## Background

[Onew](/source/Onew)'s contract with his agency, [SM Entertainment](/source/SM_Entertainment), expired in March 2024. He signed a new contract with Griffin Entertainment for his solo promotions.[1] During an appearance on the music talk show *[The Seasons](/source/The_Seasons_(TV_program))*, he said that he made the change because he felt he was getting too comfortable at SM and wanted to pursue new challenges.[2] Onew began working on the EP in April 2024.[3] He produced it himself and wrote lyrics for all of the songs,[4] stating in an interview, "There's no part that I haven't touched."[3] He embarked on a fan meeting tour in May, at which he performed a new unreleased song titled "All Day".[5] On July 11, he announced through his social media accounts that he would release "All Day" as a digital single on July 15, followed by his third EP, *Flow*, in September.[6] The EP came a year and a half after his previous album, *[Circle](/source/Circle_(Onew_album))*,[7] and was his first release under his new agency.[6] Onew described it as his "brightest" album, saying that he wanted to become more approachable to the public.[3]

## Release and promotion

On August 13, 2024, Onew revealed the promotional plan for his new EP, confirming that it would be released on September 3.[8] Ahead of its release, he uploaded concept images themed around the days of the week to his social media accounts,[9] followed by highlight clips containing snippets of the songs.[10] He appeared on *The Seasons* on August 19, where he performed "All Day" and part of the EP track "Hola!".[11] Onew held a pop-up store in Seoul from September 5 to September 15, at which visitors were able to listen to all six tracks and view the music video set for "Beat Drum". Onew decided he wouldn't be appearing on [music shows](/source/Music_programs_of_South_Korea) to promote this EP, preferring to use that time to plan for his live performances.[12] He held a series of concerts, titled Hola!, in South Korea, Taiwan and Japan, where he performed songs from the EP.[7][13]
