After preparing for the release of "Dancing Queen" in 2008 and having the single scrapped, Girls' Generation revealed that they were heartbroken.
"Dancing Queen", which was released as a preview single for the album "I Got a Boy" on December 21st, was originally supposed to be released in 2008 as the lead single off their first mini album, but due to Duffy's success with the song "Mercy", was cancelled instead.
"When we first heard the song and video was being cancelled, it was a difficult time for us. We shed many tears," the girls stated.
Instead of releasing "Dancing Queen", the group came out with "Gee" instead, becoming a sensation overnight as listeners fell in love with the cute song of love.
"It was a difficult time, but with the success of 'Gee', it made all other hardships worthwhile," they said.
"I Got a Boy" was released today, exciting fans with the group's new look and attitude.

oh .. I felt sad for them
Seems like they really liked the song and dance of "Dancing Queen"...:)
gee was a goood choice and they cried aww
They would never have gotten as famous as they are with Dancing Queen. Gee was obviously the better choice. I honestly don't like Dancing Queen.
If they released Dancing Queen first, I dont think I would have given them a chance past it. Gee is just too cute.
im glad they came out with Gee instead... i dont really like Dancing Queen
itd better that they made it big with Gee first^^
oh no~ ..................
i love gee
gee gee gee la la lal da
I love Dancing Queen but I'm more than glad that they released Gee ^-^ it's my most favourite Kpop song ever

I'd cry too if I had to make another music video. I've seen videos of groups making videos, and they take FOREVER!
Aww they cried. They're so cute. It's understandable they were upset. It's also really great how things worked out in the end.
Well, who wouldn't be disappointed? They worked so hard for Dancing Queen only to have it scrapped.
Good thing Gee was phenomenal! So it was probably for the best. :3
gee is a nice song, i love it
SNSD is tha best XD
Gee>DQ No problem here.
I prefer Gee than Dancing Queen as well so it was a good thing.
Actually, I prefer Gee over Dancing Queen so...:p
It's a good thing that they released 'Gee' instead
that's too bad..
