Background and release

In April 2016, the group announced that they will be releasing a 2.5 episodes or trilogy series called The Clan, revealing the first concept as Part 1: LOST.[3] A pre-released track, "Ex Girl", featuring Mamamoo's Wheein, was released on May 9. It is described as a mellow pop R&B track, describing a man's regret about the one who got away.[1][4] "All In", the album's lead single, was released on May 18. It is a hip hop track that highlights the group's signature powerful sound and move; it also features a thumping beat and furious raps.[5][6]

The music video for the lead single was released on Starship's and 1theK's official YouTube channels on the same day. It was also directed by the award-winning film director, Dee Shin.[7][8]

The group held their comeback showcase on May 18, at Yes24 Live Hall in Seoul, and was streamed live on Naver's V App.[5][9]
