NEW YORK, NY – For a band that just swept two top honors at the 2026 Korea Grand Music Awards, releasing new music might seem like an afterthought. But LUCY is doing exactly that, dropping their eighth digital single 다시! (AGAIN!) just as their Asia encore tour reaches its final destination. The release marks the group’s first fresh output since April’s second full-length album, Childish, and arrives right as LUCY wraps up the 2026 9th Concert ISLAND Encore Tour, which closes in Singapore on November 14.
Bassist and producer CHO WONSANG, who wrote the lyrics and co-composed both tracks, explained the emotional core of the release: “Like this single 다시! (AGAIN!), I think what gives LUCY the strength to rebound when we’re worn out is WalWalE and the dreams we carry. I hope you’ll love and be loved by each other, by yourselves, and by this world through this album.”
The single features two tracks. The title song “다시! (AGAIN!)” confronts the exhaustion of a harsh world where one constantly ends up back at the starting point—yet chooses to keep moving forward anyway. Musically, the arrangement shifts between heavy beats and a lyrical melody, with violinist SHIN YECHAN taking the lead during the bridge before the guitar and bass launch into a full shred. The b-side, “아마 괜찮을 너에게 (saudade),” explores the lingering regret of a long-past relationship.
Also worth a look: Maddye Trew flips Carrie Underwood’s classic on its head with new ‘Bathroom Polo’ video and Zhana+ TV bets on puppets, pirates and a chipmunk with 4 new family pilots.
“The title track ‘다시! (AGAIN!)’ has this hopeful, overwhelming feeling to it, and we put a lot of care into expressing that emotion,” said SHIN YECHAN. “So more than anything, I hope our album can become even a small source of strength for WalWalE, who are running toward something ‘AGAIN!’ every day.”
The band is currently in the middle of the Asia encore leg of their 2026 9th Concert ISLAND Encore Tour. It began with three consecutive nights in Seoul from October 23 to 25, continued in Hong Kong on November 3, and ends in Singapore on November 14. The new single drops just as that final show approaches.
About LUCY
LUCY is a four-member South Korean band under MYSTIC that debuted on May 8, 2020. Their name means ‘light’ in Latin, and the lineup includes violinist SHIN YECHAN, vocalist and guitarist CHOI SANGYEOP, bassist and producer CHO WONSANG, and drummer and vocalist SHIN GWANGIL.
From the start, the band has composed, written lyrics for, and produced all of their own albums, steadily building a distinctive genre. They have grown into a leading K-band known for grand performances, a refreshing sound, and unique vocal color. All eight of their solo concerts in South Korea have sold out, and they headlined the Grand Mint Festival—a major Korean festival—for three consecutive years from 2023 to 2025. In 2024, they completed their first world tour, LUCY 1st WORLD TOUR written by FLOWER, across multiple cities in Asia and North America. This year, LUCY debuted at KSPO DOME with their solo concert ‘ISLAND’ in May, later performing in Taipei, Daegu, and Yokohama. The encore tour kicked off in Seoul in October, followed by Hong Kong, and concludes in Singapore on November 14. Most recently, LUCY solidified their standing as a top K-band act by winning both Best Artist and Best Band at the 2026 Korea Grand Music Awards (KGMA). The group will continue active promotions alongside their new single “다시! (AGAIN!)”.
Why it matters: With this release landing right at the peak of their tour and award momentum, LUCY is proving that commercial success and artistic output can go hand in hand. The single’s theme of persisting through exhaustion resonates strongly with a fanbase that has watched the band grow from debut to sold-out dome shows in just six years.
