On June 7, 2023, WakeOne confirmed through a title poster that the group would be releasing their debut EP, Youth in the Shade on July 10.[1]

On July 3, 2023, a title song poster revealed "In Bloom" as the title track for Youth in the Shade. On July 6, the first music video teaser for "In Bloom" was released and an audio snippet of the song was also released on TikTok.[2][3] The second music video teaser for "In Bloom" was released on July 9.[4] On July 10, Zerobaseone released the song alongside the music video and the EP's release.[5]

Composition

"In Bloom" was written by Seo Young-joon, Danke, Jo Yoon-kyung, Yi Yi-jin, Seo Ji-eum, Rum (MUMW) and Jeon Hye-hyung (MUMW), produced by Imsuho, Niko, MLC, and Gabriel Brandes, and arranged by Imsuho and Niko. It is a drum and bass and synth-pop song that samples the main riff from the 1984 single "Take On Me" from the Norwegian synth-pop band a-ha.[2][6] The lyrics describe the members having the courage to take their first meaningful step as a group, while being aware of an inevitable end, as they are determined to run to you.[6] The song is composed in the key of F-sharp major with a tempo of 82 beats per minute.[7]

Music video

The music video showcases the members going on a journey to gather and deliver flowers to the viewers after waking up in a room filled with overgrown plants. The group encounter various obstacles that they must overcome when they are suddenly transported into a video game-esque world, such as having to go through different levels and dealing with error codes along the way, but are successful in delivering the flowers as they are shown in a room filled with flowers at the end of the video.[2] The music video received 6.1 million views on YouTube in the first 24 hours of its release.
