On May 23, 2023, it was announced that the song would be released as the group's third pre-debut digital single, and the first since their arrival on South Korea.[5] Before the single's release, concept art depicting the members in bright-colored sets were released to promote the single.[6][7] The single was released on May 31, 2023, with an accompanying music video, cycling through different vibrant sets.[8][9]

The song, along with the two other pre-debut singles released by the group, was later included in the group's debut album, Friend-Ship.[10]
