On January 1, 2024, YG Entertainment founder Yang Hyun-suk announced through a video published on YouTube that BabyMonster will be releasing their second single titled "Stuck in the Middle" on February 1, 2024.

[3] A concept poster was released a day later, featuring the members of BabyMonster wearing a bright white dress in a fantasy-like landscape, which was described as "a stark contrast to the energetic and sporty image that they showed in their debut single "Batter Up"".

"Stuck in the Middle" was written by Jared Lee and Dan Whittemore, both of whom also composed the song alongside Dee.P. [3] In Yang's announcement video, he described the song as "not a hip-hop track" which makes him "wonder if YG has ever released a song like this" and listening to it "feels like being in a state of zero gravity in outer space", suggesting at a vast shift in tone and genre compared to the group's previous single "Batter Up". [1] The song was also described as "an emotional ballad that handles the confusing emotions of love through the members' soulful vocals". [6]
