fromis_9's Last Comeback ahead of the release of "Midnight Guest"
On Sept. 1, 2021, Pledis Entertainment's girl group made their last comeback of the year. They released a special single album titled "Talk & Talk." This is the nonet's first release under Pledis Entertainment after transferring from Off The Record Entertainment in August of the same year.
fromis_9's "Talk & Talk" contains the title track of the same name, which is a spin-off of their previous title song "WE GO." "Talk & Talk" portrays a new interpretation of one of the scenes from the "WE GO" music video.
Pledis Entertainment described fromis_9's "Talk & Talk" as a song that delicately captures the fluttering emotions that those who have experienced butterflies in their stomachs at the start of a new encounter can easily relate to. They added that the song gives a comparison of the youthful excitement of yearning to talk on the phone all night long and the "say anything challenge" and "word relay."
About the album sales, "Talk & Talk" sold over 11,000 copies on the Hanteo Chart in the first week of release, while it sold 23,000 copies on the Gaon Chart in the first month. With 23,000 sales, the album debuted at No. 28 on Gaon's monthly chart for September.
