However, a new version of "Marry U" was released on the first repackaged version of the album on November 5, 2007. "Marry U" is a light [R&B](/source/R%26B) [ballad](/source/ballad) with soft [rapping](/source/rapping) and gentle [vocalization](/source/Vocal_music) and [harmonization](/source/Harmony). The theme of the song involves a sweet proposal and a confession of love, with repeating imagery of a bride and groom walking towards the moons and stars. The lyrics support long-lasting love and describes that although growing older, the love will never leave. The only difference between the first and second version of "Marry U" are the switching of solo positions. In the original version, [Han Geng](/source/Han_Geng), [Shindong](/source/Shindong), and [Kibum](/source/Kibum) do not have solos. However, [Han Geng](/source/Han_Geng) and [Shindong](/source/Shindong) gained solos in the second version.

Super Junior filmed the video wearing white tuxedos, surrounded by [green screen](/source/green_screen). The music video begins with Super Junior sleeping on top of a graphical city, with [Eunhyuk](/source/Eunhyuk) rapping, which is then followed by [Heechul](/source/Heechul)'s rap. As Heechul continues rapping, the video merges into the city, with a yellow taxi cab driving in the streets. A girl, played by [Girls' Generation](/source/Girls'_Generation)'s [Yoona](/source/Im_Yoona) exits the taxi and arrives in front of a circus, and enters it. As the girl watches the performances, the camera closes onto her face and her head breaks apart, revealing a girl sitting on her bed in her room. Super Junior appears between intervals every once in a while, singing and rapping to the song. As [Donghae](/source/Donghae_(entertainer)) raps, the camera shows the girl sleeping on her desk. The video then showed water droplets growing into trees of ice, emitting a bright glow. A piece of outstretched cloth hovers above the tree, and [hot air balloons](/source/hot_air_balloons), with [phones](/source/phones) attached to them, hang above the cloth, with the girl staring at it. The girl goes back into the taxi and arrived at the concert, watching Super Junior dance to the song in a fantasy-like surrounding. Throughout the video, the scenery used subtly displays a story of which someone is holding a concert for a former lover, confessing love and re-committing themselves to each other. Unlike previous promo singles from Super Junior, "Marry U" is a mid-tempo ballad, and the song does not require extremely difficult dance choreography like what the group's previous singles required. In the first half of the music video, Super Junior is mainly shown sitting on high platforms singing to the song, with shots of the girl and also scenery composed of CG artworks. At the end of the video where the girl sits down to enjoy the group dancing, the group dances in a fantasy-like surrounding, with slow and gentle choreography. The ending scene shows the girl smiling and nodding, a diamond ring glinting on her finger. ==Promotion and reception== "Marry U" became the main title of Super Junior's first mini concert, Super Junior Marry U Mini Concert. The mini concert had two shifts, one in the afternoon and one in the night. The concert was held in Seoul Shindolim Technomart on November 15, 2007. Taking the theme of a marriage proposal, each of the thirteen members prepared rings to give to certain lucky fans, presenting it to them like how they would propose to their girlfriends.Hnce.com.
