Described as a "treasure chest full of FAKY up until now", the album comprises a diverse mix of tracks that showcase the quintet's versatility. 

Included on the 17-track F are familiar tunes that were released as singles over the last few years — such as 'half-moon', 'little more', and 'ANTIDOTE' — as well as newer ones such as 'Diamond Glitter', 'Choco Fudge', and 'My Story'. 

Penned by FAKY's Lil' Fang, 'My Story', which was unveiled just days before the album's launch, is a heartbreak anthem that explores what it is like to experience unrequited love. 

An accompanying music video for the track will be released via the group's official YouTube channel at 5 PM on 19 October. 

Made up of Lil' Fang, Mikako, Hina, Akina, and Taki, FAKY have been pushing the envelope for J-pop since they burst onto the scene in 2013. In a 2021 interview with Bandwagon, the group spoke about exploring different musical styles and embracing their individuality.
