Its EDM-infused dance-pop sound underlines the group’s signature dynamic performances and bold ambition to innovate and connect globally through music.

Another group track, HBD (Happy Birthday), features a rugged rock sound that encapsulates the fierce rebirth of Seventeen, while hitting vocal performances amplify their renewed intensity.

Bad Influence, created in collaboration with legendary producer Pharrell Williams, blends uptempo drum beats and deep 808 bass lines, capturing a confident and liberating mood.

The album also boasts a range of solo tracks emphasizing the individual artistry of each member. Joshua brings warm vibes with Fortunate Change, while June (Jun) touches the heart with an emotional yet energetic track Gemini. Sungkwan delivers powerful sentiment with Raindrops.

Wonwoo goes fresh and band-driven in 99.9%, while Dokyeom (DK) warms listeners with an acoustic-led ballad Happy Virus. Vernon reveals his trendy and refreshing side with Shining Star.

Hoshi partnered with iconic producer Timberland for a sensuous solo, Damage (feat. Timberland). Dino brings a modern R&B twist to early 2000s hip-hop sounds in Trigger. Woozi embraces a lyrical ballad in Fate, Jeonghan sings of dreamy encounters in Coincidence, and The8 (Dino) unveils haunting beauty in Skyfall.

Mingyu goes groovy and electronic with Shake It Off, while S.Coups drops fierce confidence in Jungle with lyrics like “10 years strong in Gen-3.”

Pledis Entertainment described the highlight medley as a tribute to Seventeen’s ongoing evolution, urging fans to explore a space where anyone can transform through challenges. “Watching with a VR headset enhances immersion,” the company noted.

Seventeen’s highly-anticipated album Happy Burst Day officially drops on June 26 at 6 PM KST. Ahead of the release, a massive offline event, B-DAY PARTY, will be held in celebration of the group’s 10th debut anniversary from June 23 to 25 across Sebitseom and Submerged Bridge in Seoul.
