Following the release of the remixed version of Why Don’t We’s global smash hit "Fallin’ (Adrenaline)" and a series of teasers hinting to new projects, the four-member boy band AB6IX finally made their much-anticipated comeback from their mini hiatus of only two months on Monday (Jan.18) with a release of their first-ever repackaged EP titled, Salute: A New Hope, along with the official music video for its title track “Stay Young.”
“We wanted to share our new songs, especially ‘Stay Young,’ with our fans ASAP because we felt like it was themed perfectly for winter,” Donghyun explains about their ambitious comeback. “We were also really eager to share our new concept as it’s completely different from our last promotion.”
The 13-track, meticulously curated album contains six original tracks from their last album, Salute (released in November 2020), as well as three new tracks, including the title track “Stay Young,” “Apricity” and “Encore.” The release also features reworked versions of the group’s past hits such as “Surreal” and “Blind for Love” off their second EP, Vivid, and 1st LP, Sixense, consecutively.
