During a KAT-TUN spring concert on April 3, 2007, Yuya Takaki, Daiki Arioka, Ryosuke Yamada, Yuto Nakajima and Yuri Chinen were announced to become part of a temporary group called Hey! Say! 7.

On June 16, 2007, it was announced that Hey! Say! 7 would release "Hey! Say!" as a single on August 1. This later became Hey! Say! JUMP's single. The song and the single's B-side, "Bon Bon", were used as the second opening and closing themes for the anime Lovely Complex.[4] The single sold 120,520 copies in its first week, making the group the youngest male group to top the Oricon singles chart.[5]

On September 24, the five members of Hey! Say! 7 were joined by Kota Yabu, Kei Inoo, Hikaru Yaotome, Keito Okamoto and Ryutaro Morimoto, all represented by Johnny's Jr's. The ten-member group was organized into two sub-groups of five, with the older members forming Hey! Say! BEST and the younger members in Hey! Say! 7.[2]
