Philippines, "Love is Move" promises to be an updated pop-rock dance-floor romp for Secret unlike [their] previous hits [such as] "Madonna" and "Magic".

The concept of the music video for "Love is Move" was inspired by 1930s cartoon character Betty Boop. TS Entertainment said in a press release, "The Betty Boop character is still an icon to many women because of her ability to speak her mind while still maintaining her feminine charisma. The idea behind Betty Boop seemed to match the haughty and confident image that Secret is trying to express for this concept."{{cite web|title= TS Entertainment discusses the concept behind SECRET's "Move"|url=http://www.allkpop.com/2011/10/ts-entertainment-discusses-the-concept-behind-secrets-move|publisher=AllKpop|accessdate=3 January 2012}}
