Under My Skin is a lead song of Sarah Connor's new album, the single was released on August 1, 2008. Whereas Mirotic is a lead song of DBSK's new album, the single has the same name of the album, was released on September 26, 2008. Both are new songs and becomes the lead single of the album, one from a very popular German female singer and the other from a Korean boyband whose fanbase is throughout the Asia, both become hits, Connor's new album is in top 3 in German while DBSK's new album is likely to be the 2008's best selling album in Korea, but the interesting fact is, both songs are exactly the same song!!
Connor's Under My Skin came out around beginning of August, whereas DBSK's Mirotic about one month later, which then later lead to some controversy, either Connor's fans or DBSK's thought the song was plagiarized by DBSK. Then DBSK's label stated that the band had finished recorded Mirotic around June, earlier than release of Under My Skin. Luckily their label quickly disclosed the that none of the them copying each other. The song's copyright is in fact, according to them, bought half by Connor for European release and other half by DBSK for Asian release.
Then, both are original songs, composed by Danish producers. For me personally, I like the song, and maybe first DBSK's song I like, however, I prefer Connor's version. Although it's the same song (of course different language), but there are some improvements done by both DBSK and Connor, causing the song to be more appealing to their voice and image.
DBSK is a typical boyband singing and dancing at the same time, hence chorus of Mirotic is more for dancing, whereas chorus of Under My Skin is like dance-pop. While Mirotic has a rap part, Under My Skin has a bridge.
I feel that both of them will get more credits as they can make the songs appealing to them, Mirotic then sounds like another typical Korean dance songs, and Under My Skin like typical Western female dance-pop songs, by still keep most part the same.
Don't know why I like listening both songs at the exactly same time. Start together Under My Skin from the beginning and Mirotic from 00:15, then you will see that both songs are firstly starting with the same melody, then the same male voice of 'wo!' (about half second only) and you will listen different languages but the same melodies, then it went different when going into the chorus, and in the end of (every) chorus they will at the same time harmoniously sing "I got you - under my skin".
Then always going together like that every chorus, then in the bridge they are different again, whereas Mirotic has rap rather than bridge, then in the end again that one line will be sung 'together' again. Love that part =D
In the end, Mirotic has one more chorus than Under My Skin, so Under My Skin ends a length of one chorus earlier.
