Mamacita (stylized as MAMACITA) is the seventh Korean studio album (eighth overall) of South Korean boy band Super Junior. It was released on September 1, 2014, by SM Entertainment and was released online on August 29, 2014. This is their first Korean album since Sexy, Free & Single was released in 2012. On October 16, 2014, it was announced that a special version of the album, named This is Love, would be released on October 27, 2014.[2]
The album features 10 members, marking the return of members Leeteuk and Heechul after their mandatory military service. It features the vocals of Yesung in some songs, who was in mandatory military service during the production of the album.[3]
Background
The group went on hiatus for two years and one month while waiting for their leader, Leeteuk who was serving in mandatory military service.[4] In 2013 and the beginning of 2014 the sub-units Super Junior-M and Donghae & Eunhyuk actively worked on their own albums and touring,[5] while the full group successfully completed their World Tour Super Show 5 and achieved some accolades and records overseas.[6]
With the discharge of Leeteuk coming sooner, the members of the group started to hint they were recording a new album and also some of them updated their SNS with pictures in the recording studio. A week before the discharge of Leeteuk, they also uploaded a picture of the full group rehearsing together, causing great excitement. One of the pictures revealed that the famous choreographer Tony Testa was working with them.[7]
It was announced in August 2014 that the group would be making their comeback later that month with a full album and new world tour Super Show 6. The title of the album was revealed, increasing the anticipation, with around forty teaser images released in the following days.[8] Finally the group released an image video teaser with a Western storyline, a music video teaser showcasing parts of the choreography and the chorus of the song and a Highlight Medley of the studio album.[9][10]
Production & composition
The album is full of new sounds, different beats, old school R&B and pop music. It was revealed that Teddy Riley, Jason J. Lopez and Yoo Young-jin worked on the title track, which is described as an "urban new jack swing track with an Indian percussion base and piano melody that is reminiscent of a DJ remix."[11]
The album has a total of 10 songs, and features composers Don Spike, Team One Sound and Hitchhiker. Band member Donghae contributed music and lyrics to the song 'Shirt,' and also 'Islands' which is about the group's friendship and loyalty.[12] Band member Siwon also wrote the lyrics to ‘Don't Leave Me’, which was found on the repackaged album.[1]

Super Junior held a press conference at the Imperial Palace Hotel in Gangnam, Seoul on August 28, 2014.[13] A few hours later, the official music video was released and it quickly reached one million views in less than 9 hours and two million views in less than 22 hours. It ended up being the most viewed k-pop music video of August 2014 despite being released at the end of the month.[14] On the Chinese site YinYueTai Super Junior became the second group on achieve a perfect 100.00 score for the music video (Super Junior-M's "Swing" music video, being the first one).[15]

Critical reception

Now that's an album". Allkpop also praised the album writing that composers "crafted a pretty masterful piece of work here."[25]
