Rookie group Nowadays has returned with their digital single ‘Let‘s Get It’. In addition to the performances they showed nonstop during their hiatus, they have also been busy preparing for their new album, and are all set to make new memories with their fans. In an interview with the December issue of @star1, the members shared various stories related to preparing for their new song, raising fans’ expectations.

Nowadays, who recently returned from a mini live in Macau, said, “We did our best to prepare for our new song while performing on stage with our fans.”. The members did not leave out any spoilers for their fans even though they were busy. Yoon said, “We showed a little bit of the new song’s chorus choreography on the Macau stage, and the fans really liked it,” conveying the excitement at the time.

Hyun Bin introduced the new song, saying, “‘Let’s Get It’ is a song with a message to break away from repetitive daily life and dance freely and happily.” The members’ participation in writing the lyrics stood out in this song, with Jin Hyuk saying, “The four members worked on the lyrics together and poured their passion into it.” Yeon Woo also expressed her pride in the collaboration, saying, “The members who were in charge of the rap part usually write the lyrics themselves, but this time, the vocal members also participated in writing the lyrics, which is especially meaningful.”

There were also welcome guests at the music video filming site. Hong Seok Cheon and Choi Sun Myung made a surprise visit, livening up the filming set. Hyun Bin said, “Hong Seok Cheon not only appeared in the music video, but also filmed a challenge video with us. He expressed his gratitude, saying, “Even though it was an early morning shoot and the weather was cold, all the members had fun.” Siyoon added, “We were all tired, but thanks to our seniors, everyone’s energy rose.”

The members then recalled the special moments when they realized they had debuted as idols after a long period of being trainees. Yoon laughed and said, “It was so amazing to see my name searched on a portal site,” and Yeonwoo said, “The moment I met my fans at the debut showcase, I felt like my dream had become reality.”

Lastly, Now A Days expressed their wish to create long, happy memories with their fans, just like the meaning of their fandom name, “Day &.” Siyoon answered, “I hope we can give our fans unforgettable memories and share happy memories with each other,” and Yeonwoo said, “I’ve seen g.od seniors perform on stage. Looking at the long-standing relationship between seniors and fans, I dreamed that Nows and Dayn could also be together for such a long time,” and promised to accompany fans.
