"Into the New World" (Korean: 다시 만난 세계; RR: Dasi mannan segye) is the debut single by South Korean girl group Girls' Generation. Originally written in 2002, it was composed by Kenzie while the lyrics were penned by Kim Jeong-bae. It was first released to digital outlets by SM Entertainment on August 2, 2007, while a CD single was made available several days later. The release includes the B-side tracks "Beginning" and "Perfect for You". "Into the New World" was later included on the group's self-titled debut album, which was released on November 1, 2007.
"Into the New World" peaked at number five on the monthly South Korean album chart in August 2007, and eventually sold over 44,000 copies. Although it only saw moderate success upon its initial release, the song has since been recognized by music critics as a symbolic piece embodying unity and an anthem associated with protest culture in South Korea.[1] Melon and Rolling Stone named it amongst the best K-pop songs of all time.
After its release, Girls' Generation performed "Into the New World" on various domestic music programs. It won Rookie of the Month for August at the Cyworld Digital Music Awards and won a first place trophy on M Countdown on October 11, 2007. Girls' Generation included the song in the set lists for all of their concert tours in Asia; during their Phantasia Tour (2015–2016), the group performed a ballad rendition of "Into the New World".
