[SPOTV News=Reporter Kim Won-gyeom] On April 21 — exactly 15 years after their debut album — B1A4 celebrated the milestone by releasing SET, their ninth mini-album.
Amid a wave of high-profile comebacks, the trio — Shinwoo, Sandeul and Gongchan — chose to spend April 21 with fans, timing the release to coincide with their 15th anniversary.
The title track, \"Rock Paper Scissors,\" pairs rhythmic bass, bright synths and groovy drums with an energetic hook to craft a buoyant dance-pop song that channels B1A4’s signature playfulness. Built around the idea of \"two over one, three over two,\" the track depicts how simple games can naturally bring people together, offering an inviting, infectious groove anyone can enjoy.
\"CPR\" marries textured synths, a gentle melody and gradually layered arrangements into a midtempo pop piece that presents \"you\" as the force that revives frozen emotions and stalled time. Framing lovers as each other’s lifesaving CPR, the song’s cinematic, romantic lyrics and nuanced vocal work leave a lasting emotional impression.
\"Colors on Me\" blends soft melodies with tasteful synth textures in a midtempo pop tune that delicately describes the feeling of being slowly colored by someone you love. Centered on the line \"your colors on me,\" it traces how everyday moments become filled with the other person’s presence.
\"5959\" rides an upbeat beat and bright synths, cheerfully conveying the thrill and liberation of falling in love. Anchored by a repeating \"5959\" hook, the track captures those wordless instances when two people, lost in their own world, sense one another without speaking.
Another cut, \"This Star,\" pairs lyrical melodies with emotional arrangements in a ballad about holding on to someone even at the moment of parting. The song uses a play on words between \"this star\" and \"farewell\" and showcases the three members’ vocal strengths.
Alongside appearances on music programs, B1A4 will headline a concert on May 2 at the outdoor stage on Yebitseom in Banpo-dong, Seoul. They plan to perform hits spanning 15 years alongside new material, marking the return of one of K-pop’s enduring favorites. In addition to members of their official fan club, BANA — recruited through the group’s website — the band will offer a free, condensed retrospective of their 15-year career to visitors at the Han River during the Family Month holiday.
