Ailee also mentioned her collaborations withf(x)'sAmberandCNBLUE'sJonghyunfor her new album, saying, "It was so fun because they are my friends. Jonghyun called me out of the blue and said he has a song that he really wanted me to feature on. So I gave it a listen, liked it, and we wrote the lyrics together, which resulted in an awesome song."


She added, "Amber had finished the work [for our collaboration] a long time ago. Even after we recorded, my heart was fluttering and I just felt good inside. I think it's a blessing that you can do music with your friends. I felt the significance of doing something together because we all enjoy it."

It was first revealed through online music portals on September 30 at noon (KST). Ailee will be performing her first comeback stage on October 1 through 'M!
