Background and release

In an interview with Star News in November 2014, JYP Entertainment founder Park Jin-young revealed that the group would start working on their next album once member Suzy was finished shooting her upcoming film The Sound of a Flower in December.

On 18 March 2015, it was revealed that the album would be released on 30 March, with their first live performance to be held on the same day at K-Art Hall in Olympic Park, Seoul.
As to why it took more than a year for the group's return, member Min explained that the process of finding good songs for their album was longer than they thought with member Jia adding that Park Jin-young gave them one of his songs but it was not included as it didn't have the "right feel".
