==Release== ==="Heart to Heart" maxi-single=== A digital maxi-single was released with the title track "Heart to Heart" on March 29, 2011.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2011-04-01 |script-title=ko:포미닛, 첫 정규앨범 발매...더블 타이틀곡 활동 |url=https://www.edaily.co.kr/news/read?newsId=01331686596211856&mediaCodeNo=258 |access-date=2023-03-25 |website=Edaily |language=ko}}</ref> 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 music video for "Heart to Heart" was released on March 28, 2011, and features CN Blue's member Lee Jung-shin.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2011-03-28 |script-title=ko:포미닛, 뮤비 예고편 공개..'현아·정신 커플 변신' |url=https://www.edaily.co.kr/news/read?newsId=01354646596187912&mediaCodeNo=258 |access-date=2023-03-25 |website=Edaily |language=ko}}</ref> The video starts with member Hyuna and her boyfriend (Jung-shin) sitting on a couch and talking; she notices how much he has changed, but he stands up and walks off. Soon afterwards, she and the other 4Minute members are at a club when she notices her boyfriend is talking with another woman. She and 4Minute then plan all sorts of mischief for revenge including spraying his sandwich, replacing his toothpaste and shaving cream with other creams, delivering inappropriate items to his workplace, making his car not start, dropping a large fake spider while he is sitting on the couch, and getting him arrested using edited photos. At the end of the video, she is talking with him again.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2011-03-29 |script-title=ko:포미닛, 상큼+발랄 '하트 투 하트' 뮤비 공개 (동영상) |url=http://mydaily.co.kr/new_yk/html/read.php?newsid=201103290751121116 |access-date=2023-03-25 |website=MyDaily}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2011-04-01 |script-title=ko:포미닛 전지윤, '하트 투 하트' 뮤비서 귀여운 악동 '변신' |url=https://www.asiae.co.kr/article/2011040111304255771 |access-date=2023-03-25 |website=The Asia Business Daily |language=ko}}</ref>

A music video for the promotional single "Mirror Mirror" was released the same day. The video starts with a mirror breaking. The girls in the first part of the song, sings in a black and white background with geometrical shapes. By the second chorus the girls then are seen in a street with lights and an orange sky serving as backgrounds. By the final part of the song, they are seen in both of the previous concepts. Throughout the song the girls are also seen in a room with mirror serving as walls, however the girls are also seen alone in the rooms.

"Mirror Mirror" peaked at number 2 on the weekly Gaon Digital Chart<ref name="CIRCLE CHART - 써클차트"/> and landed at number 29 for the year-end chart.<ref name="CIRCLE CHART - 써클차트"/> 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 from their show ''Inkigayo''.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.hellokpop.com/2011/04/12/kbs-bans-the-spread-leg-dance-from-music-bank/ | title = KBS BANS THE SPREAD LEG DANCE FROM MUSIC BANK | date = April 12, 2011 | work = hello k pop }}</ref>{{Unreliable source?|reason=See reliable sources list on WP:KO/RS|date=June 2025}} Due to this problem, 4minute changed their choreography twice.
