Second Wind is the debut single album by BSS, a sub-unit of the South Korean boy band Seventeen. It was released on February 6, 2023, alongside its lead single "Fighting", featuring Lee Young-ji.[1][2] Serving as BSS's first release in almost five years, Second Wind topped the Circle Album Chart and broke the first-week sales record for an album released by a K-pop sub-unit.[3][4][5]

Background and release

[edit]

On January 7, 2023, BSS announced their plans of releasing a new single album, marking the sub-unit's first return since their debut digital single "Just Do It" nearly five years prior.[6] Although the track was intended to be a one-time skit created for Caratland, a fan meeting event for Seventeen, positive feedback and demand from fans prompted BSS to plan for another project.[7] On January 12, Pledis Entertainment further revealed details of the album's name, Second Wind; album versions; and February 6 release date.[8] Conceived as an album with an active sports aesthetic, a special version of Second Wind was launched, featuring BSS-themed sports apparel (a t-shirt, scrunchie, hairband, mask, and socks) arranged inside a shoebox-inspired package.[9]

On February 2, BSS teased the single album's three-song tracklist through a highlight medley designed to mimic a fitness app's goal tracker progression.[10] "Going BSS", a two-episode special of Seventeen's web variety show Going Seventeen, as well as two official teasers, were also aired to support the album's release.[11]

Second Wind was digitally and physically released worldwide on February 6, 2023. Its lead single, "Fighting", was released with an accompanying music video on the same day.[12] On February 23, BSS shared a special performance video of the track "7PM", featuring Norwegian singer Peder Elias.[13]
