Trap is the debut solo EP of Chinese-Canadian artist and Super Junior-M member Henry. It was released on June 7, 2013, by S.M. Entertainment in South Korea. The tracks "Trap" and "1-4-3 (I Love You)" were chosen as the lead singles for the promotional cycle.
A video teaser for the title track of Henry Lau's debut EP, "Trap", was released on May 31, followed by a highlight medley video of the tracks included in his first mini-album.
The title track and EP's lead single was composed and arranged by a group of European music producers including Svante Halldin, Emilh Tigerlantz and Geraldo Sandell. The lyrics were penned by Misfit who has also contributed to many other songs of various SM Town artists. The piano instrumental was performed by Henry himself. The accompanying choreography was put together by Shaun Evaristo, who has previously worked on many other songs with other artists of SM Town, including BoA for "Not Over U", Super Junior for "From U" and Super Junior-M for "Go".
The EP's second promotional single was "1-4-3 (I Love You)". In the song, 1-4-3 represents the breakdown of how many letters it takes to write "I love you". Using this specific number sequence became popular in the 1990s with the advent of pagers. The song also mentions the number sequence of 4-8-6, which represents the breakdown of how many strokes it takes to write 사랑해 (saranghae, the Korean phrase for "I love you") in Hangul.
The album was officially released in South Korea on June 7, 2013, along with the music video of "Trap". An English version of "Trap" was released as a part of the digital single "1-4-3 (I Love You)" on August 23, 2013.
The Taiwan edition of Trap was released on July 5 in Taiwan. The album is the same as the Korean edition except a raffle ticket is included inside for Henry's Taiwanese promotions.
