Background
After announcing that Super Junior returned with special album Devil on July 16 to celebrate the group's 10th anniversary, SM Entertainment released a comical trailer, heightening fans' anticipation for the comeback. The agency said, 'Friendship and trust among members along with gratitude toward fans' love are the foundation for the album.'{{cite news|title=Tablo Tweets His Love for Super Junior's 'Devil' Trailer|url=http://mwave.interest.me/enewsworld/en/article/95181/tablo-tweets-his-love-for-super-juniors-devil-trailer|access-date=July 17, 2015|newspaper=CJ E&M enewsWorld|date=July 8, 2015|archive-date=March 4, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304065216/http://mwave.interest.me/enewsworld/en/article/95181/tablo-tweets-his-love-for-super-juniors-devil-trailer|url-status=dead}}{{cite news|title=Super Junior: Intimacy among members key to longevity|url=http://kpopherald.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=201507161317057677482_2|access-date=July 17, 2015|newspaper=Kpop Herald|date=July 16, 2015}}
Production and composition
Producing team the Stereotypes worked with SM's resident composer Kenzie on title song "Devil" for a trendy melody, effectively marking the departure of the group from its usual title track production with another resident SM songwriter-producer Yoo Young-jin, the one who writes for the group's title tracks since debut.{{cite news|title=Super Junior's New Album 'Devil' Tops iTunes Charts In 10 Countries|url=http://www.bntnews.co.uk/app/news.php?nid=23857|access-date=July 17, 2015|newspaper= BNTNews |date=July 17, 2015}} The lyrics liken a man madly in love to the disposition of the devil. The performance for "Devil" was created by choreographer Tony Testa and SM's performance director BeatBurger. The Super Junior members also offered their own insights, leading to the creation of a fun, well-woven choreography with simple motions that showcase the group's laidback charms.{{cite news|title=Super Junior to Perform 'Devil' for First Time at Concert|url=http://mwave.interest.me/enewsworld/en/article/95206/super-junior-to-perform-devil-for-first-time-at-concert|access-date=July 17, 2015|newspaper=CJ E&M enewsWorld|date=July 9, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150710154023/http://mwave.interest.me/enewsworld/en/article/95206/super-junior-to-perform-devil-for-first-time-at-concert|archive-date=July 10, 2015|url-status=dead}}
The album has a total of 10 tracks including the title song "Devil".
