Background and release

edit

The album features several of g.o.d's most well-known and popular songs, such as "Lies", "One Candle" and "Sky Blue Balloon", which was dedicated to their fans and referred to their fandom color sky blue.[5]

Critical reception

edit

In its review of the album The Hankyoreh noted that although the overall musical style did not stray from that of the first two albums, the album's appeal lay in the relatable lyrics of the songs, listenable melodies and the members' own natural vocal styles.[6] It also commented that the group's appearance in their reality show g.o.d's Baby Diaries led to the surge in popularity.

Commercial performance

edit

The album sold 600,000 copies within several days[7] and would go on to sell over 1.8 million copies, making them the first group since Seo Taiji & Boys to surpass the 1.5 million mark. "Lies" ranked number one on multiple music program chart rankings, including Inkigayo, Music Bank, and Music Camp (former version of Show! Music Core) for three consecutive weeks, earning nine music show wins in total. "I Need You" also won four music show wins.
