I Got a Boy is the fourth Korean studio album (sixth overall) by South Koreangirl group Girls' Generation. It was released on January 1, 2013, by S.M. Entertainment.
The album, which contains recordings dating back to 2008, is the first Korean album by the whole group after a fourteen-month hiatus, a sub-unit of members Girls' Generation-TTS in April 2012 and the release of their second Japanese album, Girls & Peace. Member Seohyun explained the album strays away from the group's usual releases with the album being described as a "time machine" which explores the group's past and future (Wikipedia).
