"No Other" (Korean: 너 같은 사람 또 없어; RR: neo gateun saram tto eobseo; lit. There's no other person like you) is a song recorded by South Korean boy band Super Junior that was released on June 25, 2010, by SM Entertainment as a single for the repackage edition of their fourth studio album, Bonamana.
Background
[edit]"No Other" was first announced on June 22, 2010, by SM Entertainment as the follow-up single to "Bonamana" and would be selected as the lead single of the repackage edition of the album with the same name as the former single, scheduled to be released on June 25.[2] The track was released digitally on music streaming services such as Melon and Cyworld on June 25 as a pre-release single.[3]
Composition

Kangin did not participate in the production for the album (save from "A Short Journey") due to the postponement of his future activities caused by a DUI hit-and-run from October 2009.[5] Han Geng departed the group after he filled a lawsuit against SM Entertainment and Kibum opted to focus on his acting career instead.[6]
The song was written by SM's resident songwriter, Kenzie, the melody was composed by New York-based composers such as Reefa, C-2, and Ryan S. Jhun, who were producers for hip-hop artists such as Fabolous and Ludacris. The lyrics narrates feelings for a lover in a straightforward way.[1]
