Global K-pop sensation SHINee is making a dazzling return with their new single ‘Poet | Artist’, officially dropping at midnight on May 25 across major streaming platforms. The release features two tracks: the title song of the same name and the B-side ‘Starlight’.

‘Starlight’ is a dance-pop gem infused with funky electric guitar riffs and lush synth pads, delivering a breezy mid-tempo vibe. The lyrics poetically capture the raw emotions of encountering someone special for the first time, likening the moment to a starlight breaking through darkness—a metaphor befitting SHINee’s signature lyrical depth.

The group’s layered harmonies, coupled with energetic yet refined vocals, bring the track to life, showcasing once again why SHINee remains a staple in the global music scene. Fans can expect a perfect fusion of the group’s bright energy and musical sophistication.

Meanwhile, the physical album of ‘Poet | Artist’ will be available on May 26, with pre-orders already open both online and offline.

As SHINee continues to redefine K-pop versatility, this latest release harks back to their roots while illuminating a new sonic path ahead.
