Joy is bringing a burst of bright colors to the final days of summer with her first mini album, ‘From JOY, with Love’.

Listening feels like flipping through the pages of a teen diary, filled with those first small, heart-fluttering moments of love.

Marking her return after nearly four years since her 2021 special album ‘Hello’, Joy’s first mini album features six tracks, including the title song “Love Splash!”. Each track paints a different love story from the thrill of a first crush to longing for a past relationship. There are also moments of self-comfort. With her signature breezy charm, Joy invites listeners to get swept up in her summer soundscape while reflecting on their own memories of love.

“Love Splash!”

Joy kicks off the album with “Love Splash!”, a refreshing pop dance track built on a heartbeat-like bass, soft piano and shimmering bell sounds. The song paints a vivid picture of love beginning by the summer sea, where calm waves suddenly rise in the heart. With delicate vocals, Joy confesses her feelings to the one who stirred her emotions, and together, they dive into love with a joyful “splash.” Her sweet energy makes this summer anthem feel both exhilarating and heartfelt.

“Get Up And Dance”

The energy continues with “Get Up And Dance”, a pop dance track driven by lively brass, claps and powerful drum sounds. Like adrenaline rushing through the body when falling in love, the lyrics capture the thrill of meeting someone by fate and wanting to dance the night away with them. Joy’s bright and breezy vocals amplify the excitement, pulling listeners straight onto the dance floor.

“La Vie En Bleu”

Switching moods, “La Vie En Bleu” combines bossa nova-styled acoustic guitar, warm drums and smooth EP sounds to create a dreamy French-inspired vibe. The lyrics tell a bittersweet story of revisiting places tied to memories of a past lover. They unfold like a scene from a romantic melodrama. Joy’s charming voice adds a touch of tenderness, making the nostalgia feel both melancholic and romantic.

“Unwritten Page”

“Unwritten Page” slows things down with a pop ballad based on a waltz rhythm, carried by clear piano melodies and sweeping strings. The lyrics speak from the future self, offering warm words of comfort to the past self during difficult times. Joy’s emotive vocals deliver this message with gentle depth, creating a song that resonates like a personal letter of healing.

“여름 편지 (Scent Of Green)”

Bringing freshness back, “Scent of Green” sparkles with airy summer-like ambiance, upbeat drums and groovy bass. Joy’s youthful and vibrant tone shines as she sings about treasuring every clumsy yet beautiful moment of a past summer love. Framed as a heartfelt letter to that person, the song wraps nostalgia in bright, glowing energy.

“품 (Cuddle)”

The album closes warmly with “Cuddle”, a medium-tempo ballad carried by calm piano accompaniment and Joy’s intimate vocals. The song delivers gratitude and comfort found in the embrace of a loved one, ending the record with feelings of warmth, safety and sincere affection.
