Background[]
On February 8, 2024, SM Entertaiment revealed that RIIZE will be releasing a mini album in the second half of the year.[1] On March 6, SM confirmed that the group will be having a comeback in April.[2] On April 3, RIIZE confirmed the release of their first mini album Riizing sometime in June, with the prologue single "Impossible" being released on April 18.[3] On April 28, the b-sides "9 Days", "Honestly" and "One Kiss" were released. On May 20, RIIZE announced that the mini album will be released on June 17.[4]
Composition[]
"9 Days" is a dance song that stands out with energetic synthesizer and drum sounds. It has an addictive melody that encourages people to sing along as if they are in the middle of a festival. The lyrics say to not get tired and continue to dream even when one is busy enough to feel like a week is 9 days.[5]
"Honestly" is an R&B pop song that combines soft and dreamy synth pads, trap drum beats, and sweet vocals. It tells the story of saying goodbye to the love that is hurting you and instead using our love for ourself.[5]
"One Kiss" is a medium tempo pop song with magnificent strings and powerful drums that create overwhelming emotions. The lyrics tell about the promise of unchanging love with just one kiss rather than words at the end of a happy day spent together.[5]

According to Hanteo Chart, Riizing sold 661,722 copies on its first day of sales.[6] By June 20, it surpassed 1 million copies sold.[7] The album sold 1,255,015 copies in its first week of release.[8]
