On November 5, 2025, SM Entertainment announced WayV will be releasing a mini album in the fourth quarter of 2025.[1] On November 11, SM Entertainment confirmed WayV's plans for a winter comeback, slated for a December release.[2] Five days later, on November 16, the winter special album Eternal White was announced to be released on December 8.[3]

Composition[]
"The Fifth Season" is an R&B song that blends a deep melody and a cappella arrangement with rich harmony. The lyrics contain the longing and faintness for the other person in the stopped time.[5]
"Eternal White" is a dance pop song that combines rhythmic saxophone riffs and energetic drum beats, while the harmony of energetic rap and sweet vocals creates warmth. The lyrics express a strong will to break the frozen time like a white winter and move forward constantly.[6]
"Moment in Time" is an R&B song that combines the sound of 808 bass and nylon guitar to create a dreamy atmosphere. The lyrics, which are likened to the moonlight that seems to permeate the traces of the heart that remain vividly even after the passage of time, and the sweet vocals leave a deep aftertaste.[7]
"First Time" is a medium-tempo R&B song that produces a romantic mood with warm synth sound and bounce rhythm. Member Kun participated in the composition and arrangement. The lyrics are full of the trembling of the first meeting and the feelings of pure love.[8]
"Strange Tears" is an R&B-pop song with a piano and detune synth sound. The unique and sophisticated strings double the sense of immersion. It tells about the moment when you face an unfamiliar self in a chaotic inner world which becomes a process of growth.[7]
"Stay" is a medium-tempo English song with synth bass and R&B groove that gives it a trendy charm along sensual vocals. The lyrics melt the honest yet subtle emotions that appear as two individuals get closer to each other.[7]
"Lover After Me" is a magnificent symphonic ballad that combines classical orchestration and modern pop sound. It delicately and calmly convey the regret and sorry one's faced at the end of love, and the sincere desire for the other person's happiness.[8]
