This marks their first new music in nearly three years, following the June 2023 10th-anniversary track Take Two, recorded ahead of enlistments. Their last major project was the anthology Proof, released in June 2022. Supporters are ecstatic over the announcement, with digital platforms already stirring in eagerness for the group's eagerly anticipated reunion.

"BEEN WAITING 3+ YEARS FOR THIS WE ARE SO BACK," an X user commented.

A world tour will roll out alongside the album next spring. This will also be the group’s first full concert series in about four years. Their previous tour, Permission to Dance on Stage, closed in 2022 and brought in nearly four million fans through live shows and online broadcasts.
