hands Up” is 2PM’s first “club track,” according to JYP Entertainment. The strong electronic beat and powerful base, combined with the repeating melody will give you an addicting sound. It embodies 2PM’s “animal-idol” personality and their beastly image, and the surprising narration by Wonder Girls’ Sohee adds a different taste to the overall tone.
In particular, this album comes with self-composed tracks by Junho and Junsu. Junho’s “Give It to Me” is a rhythmical yet soft track, while Junsu’s “Hot” is a more direct and powerful song.
