"Winter Games" is the eighth Japanese single (officially counted as seventh) by the South Korean boy band 2PM. It was released on October 16, 2013, in three different editions. The single also includes "Stay Here" as B-side track, which was originally intended to be included as a B-side track for the single "Masquerade". The limited Type B version comes with a bonus track, the Japanese version of "Comeback When You Hear This Song" from their third Korean studio album Grown. The single received Gold certification status from Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for selling over 100,000 copies in October 2013 and was the group's first song to top the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart.[1][2] The song was first performed at 2PM's first official fan meeting in Japan titled YaZoo on September 7–8, 2013, a month before its official release.[3]
