SM’s rising stars Hearts2Hearts have officially shared their debut mini album, FOCUS.

A five-track offering also containing the New Jack Swing pre-release track “Pretty Please,” the title track “FOCUS” is already winning over fans through its addictive blend of glossy house-pop sounds.

Defined by a memorable, bright piano riff, “FOCUS” sharply captures that bittersweet moment when an obsession takes over: “I cannot focus on anything but you.” With stylish runway production that’s bound to have you reaching for the repeat button, it's no wonder that “FOCUS” lives up to its message given that legendary songwriter KENZIE – the virtuoso behind some of K-pop’s most iconic commercial hits – has added her signature golden touch.


Elsewhere on the mini album, the nu-disco flavored “Apple Pie” seamlessly flows into the city pop number “Flutter” before closing out with the dreamy R&B-pop ballad “Blue Moon.”

After debuting earlier this year with their intriguing single “The Chase,” Hearts2Hearts have steadily racked up a healthy number of streams while keeping fans engaged at every step of the way. Hearts2Hearts – made up of JIWOO, CARMEN, YUHA, STELLA, JUUN, A-NA, IAN and YE-ON – took things up a notch when their summer smash “STYLE” went viral – specifically via a dance challenge initially created by IAN, which has since amounted to over 46 million views across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts. 

Elsewhere, the group’s line-up is notably home to the charming CARMEN, SM's first-ever idol of Indonesian heritage – a smart move by the entertainment giant which has been a key factor in the group’s instant appeal to the wider Asian market, positioning Hearts2Hearts as a leader of the fifth-generation pack.
