On 10 March, SM Entertainment confirmed in a statement to Naver News that the singer will be making her long-awaited debut as a solo artist with the project this April.

On the same day, Wendy took to Red Velvet's official Twitter page to share the news with her fans and express her excitement about the project. She wrote: "As it is my first solo album that is so precious to me, I will work harder..."
