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 will 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]
At their press showcase, member Min explained that process of finding good songs for their album took 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 title track "Only You" was written and composed by Black Eyed Pilseung, who had produced Sistar's "Touch My Body" and 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".
