The background track in the teaser, enhanced with captivating beats, garnered significant acclaim. This raised expectations among fans that YG Entertainment is finally investing in improving BABYMONSTER’s image.

Despite the edited photos posted by YG Entertainment in 2016, PSY also shared them to promote BLACKPINK, as he was still part of the same company at that time.
Despite PSY’s post, the BABYMONSTESR logo remains visible on the bag.
This sparked theories among fans, as some questioned whether this was intentional or simply a result of the company reusing props.
Several comments were read:
- “The track sounds way better than their other songs.”
- “With this release, it truly feels like summer is here. Can’t wait for what YG brings next.”
- “BABYMONSTER should forge its own path, not copy others, and risk being seen as just an imitation.”
- “That beat is so catchy, it’s bound to restore faith in the stars.”
- “Sounds a bit like BLACKPINK’s ‘DDU-DU DDU-DU.’ YG still seems to be finding its groove.”
The pre-release track for the upcoming first studio album, “FOREVER,”will be released on June 30, 2024.
The girl group previously initiated their first fan meeting tour, commencing in May.
During the tour, the girl group traveled to five different regions in Asia, specifically Singapore, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, and Indonesia.
