Background and release

Composition

edit

The title track is described by Billboard as "bombastic and full of punk rock vibes, with slinking synths thrown in for good measure which "builds itself up to precarious sonic peaks with the “bang bang” of the chorus and then dramatically settles down before working its way once again to a dynamic hook that is fronted by gritty chants."[1]

Promotion

edit

On June 27, 2018, two hours after the album's release, a "Comeback Show" was broadcast live on Naver's V Live broadcasting site featuring Day6 presenting their new songs.[13] Day6 promoted the title song "Shoot Me" on various music programs in South Korea including M Countdown and Music Bank.
