The K-pop group ATEEZ is set to drop their new title track, "Lemon Drop," as part of their upcoming 12th mini album, GOLDEN HOUR: Part.3. Fans can expect the album to hit the shelves on June 13, 2025, as the third chapter in their ongoing Golden Hour series.

On May 30 at midnight, KQ Entertainment, which manages the group, shared the tracklist on their official social media pages. The new album will feature five songs: "Lemon Drop," "Masterpiece," "Now This House Ain't a Home," "Castle," and "Bridge: The Edge of Reality."

Group members Hongjoong and Mingi have put their stamp on four of the tracks, including the title song, by helping to write the lyrics. GOLDEN HOUR: Part.3 comes after GOLDEN HOUR: Part.2, which hit the shelves in November 2024. The first part of this series came out in May 2024, kicking off the themed trilogy and featuring the title song "Work."

In GOLDEN HOUR: Part.2, "Ice on My Teeth" took the lead. This third release sees ATEEZ pushing forward with the story and sound of the Golden Hour collection.

KQ Entertainment dropped a moving poster for the album on YouTube on June 2, along with the tracklist poster. The video shows "THIRSTY" written on a foggy, rain-splattered car window. It has thunder and lightning sounds in the background. The clip also shows key phrases, like the album name, the code "GH3613," the boy band's motto "8M1T," their debut date "ATZ-181024," and their fan club name "ATN." This new release marks ATEEZ's first since their second full album in November 2024.

The five-track EP aims to carry on the group's story through their music. It will come out as they get ready for their world tour, IN YOUR FANTASY, set to kick off in July 2025.
