Following the release of their 2024 EP GOLDEN HOUR : Part.2, ATEEZ return with the third instalment in the series. From the fresh sounds of opening number “Lemon Drop” to the distinct vocal colours from all eight members on “Masterpiece” to the comforting lyrics of “Now this house ain’t a home” and “Castle”, the album is a showcase of ATEEZ’s signature charisma, brightness and emotional depth. To mark the release, the members share their thoughts on each track with Apple Music. “Lemon Drop” SEONGHWA: “I think it might feel like the boys who sang ‘Wave’ six years ago have all grown up and returned to that same season. It’s ATEEZ’s first summer track in a while.” MINGI: “You’ll probably notice the refreshing sweetness of a lemon drop cocktail in this track, but I think you’ll also feel a summer that’s more than just blue. It’s ATEEZ exploring R&B and hip-hop in a fresh new way, so I hope you enjoy it with a cool breeze.” “Masterpiece” WOOYOUNG: “ATEEZ is the product of eight unique individuals coming together, and we’re on this incredible journey as one. That’s what this song represents. As you listen closely to our distinct vocal tones, you’ll notice how each distinct colour blends into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.” “Now this house ain’t a home” HONGJOONG: “This song reflects the emotional distance that exists between a house and a home. When you’re chasing your goals, there can be moments when your reality suddenly feels very strange. This song holds a message of encouragement to keep running until you find a place that truly feels like home.” YUNHO: “It’s a song that can offer comfort during those lonely times we all go through. Its charm lies in the hopeful yet bittersweet melody and vivid, relatable lyrics like ‘the TV we sat around on Sunday nights’.” “Castle” JONGHO: “This track offers a different kind of comfort from ‘Now this house ain’t a home’. It’s about finding a space where we feel safe—to take a breath and give ourselves time to heal.” YEOSANG: “Just as there are no absolutes in life, there’s no such thing as pain we’re destined to endure forever. Through this song, we wanted to tell our fans, and ourselves, that it’s okay to not always push through. The beautiful lyrics express that message, which makes the song very special to me.” “Bridge : The Edge of Reality” SAN: “If you listen to the album in order, I think you’ll be surprised by how dramatically the mood shifts at this point. As you focus on the atmosphere and structure of the song, you might discover something completely unexpected and fun.”
