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.

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.
