STAYC Prepares to Launch a New Summer Anthem with “2 L0VE,” Showcasing Their Confident Charm

2026 06 16

STAYC is opening a new chapter in their career with an expanded musical spectrum and a fresh sound.

STAYC (Sumin, Sieun, ISA, Seeun, Yoon, and J) will release their sixth single album 2:LOVE through major online music platforms on June 16 at 6 PM KST.

2:LOVE captures the excitement, uncertainty, and moments of confidence that come with love, all expressed through STAYC’s signature bright and upbeat energy. The album highlights the group’s lovable yet self-assured charm, portraying individuals who navigate doubts and emotions while remaining honest with themselves.

The title track “2 L0VE” takes inspiration from the tennis score notation “two-love” (2:0), cleverly replacing the “O” in “LOVE” with a zero to incorporate the score into the title. Built around an infectious synth-driven sound, the pop dance track compares the feelings of falling in love to the flow of a tennis match. Its lyrics and vibrant production showcase a confident attitude toward love while emphasizing STAYC’s refreshing signature style.

The music video teaser for “2 L0VE,” released on June 14, has also generated strong buzz by capturing STAYC’s bright and carefree moments. Featuring the members’ vibrant summer energy, rhythmic visual direction, and the song’s upbeat sound, the teaser has further heightened anticipation for the full music video.

In addition to the title track, the album presents a variety of perspectives on love. “WHERE YOU AT?” expresses excitement and certainty toward a destined connection, while “SORRY” playfully captures the experience of repeatedly talking about the same person when in love through witty lyrics and a catchy melody. “BEAT MY LOVE” explores the journey of ultimately following one’s heart despite being unable to easily define complicated emotions. Together, the tracks paint a diverse picture of love through STAYC’s unique lens.

Since their debut, STAYC has earned widespread acclaim with songs that embody their distinctive Teenfresh identity, including “ASAP,” “Teddy Bear,” “Bubble,” and “I WANT IT.” With 2:LOVE, the group adds a new musical dimension to their signature charm, presenting more mature emotions and a candid story about love. Fans are eagerly anticipating how STAYC’s confident and refreshing appeal will unfold through this latest release.

Meanwhile, following their comeback with 2:LOVE, STAYC will continue their global activities through the 2026 fan concert tour STAY CLOSER. Beginning with performances in Seoul on August 22 and 23, the tour will continue across seven cities worldwide, including Manila, Macau, Taipei, Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney.
