However, F.T. Island was able to break their own record on the Album Sales Chart by selling 41,726 copies in the first week of sales. With 41,726 copies sold, F. T. Island has set a new personal high for album sales in their first week.
The band stated, “The production for this album overlapped with our Korean promotions so we were tight on recording time, but we made sure to stop and interpret every part of the lyrics because it’s important that we deliver the proper emotions.”
The title track, “STAY“, was produced and written by member Jonghun, which added more meaning to the album.
As reported previously, F.T. Island is gearing up for the release of their upcoming Japanese single,‘Neverland’. Although we have quite some time left before the release on April 18th, the group has just revealed the full PV for the song!
The music video shows the members rocking out in space, heightening anticipation about the new concept as well as the upcoming performance stages.
Even though the song has not been released, it has already gained much attention as it was chosen as the theme song of a Japanese anime titled, ‘Ozma’.

Going along with that concept, all the songs on their new album are slow-tempoed rock-ballad tracks.

Their agency FNC Music confidently remarked, “This may be their best album yet, as by hearing the rock ballad tracks, fans will be able to experience how much they boys have matured musically.”
