Named iHeartRadio’s K-pop Artist of the Year, the group also earned their first American Music Awards nomination this year and is continuing their unstoppable success with a new album.
This album marks the beginning of a temptation that knows no bounds, as ATEEZ’s sweet yet dangerous allure captures the beauty of every wavering moment, shining brilliantly just as it is. It captures the fevered energy of a summer night—a fleeting burst of freedom and escape that quenches a deep, almost insatiable thirst.
GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3 explores how youth confronts raw emotion, taking listeners on a journey of temptation, rebellion, and wavering to uncover the true nature of feelings. Amid the fast-paced rhythm of daily life, emotions are often suppressed, causing that thirst to intensify—an unquenchable desire that only grows stronger.
It’s a burning thirst that can no longer be delayed and reaching for something sweet yet dangerously tempting offers only momentary relief, never true satisfaction. The EP follows their journey as ATEEZ chooses the path less followed, reclaiming their emotions and rediscovering what once connected them to themselves and others.
The EP features five songs, with members HONGJOONG and MINGI taking part in writing the lyrics for four out of the five tracks on the album. The focus track “Lemon Drop,” is a seasonal song perfectly crafted for summer. Like a refreshing Lemon Drop cocktail, ATEEZ’s sweet and cool confession infuses hot summer days with excitement.
