Four-piece band Frankly (FRankly), who have been drawing attention as the super rookie of festivals, are releasing their new digital single 'Paper Chase'.

Frankly's new digital single 'Paper Chase' was released on the 21st at 12 p.m. through various domestic and international music platforms.

Frankly delivers music built on a sound that blends the sweet-and-bitter sensibility of their own with 2000s Brit pop and alternative rock, adding an honest attitude and lyrics without pretense. They boast a wide spectrum ranging from warm, comforting pop to powerful and vivid rock music, satisfying both the general public and rock listeners at various festivals and concerts.

'Paper Chase' is an easy-listening rock track that evokes a refreshing and pleasant atmosphere suitable for the approaching spring. The shimmering instrumentation throughout the song and the catchy, easy-to-follow vocal melody are very pop-like and upbeat, making listeners want to move, while the lyrics reveal an intention to address the issues faced by youth and share in lightening their emotional burdens.

The title track 'Paper Chase' originally refers to a traditional British game in which a runner (the rabbit) scatters pieces of paper on the ground while fleeing, and pursuers (the hounds) chase the paper trail to catch them. On the other hand, it is also a metaphorical expression for the exhausting and intense process of striving solely to obtain a degree (paper) rather than acquiring knowledge itself. Frankly weaves these two meanings together to deliver a message of encouragement for the youth struggling with the harsh realities of academic and job hunting.

Additionally, Frankly announced that they have prepared many bright and cute video contents that match the song with the release of this single, asking for much anticipation. Since the release of their previous EP album, Frankly has been releasing numerous short-form video contents, garnering positive reactions from many listeners, and they plan to continue offering various videos to fans and listeners this time as well. These contents will be released sequentially through Frankly's SNS channels.

Starting their activities near Hongdae, Frankly has steadily grown through word-of-mouth from over 100 performances. Last year, they appeared in the most festivals in their career, including the 2025 Someday Festival, 2025 Busan International Rock Festival, and 2025-2026 Countdown Fantasy, showcasing their commanding stage presence with overflowing energy and performances that drew strong audience responses. Following the release of their EP album in January this year, Frankly returns with a new single just three months later, continuing their tireless activities. They announced plans to release more songs within this year and asked for continued interest.
