ATEEZ return with 12th EP 'GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3' and ‘Lemon Drop’ MV ahead of world tour

ATEEZ are back with a sweet but dangerous temptation. On 14 June, the K-pop juggernauts dropped their 12th mini-album, GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3, alongside the playful and high-energy music video for its title track, ‘Lemon Drop’. The release continues the GOLDEN HOUR narrative, diving deeper into emotional rebellion and the pursuit of self-discovery.

Described as “a temptation that knows no bounds,” the five-track EP explores the messy, raw intensity of youth—the feverish desire to break free, the beauty of emotional vulnerability, and the bittersweet moments that define coming-of-age. It captures that fleeting summer night energy: warm, wild, and just out of reach.

‘Lemon Drop’ is a breezy seasonal anthem that feels like a fizzy escape. With a beat as addictive as its citrusy title, the track blends ATEEZ’s signature power with playful confessions and vibrant visuals. In the MV, the group deliver bold choreography, dynamic cuts, and a kaleidoscope of summer colours, showcasing their charismatic duality—both cool and chaotic.

Members HONGJOONG and MINGI were heavily involved in shaping the album’s sound, co-writing lyrics for four of the five tracks. From the introspective ‘Now this house ain't a home’ to the hauntingly cinematic ‘Bridge : The Edge of Reality’, GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3 balances storytelling with sonic experimentation.

Here’s the full tracklist:

1. 'Lemon Drop' — title track

2. 'Masterpiece'

3. 'Now this house ain't a home'

4. 'Castle'

5. 'Bridge : The Edge of Reality'

Coming off a career-defining year that saw them headline Coachella, break records on the Billboard 200, and be crowned iHeartRadio’s K-pop Artist of the Year, ATEEZ continue to evolve while staying rooted in their bold identity. GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3 proves they’re not just chasing emotions—they’re embracing them in full technicolour.
