Teleparty is the second single album by BSS, a sub-unit of the South Korean boy band Seventeen. It was released on January 8, 2025, alongside its lead single "CBZ (Prime Time)".
Background and release
[edit]In November 2024, it was revealed that BSS were preparing new music.[1] Teleparty was then announced on December 27,[2] the trio's first release since their commercially and critically successful debut single album Second Wind (2023).[3] The announcement for the album featured the members in an "election campaign-style video", rallying a crowd on the significance of enjoying their youth.[4][5]
On December 29, Pledis Entertainment announced that promotions for the single album would be paused in respect for the victims of Jeju Air Flight 2216.[6] Promotions resumed on January 5, 2025, following a national week of mourning in South Korea.[7]
The full tracklist was revealed on January 6, with all members of BSS writing the three songs on the album, alongside Seventeen bandmate Woozi and regular collaborator Bumzu.[8] A teaser for the lead single's music video was released the following day, featuring the members handing out denim jeans to students in a classroom, with a cameo appearance from singer and actress Uhm Jung-hwa.[9]
Music
[edit]The single album includes three songs. The lead single, "CPZ (Prime Time)", is described as having swing jazz and country based sounds.[9] "Happy Alone" resembles new jack swing and "Love Song" is reminiscent of 2000s R&B.[9]
Promotion
[edit]BSS are set to host a "fan party" on January 12 to commemorate the album at CG Art Hall in Seoul. The event will include the members "spreading happiness to all generations", with behind-the-scenes content and special performances.[10]
