After two long years of inactivity, B1A4 is now back with a new album!
On Monday, January 8, K-pop boy group B1A4 released the music video of “Rewind,” the title track of their eighth mini-album Connect. In particular, the album consists of a total of five tracks. Aside from “Rewind,” other songs included in the album are “Back to You,” “Pause,” “When You Call Me,” and “Still In My Heart.”
Moreover, the said album marks the group’s first comeback after two years. In 2021, B1A4 released the album Adore You before going on a military hiatus. Now, the trio finally returns after all the members have completed their mandatory military service.
Aside from a new album, B1A4 also held a comeback showcase to meet their fans. There, member CNU who composed “Rewind” revealed the story behind the title track.
“The title song is a song I created with the desire to go into a dream where I can meet my fans even if I turn back time,” the singer said. He also added: “For us, meeting our fans is like a dream.”

More about B1A4
Originally a quintet, B1A4 made their official debut under WM Entertainment in April 2011. In 2018, the group reconstructed into a trio composing CNU, Sandeul, and Gongchan. Such development came after members Jinyoung and Baro decided not to renew their contract with the agency.
Since their debut, the group has made several hit tracks including “What’s Happening?,” “Lonely,” “Beautiful Target,” among many others. However, the group had to temporarily go on a hiatus to fulfill their military duties.
Now back with new music and their 13th anniversary around the corner, the trio expressed their intention to continue for a long time. “We hope to stay together in the future, celebrating our 15th, 20th, 30th, and 40th anniversaries,” the group said.
