You Make My Day is the group’s fifth EP and has six tracks. Both the psychical and online editions were released simultaneously Monday, prompting the group to trend on major web portals including Naver on the same day.

Speaking to local media in a press conference, member of the group Mingyu revealed the title of track six “Our Dawn is Hotter Than Day” is reflective of the group’s real life, as the group often works on its music and rehearses into the early hours of the morning.

Seventeen will perform the lead single “Oh My!” for the first time on M Countdown on Thursday.
