The day after the eight members of ATEEZ announced the signing of an additional seven-year contract at KQ Entertainment, the K-pop boy group released GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3 ‘In Your Fantasy Edition’. While technically a repackage of ATEEZ’s June 2025 release GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3, the album includes mostly new tracks, including English and Korean versions of lead single “In Your Fantasy” and solo tracks for each member. ATEEZ’s main producer, EDEN, and rapper-leader Hongjoong took songwriting lead on the 15-track album, including for “In Your Fantasy”, a pulsating, “SexyBack”-esque track that encourages the listener to give in to desire. The entire song leans into the unabashed sexiness of ATEEZ’s GOLDEN HOUR era, as do solo tracks like vocalist Seonghwa’s “Skin” (“The way she moves, wildfire/Exploding desire/Wanna see you go higher/It’s written on my skin”). Other solo tracks include Hongjoong’s “NO1”, Yunho’s “Slide to me”, Yeosang’s “Legacy”, San’s “Creep”, Mingi’s “ROAR”, Wooyoung’s “Sagittarius” and Jongho’s “To be your light”. The In Your Fantasy EP includes “Lemon Drop”, the summer hip-hop track that became the group’s first-ever Billboard Hot 100 entry following its initial release in June 2025. ATEEZ’s GOLDEN HOUR series is on the more subdued, sensual side of the group’s anthemic, EDM-trap-leaning discography, but the album trilogy is no less energetic for it, launching the powerful, performance-driven group into their next seven years.
