A digital music store is a business that sells digital audio files of music recordings over the Internet. Customers gain ownership of a license to use the files, in contrast to a music streaming service, where they listen to recordings without gaining ownership. Customers pay either for each recording or on a subscription basis. Online music stores generally also offer partial streaming previews of songs, with some songs even available for full length listening. They typically show a picture of the album art or of the performer or band for each song. Some online music stores also sell recorded speech files, such as podcasts, and video files of movies.

Nocturne is the third EP by South Korean boy band 2AM. It was released in November 27, 2013 with the song "Regret" as the title track. Prior to the official release of their third EP, 2AM pre-released 'Just Stay' from their third mini album 'Nocturne' on November 19, 2013. 'Just Stay' is a soft R&B that is calm and soothing. It is about a girl who is having troubles with her lover and a man who is in love with that girl. The song 'Only You' is reminiscent of nineties K-Pop and R&B, which makes this one of the standout tracks in regard to the evolution of 2AM. 'To An Angel' is also more uptempo than the songs that 2AM is known for and is a solid pop song. 'You’re Prettier The More I See You' is very jazzy. It's the last 2AM album to be released under Big Hit, before their transition back to JYP Entertainment.
