STAYC Eyes a New Global Breakthrough With '2:LOVE'

K-POP group STAYC will make its comeback with its sixth single album, "2:LOVE."

The release explores the excitement, uncertainty and confidence that come with falling in love, all delivered through STAYC's signature bright and energetic style. The group aims to present a more mature perspective on romance while maintaining the charm that has defined its music since its debut.

Title track "2 L0VE" takes inspiration from the tennis score term "two-love" (2:0), replacing the letter "O" in "LOVE" with a zero. Built on bright synth sounds, the pop dance track compares romantic feelings to a tennis match and highlights a confident approach to love.

The single album also includes B-sides "WHERE YOU AT?," "SORRY" and "BEAT MY LOVE," each offering a different take on relationships.

STAYC first gained international attention in 2021 with the viral hit "ASAP," whose catchy hook and signature choreography helped propel the group beyond Korea. The song reached No. 9 on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart and was later included on Billboard's list of the 25 Best K-POP Songs of 2021. STAYC's growing global profile also earned recognition from the Grammy Awards, which named the group one of its rising K-POP artists to watch.

Following the release of "2:LOVE," STAYC will launch its 2026 fan-con tour "STAY CLOSER," with stops in Seoul, Manila, Macau, Taipei and Australia.
