Colors is the third mini-album by South Korean girl group Miss A, which was released on 30 March 2015 by JYP Entertainment. "Only You" serves as the lead single for the album.

Background and release

In an interview with Star News in November 2014, JYP Entertainment founder Park Jin-young revealed that the group will start working on their next album once member Suzy is finished shooting her upcoming film The Hymn in December.[1] The album was slated for a summer 2015 release, and was later announced that they will return sometime in the first half of the year.[2] On 18 March 2015, it was revealed that the album would be released on 30 March, with their first live performance to be held on the same day at K-Art Hall in Olympic Park, Seoul.[3]

On the question of why it took more than a year for the group's return, member Min explained that the process of finding good songs for their album was longer than they thought with member Jia adding that Park Jin-young gave them one of his songs but was not included as it didn't had the "right feel."[4][5]

Composition

Colors consists a total of six songs of various genres.[6] The lead track "Only You" was written and composed by Black Eyed Pilseung, who had produced Sistar's "Touch My Body" and is a dance-pop song that includes hip-hop and trap rhythms. "One Step" is a retro neo soul song that incorporates groove, electronic and acoustic piano sounds. The track "Love Song" blends in violin sounds with a trap beat while "Melting" was composed by Norwegian producer group Dsign Music and is described as a "simple but strong song" with a "polished melody." "I Caught Ya" was written by member Suzy and talks about a girl witnessing her boyfriend cheating. "Stuck" is a medium tempo ballad characterized with "strong beats". The lyrics were written by member Min and is based on her own experiences, describing a love story about whether or not to date someone else.[7][8][4]

Commercial performance

Following the release of "Only You", the song topped on all the real-time music charts in South Korea.[9][10] Colors debuted at number three on the Gaon Album Chart while "Only You" debuted at number one on the Gaon Digital Chart for the week ending 4 April 2015.
