Ever wished summer could last forever? H1-KEY’s got the next best thing.

H1-KEY is back with Lovestruck, a mini album that feels like a sun-drenched memory—equal parts vibrant and tender. Led by the emotionally rich title track “Summer Was You” (여름이었다), the album captures the fleeting magic of the season and the stories we live through it. With refreshing melodies, band-style instrumentals, and heartfelt lyrics, Lovestruck is a thoughtful ode to summer and all the love, loss, and growth that comes with it.

At the heart of the release is “Summer Was You,” a guitar-driven song that reflects on moments that shined the brightest but passed all too quickly. It’s about the warmth of a love that felt endless—until it wasn’t. The track radiates both emotional depth and breezy charm, making it perfect for drives with the windows down or for quiet nights of nostalgia.

The mini album includes four additional tracks—“Good for U,” “One, Two, Three, Four,” “Let Me Be Your See,” and the instrumental version of “Summer Was You.” Each song delivers a message of comfort, self-discovery, or emotional healing, themes that have become core to H1-KEY’s identity. Known as “healing idols,” the four-member group—SEOI, RIINA, HWISEO, and YEL—continues to carve a space in K-pop that’s rooted in sincerity and hope.

Since their breakthrough with “Rose Blossom,” H1-KEY has embraced messages of resilience and growth. Their 2023 single “Seoul Dreaming” offered a hopeful look at pursuing dreams, while “LOVE or HATE” (2024) encouraged living life boldly. With Lovestruck, the group deepens their emotional storytelling, proving once again that they’re not just creating music—they’re building connection.

Whether you’re reminiscing on a summer romance or seeking solace in melody, Lovestruck offers a soft place to land.
