The album and single name were revealed to be After Sunset and Alone respectively, through a trailer video on October 24, confirming their comeback on November 7.[4] The track list, promotional photos for each album version, and song previews were shown in the subsequent days leading up to the EP's release. It consists of five songs, three of which were co-written and co-produced by member Lee Gikwang.[5]
