Love Tune is the second extended play by South Korean girl group Fifty Fifty and first release since their re-organization as a five member group. It was released by Attrakt on September 20, 2024 and contains six tracks, including the lead single "SOS" and the pre-release single "Starry Night".
In 2023, after the international success of their single "Cupid", the members of Fifty Fifty filed a lawsuit against Attrakt, claiming that the company had failed to provide financial data and had neglected their mental health. [1] In October, one of the members, Keena, dropped her lawsuit and the contracts of the remaining three members (Aran, Sio, and Saena) were terminated by Attrakt. [2] [3] In August 2024, Attrakt revealed the new members of the group, Chanelle Moon, Yewon, Hanna, and Athena, announcing that the group would release their second extended play in September. [4] [5]
On August 30, the pre-release single "Starry Night" was released by Attrakt along with its music video. [6] Attrakt revealed on September 2 that Fifty Fifty's second extended play Love Tune would be released on September 20, [7] and a promotional schedule was released the following day. [8] The first set of concept photos were released on September 6 and 7. [9] This was followed by the track listing on September 9, [10] then the second round of concept photos and a visual clip between September 10 and 12. [11] The highlight medley was released on September 13, [12] and two music video teasers for "SOS" were released on September 16 and 19. [13] The album was released alongside the music video for "SOS" on September 20.
The opening track "Push Your Love" is a bright bubblegum pop track that follows in the style of "Cupid". [14] This is followed by "Starry Night" and its English version, which is an airy and floaty tune that sounds like a JYP girl group song. [15] [14] "SOS" and its English version have a laid-back Latin pop vibe with a go-go rhythm and 1970s-style acoustic guitar with lyrics that "paint a cry for help on another sleepless night". [14] [16] The closing track "Gravity" is an "epic EDM rock number" with explosive power and high notes from the members. [14]
