Little Apple was originally released to promote the duos film Old Boys: The Way of the Dragon. From the very beginning a viral marketing strategy was used to promote the song, which immediately went viral on the Internet due to its repetitive rhythm, easy-to-remember lyrics, simple and funny dance and, most importantly, grass roots nature.
