Background

YG Entertainment announced on October 13, 2014 that the group would make a comeback with their eighth studio album on October 21, 2014. It was also revealed that the album release was delayed one week due to the music video shoot taking longer than expected.[3][4] The Japanese edition of this album was released by YGEX, the joint label between YG Entertainment and Japanese record label Avex Trax, on December 24th, 2014.[5]
