Song Description:
The song starts with an alluring chant and violin solo. Then, when the girls start to sing, the violin starts to slow down, but the beat continue at the same tempo. After the chorus, another violin solo starts to play, and it continues like the first one. The second chorus used a different beat than the first one, slower and sweeter. Then, the final chorus starts with the most amazing beat, serves it purpose as a climax before slowing down near ending

An alluring song that used a full orchestra to record. This song takes the longest time to compose and record as the girls' are very keen on producing the perfect music. With a fairy tale atmosphere through the song, 'Cruel Fairy Tale' is about how some fairy tales are too good to be true and it creates a false expectation to love. The most serious song in the album.

Mimi: Tanya was already a big fan of you, but with this single I'm now officially a fan too! Wow, girls, it's astonishing! I'd love to see the video. :)

The video was shoot at a mansion in Italy. The video focused on the girls singing in pain and misery, portraying a variety of emotion and expression. The video also showcased the girls well-hidden natural beauty, alluring people who watched it. The video is mainly like a rendition of 'Alice In Wonderland', with a twist. The girls wore two different garment for the video, a white wedding dress(different from each other) which reported to cost more than 100,000 USD each, a black gothic dress each, which shows the girls' high fashion taste, and a white mini dress, who show the girls chic and hidden beauty.

Overview

The video shows a room in a mansion, where Hyo Lim is seen looking at the mirror. It's was dark, and only the room's light keep the room bright. Then, she opened a music box, and it started to play an sweet tune, leading to the opening of the song. Then, a violin sound starts to play, hinting the starts of the song. The video shifts to Ha Na, who is at the other room, who sang her part. Then, the video turned to Ga In, who sang her part also. Is showed Hyo Lim when her part came. During the chorus, viewer can see all the girls together, wearing the black dress, singing at an imaginary garden. The video focused more on Mi Yeon and Eun Young during the chorus. Then, the hook came, and the video shift back to Eun Yound and Mi Yeon, respectively. They are seen in a room, wearing the white dress. When Ji Eun part came, she is shown singing her part. Then, the second chorus came, and the video focused on the girls especially Eun Young, wearing a white mini-dress who sang her part in front of an orchestra in the sun room in her mansion. The instruments move following the music, but there are no one playing it. And at the bridge, all the girls are shown in the garden, and at the last chorus, all the girls are seen at the sun room.
