They didn't expect to do a singing collaboration project, instead thinking of photoshoots and similar.{{cite web|title=[STARCAST] Everyone is curious about 'Toheart, right?'…Woo-hyunXKey, unit talk|url=http://m.star.naver.com/shinee/news/end?id=2494310|publisher=star.naver|accessdate=25 March 2014|author=Na Ji Yeon|author2=Kim Hye Won }} On April 7, 2014, the duo followed up their promotions with "Tell Me Why" featuring Infinite Sungyeol’s little brother, Lee Dae-yeol as well as actress Mun Ka-young.{{cite web|title=Infinite Sungyeol's Little Brother to Make Debut Appearance in ToHeart's MV|url=http://mwave.interest.me/enewsworld/en/article/62839/leedaeyeol-makes-debut-with-toheart|accessdate=25 April 2014|author=Grace Danbi Hong|work=Mwave via CJ E&M enewsWorld }} The song was requested most by fans and was produced by Sweetune.
