She added, "When I first released music as a soloist, it was 'Spit It Out' and it was only a single. But this time, it's my first mini-album, so I'm more nervous."
The news outlet then asked MAMAMOO Solar why it took her nearly two years since her solo debut to release a new solo album.
She responded, "I was surprised, too. I didn't know it was already two years since I released my first single 'Spit It Out.' I could have released an album sooner, but I'm the type of person who likes new challenges."
