Group &TEAM will release its Korean mini 2nd album 'Mark on Me' at 6 p.m. on September 8. This is their first Korean album in approximately 10 months since 'Back to Life' last October.

On the 1st, &TEAM posted an image of the new album's tracklist on its official SNS, revealing a total of six tracks including the title song 'Mark on Me', which shares the same name as the album, along with 'Good Boy', 'Love Letter', 'Accelerate', 'Empty', and 'Night to howl!'.

'Mark on Me' is a song that adds the emotion of love to &TEAM's identity, the 'wolf DNA'. It tells the story of a wolf who had locked itself away after being rejected by the world, transforming upon meeting 'you' who accepts all of its aspects. The album title carries the meaning that two fated beings leave indelible marks on each other.

YX Labels, &TEAM's agency, explained about the title track: "It is a song with beautiful piano melodies and dramatic development that left a strong impression. The lyrics convey an earnest plea to 'you' who embraced even our wounds, asking us to be tamed."

The included tracks move between pop, hip-hop, R&B, and rock, expressing the changed heart after meeting a fated being. 'Good Boy' is a song where innocence and wildness intersect; 'Love Letter' revives the romance of the 1990s when people wrote their feelings in notebooks and handed them over. 'Accelerate' sings of the excitement of running through city streets with someone who becomes the strength to move forward again, while 'Empty' is about a person who filled an empty heart. 'Night to howl!' is a song that pours out suppressed emotions at full volume.

The title track was produced by Gripp Clouston, who has worked with BLACKPINK's Rosé and NCT, and singer-songwriter Benson Funn also participated in the song creation. Johnny Goldstein is credited as the producer for 'Good Boy', while Bang Si-hyeok, Chairman of HYBE, along with Supreme Boy, His Noise, and Curtis, also contributed to this track.

Chiz Stevens produced 'Accelerate', and Dwillie, who created &TEAM's 'Heartbreak Time Machine', produced 'Empty'. Soma Kenda, who has been with &TEAM since its inception, co-wrote 'Love Letter' with Park Moon-chi and also handled 'Night to howl!'.
