The album and music video for the title track "Justice" were released on July 10, 2024.
The title track "Justice" is a return to the group's signature rock sound and is described as an alternative rock track with a "180-degree change in concept" when compared to the septet's previous release "OOTD". [9] [10] The main concept of the track and music video is a hero fighting against evil, which is in contrast with the themes of temptation and narcissism prevalent in "OOTD". [11]
