Background

Starting from November 6, 2009, six teaser videos, each featuring one of the band members, were released in the weeks leading up to the album's release on YouTube. The videos started with various close-up shots of the band members hooked up to medical equipment and speaking. [1] The videos then pan to a heartbeat monitor, play a short clip of the song, and displays the text "What is your Heartbeating for?" Taecyeon's video mentioned the inclusion of seven members in the band, [1] although the seventh member (Jaebeom) left the group prior to the release of "Heartbeat."

Music video

The song's music video was released on November 11, 2009, the day after the song's release. [2] It features dark, moody visuals. The color palette is mostly blacks, greys, and whites. It is the band's first music video to exclude Jaebeom, who left the band a few months before the video's release. [3]

Japanese version

A Japanese version of "Heartbeat" was included as a B-side track in 2PM's debut Japanese single "Take Off", released on May 18, 2011. [4] The track was also included in 2PM's debut Japanese studio album, Republic of 2PM, released on November 30, 2011. [5]

Charts

Despite the Gaon Digital Chart launching in 2010, two months after the release of "Heartbeat," "Heartbeat" charted at number 14 in its very first issue and remained on the chart for 11 cumulative weeks. [6] "Heartbeat" also topped the Melon Weekly Chart and charted at number 58 in the 2009 Melon Yearly Chart. [7]
