ATEEZ is turning up the heat this summer with the release of the first teaser for their highly anticipated title track “Lemon Drop,” set to headline their upcoming album GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3. The teaser, which dropped on June 10 via the group’s official YouTube channel, has already sent fans into a frenzy with its cinematic visuals and infectious energy.
The short clip features tantalizing close-ups of each member, wrapped in a glossy, sun-soaked aesthetic that hints at a bold summer concept. Though the teaser only reveals two bars of the chorus, its catchy beat and vibrant styling have sparked a wave of online excitement.
“They’re really holding back the hook—it’s genius marketing,” one fan commented on Reddit. “It’s like they’re gatekeeping the whole vibe until release day.”
“Lemon Drop” is one of five tracks on GOLDEN HOUR : Part.3, scheduled to drop on June 13 at 1 PM KST. The album also includes “Masterpiece,” “Now This House Ain’t a Home,” “Castle,” and “Bridge : The Edge of Reality.” Notably, members Hongjoong and Mingi have co-written lyrics for four tracks on the album, including the title song, adding a personal layer to the project.
K-pop critics and fans alike are praising the group’s choice of “Lemon Drop” as a summer anthem. Its name—borrowed from the sweet and tangy cocktail—perfectly aligns with the group’s refreshing yet sultry concept for this era.
“ATEEZ is giving us sexy summer energy, and I’m here for it,” another fan posted.
“Lemon Drop” follows the group’s acclaimed Golden Hour series, and expectations are sky-high as ATEEZ continues to evolve their sound and style.
Whether it’s the bold visuals, the members’ creative input, or the strategic teaser drop, one thing is certain—ATEEZ’s “Lemon Drop” is poised to be the soundtrack of the season.
