The six-track record includes the title song FOCUS as well as their hit single STYLE, released in June, which became the group’s highest-charting track to date on Melon and has maintained strong positions on global platforms like Apple Music. The album promises to showcase an expanded musical spectrum, signaling the group’s rapid growth since debut.
This comeback marks a pivotal moment in Hearts2Hearts’ journey. Since their debut in February with The Chase—a track that sparked a viral challenge and set a new K-pop girl group record for highest first-week sales with 408,000 copies—the group has been rewriting rookie history. Their back-to-back singles, The Chase and STYLE, both three-syllable titles, cemented their reputation as double mega-hits and heightened anticipation for what’s next.

Formed under SM Entertainment as the company’s first new girl group in five years since aespa, Hearts2Hearts consists of eight members: five from Korea and three international members from China, Indonesia, and Thailand. Their global appeal has already been proven, with explosive responses to their performances in the U.S., Mexico, the U.K., Indonesia, China, and Japan, as well as standout stages at Korean university festivals.
Ahead of the album’s release, the group unveiled a charming collage-style teaser schedule poster through their official SNS on September 22, signaling a series of teasers. In a surprise move, the B-side track Pretty Please and its music video will be pre-released on September 24, giving fans an early taste of the new era.
Since debut, Hearts2Hearts have achieved rookie crowns at four major award ceremonies, earned double honors at the 2025 Brand of the Year Awards (domestic “Rookie Girl Group” and Indonesia “Rising Star”), and been appointed Seoul City ambassadors. They’ve also secured endorsements across finance, fashion, beauty, F&B, and e-commerce, living up to their title as one of 2025’s breakout rookies.
With FOCUS marking their second physical album, industry watchers are keen to see whether Hearts2Hearts can surpass their own record-setting sales and further solidify their position as K-pop’s most promising new act.
