SAY MY NAME is closing out the year with a flourish.
The rising girl group has officially announced a surprise winter comeback, returning on December 29 with their third EP, ‘&Our Vibe’—a release that promises to wrap 2024 in their signature charm and evolving sound.
The comeback buzz first began on December 2, when the group dropped a mysterious video at the stroke of midnight. With no captions or context, the clip instantly sent fans into detective mode, sparking theories about concept changes, storylines, and even potential genre shifts. Less than 24 hours later, at midnight on the 3rd, SAY MY NAME made things official by unveiling their comeback timetable.
A Teaser Schedule Packed With Clues
The timetable itself is an attention-grabber. Designed like a colorful retro diary, it blends playful doodles, handwritten notes, and quirky icons—perfectly capturing the group’s youthful, kitschy vibe. Inside it, fans spotted intriguing keywords such as “teamUFO,” “Guest List,” and “Girl’s Night Playlist.” Each term feels like a breadcrumb hinting at the EP’s aesthetic, with possibilities ranging from a late-night party concept to a dreamy, otherworldly twist.
Beginning December 4, SAY MY NAME will release a steady stream of teasers, from member photos and videos to track previews and concept clips. With each teaser slot marked by cryptic symbols and themed notes, anticipation is growing as fans try to decode what “&Our Vibe” truly stands for.
A Jam-Packed Year From Spring to Winter
2024 has been nothing short of prolific for SAY MY NAME. The group kicked off the year with their second EP, ‘My Name Is…’, gaining widespread attention for its catchy tracks and fresh identity-building concept. The momentum continued with their bright spring carol ‘ShaLala,’ which became a seasonal favorite for its upbeat charm.
In August, they shifted gears for summer with their first single ‘iLy,’ expanding their versatility and keeping their presence strong in the competitive K-pop scene. Now, with barely any downtime, the group is already preparing to return with brand-new music—marking their fourth major release of the year.
Their year-end comeback officially seals 2024 as a full-cycle journey for SAY MY NAME, showcasing the group through all four seasons and cementing their reputation as one of the most consistent and hard-working rookies in the industry. Fans have affectionately dubbed this period “The Year of SAY MY NAME,” as the group kept airwaves lively from spring through the peak of winter.
While the concept remains under wraps, the mix of diary aesthetics, party-themed keywords, and extraterrestrial hints suggests a playful yet imaginative direction. Fans are already speculating whether the EP will lean into cozy winter nostalgia, a fantastical friend-group storyline, or a quirky, futuristic twist.
Regardless of the final theme, the comeback is poised to further highlight SAY MY NAME’s rising star power and creative identity as they cap off a milestone year.
With teasers just around the corner, excitement is building fast—setting the stage for a festive and vibrant close to 2024 as SAY MY NAME prepares to drop ‘&Our Vibe’ before the year officially ends.
