Background and album

The album was first announced at the 2014 Beautiful Show concert in August, [4] making this the group's second release within 12 months, following their previous album Good Luck released four months earlier. [5]

The album consists of six tracks with lead track titled "12:30" being a ballad track, that describes the different emotions experienced when a couple breaks up. [6] [7] "Yong said he used solid rhythm, piano sounds and as dubstep, creating a song with a lot of beats and rhythm", further adding that he chose it as the lead track because "it's the hour that makes me sentimental". Member Yang Yo-seob added that the track is accompanied with a "dynamic choreography, which will show that people can move and dance to ballads". [8]

Member Lee Gi-kwang also contributed to the album, composing "So Hot" with Yong Jun-hyung and Noday; and writing the lyrics with Noday.
