After wrapping up their 1st Asia Tour Persona, SS501 made preparations for their new mini-album Destination right away. Once again, they collaborated with American producers Steven Lee and Ken Lewis who worked on their Rebirth album, as well as Grammy-winning mix engineer Kevin KD Davis, producing another world-class pop album with four new songs.[4]

The lead track, "Love Ya" was composed by Steven Lee, a grand and emotional mid-tempo song with heavy beats, accompanied by an orchestra and blended with a piano melody.[1] The album also features the R&B track "Let Me Be The One", the dance song "Crazy 4 U" which was first heard and performed during their tour, and the Eurobeat-style pop track "Forever" written by Heo Young-saeng.[4]

Their first win for the lead track, "Love Ya", was on KBS's Music Bank, on June 11.[5] On June 18, DSP announced that SS501 would end their "Love Ya" promotions due to the expiration of their contract on June 7, 2010, five years after since their debut.[3]
