Other tracks included were an intro ("4Minutes Left"), "Sweet Suga Honey!", "You Know", and "모르는 척" ("Pretend"; Moreuneun Cheog), all of which were later included on the full-length 4Minutes Left album.
The full-length album 4Minutes Left was released on April 5, 2011 in CD and digital formats. It included all songs from the "Heart to Heart" digital maxi-single as well as five new tracks"Mirror Mirror" peaked at number 2 on the weekly Gaon Digital Chart.
There was controversy surrounding the dance used as part of the song's television stage performances. During the second chorus, 4minute performed a "spread leg dance". Many viewers found the move provocative and too overtly sexual for television. 4minute was not alone in the controversy, as another group Rania also received the same complaints because of a similar dance move. The "spread leg dance" was later banned by KBS from their show Music Bank and by SBS for Inkigayo.
Due to this problem, 4minute changed their choreography twice.
