RIIZE is stepping into a new musical chapter with their upcoming single “Fame.”
Tracklist Poster
SM Entertainment unveiled the tracklist poster for the group’s second single album via RIIZE’s official social media channels on November 10, offering fans a first look at the new songs and sonic direction.
The album features the title track “Fame” along with “Something’s in the Water” and “Sticky Like.” The teaser poster hinted at a moody yet stylish concept, signaling a deeper emotional tone for the group’s comeback.
A New Chapter in Sound
The title track “Fame” was written in collaboration with lyricist BIGONE, who also worked with RIIZE on their debut album “Bag Bad Back.” This time, the group takes on a fresh ‘emotional pop’ style, combining raw vocals with a minimalist, layered production.
“Something’s in the Water” stands out with its cool, mysterious tone — first previewed in the Fame trailer. Meanwhile, “Sticky Like” offers a dramatic arrangement that builds into an emotionally charged climax, showcasing RIIZE’s evolving artistry.
Reflecting Growth and Vulnerability
According to SM Entertainment, this release represents RIIZE’s personal and musical growth. “The single explores the unease and emptiness that come with chasing success — a message wrapped in emotional pop sensibility,” the agency explained.
This marks the group’s first comeback in approximately six months, following their steady rise as one of K-pop’s most promising boy groups. With “Fame,” RIIZE aims to reveal a more introspective side to their identity, focusing on emotion rather than perfection.
