The trailer, structured like a storybook, portrays Chaeryeong as someone indifferent to nearly everything around her. A narrator says she stayed the same “in front of a birthday cake, when her phone caught fire, when she won the lottery, when the upstairs neighbors were noisy and even when the floor was covered in foam.” Then, unexpectedly, she falls in love with an unidentified “it.”
The four-track album includes the title track along with “Moonlit Club,” “Scent” and “Favorite Reason.” Chaeryeong co-wrote the lyrics for “Favorite Reason,” the fourth track.
Before the release, JYP plans to roll out concept photos, music video stills, a music video teaser and an album preview. The album comes out at 6 p.m. on release day. An hour before the release, Chaeryeong will host a countdown livestream.
ITZY’s fans are known as MIDZY. The agency said they have long waited for her solo work, and it expects the album to fill autumn playlists.
