Background and release

In April 2016, the group announced that they would release The Clan series, revealing the first concept as Part 1: LOST. [1] On May 9, the track "Ex Girl" featuring Mamamoo's Wheein was pre-released. [2] [3] On May 18, the title track "All In" was released, alongside the EP. [4] [5]

The group held their comeback showcase on May 18 at Yes24 Live Hall in Seoul and was streamed live on Naver's V App. [4] [6]

The music video for the title track was released on the Starship's and 1theK's official YouTube channels on the same day, directed by the award-winning film director Dee Shin. [7] [8]

The EP was released in two versions; Found and Lost.

Composition

The EP depicts the loss and pain of youth, containing young people who live with pain in their hearts and having tragic ending through loss. [9]

The track "Ex Girl" is a mellow pop R&B track, describing a man's regret about the one who got away. [3] The title track "All In" is a hip hop track that highlights the group's signature powerful sound and move; it also features a thumping beat and furious raps. [4] [5]

Critical reception

Writing for Dazed , Taylor Glasby described the music video of "All In" as ambitious and provocative, "but the video almost backseats the song to a soundtrack", which Glasby also describes as "far better than the MV gives it the chance to be, particularly the crooning chorus". [10]
