Background
It was announced on April 5, 2013, that Girls' Generation would be releasing their first Japanese single of the year, "Love & Girls", on May 29, 2013. The single is to be released in two versions; a regular edition and a limited CD+DVD edition. The regular edition contains the title track "Love & Girls" as well as the B-Side, "Lingua Franca" (Japanese: リンガ・フランカ).
The DVD edition contains the full PV to the B-Side on their sixth Japanese single "Flower Power" — "Beep Beep". A shortended version of the "Beep Beep" PV was released on April 5 on Universal Music's YouTube channel.
The single was originally scheduled for a May 29, 2013, release, however due to last-minute alterations to the "Love & Girls" music video, the release was pushed back to June 19, 2013. The "Beep Beep" music video was also swapped out for the "Love & Girls" music video on the DVD edition of the single.
Music video
"LOVE & GIRLS" MV:
The music video for "Love & Girls" was filmed on April 17, 2013, with selected female members from Girls' Generation's Japanese fan site being able to participate. The video and single were originally scheduled for release on May 29, 2013, however the release was delayed due to their agency altering scenes of the video, stating, "The music video will be filled with new experimental things, which is the reason for the delay of the single."
The girls filmed the MV with a crowd in a carnival like atmosphere and dance along with bright smiles. The song is happy and fun with a cute and bright choreography to match. The Music Video was released in May 17, 2013 and shown on Space Shower TV.
