Background and release

After the success of Kiss of Life's previous single "Midas Touch" from the single album of the same name, on June 21, 2024, it was announced that the group would be making a summer comeback with the digital single "Sticky" on July 1 later that year. [1] On June 24, a teaser featuring a portion of the song was released. [2] Concept photos were released on the subsequent day. [3] On June 27, a teaser for the single's music video was released. [4] On July 1, the single was released on all the digital platforms alongside its music video. [5]

Music

“Sticky” features an Afrobeat rhythm and sound, while the B-side track "Te Quiero" is described as a Latin-style song. [5] This is in contrast to Kiss of Life's previous hip-hop and retro-inspired releases. [6] Member Julie described the concept of "Sticky" as "refreshing" and "about (the group) being brighter and happy", which is unlike the "strong and intense image based on hip-hop sounds" that they are known for. [6]
