Background and release
El7z Up was formed through the Mnet reality competition show Queendom Puzzle, which featured female contestants that have previously made their debut as artists. The show aired from June 13 to August 15, 2023. The group's final members were announced during the show's finale, which was broadcast live on August 15.[1]
On August 31, it was reported that the group will be debuting on September 14.[2] The next day, a teaser poster for the group's debut EP was released.[3] On September 3, the EP's title was revealed to be 7+Up, along with the release of the promotion schedule.[4] Concept photos and videos were released from September 5 to 9.[5] [6] On September 10, the track list was released, with "Cheeky" announced as the lead single. Two days later, the highlight medley of the tracks was released,[7] followed by a teaser for the music video of the title track "Cheeky" the next day.[8]
7+Up was released digitally on September 14, 2023, and in physical format a week later on September 21.[9]
Music
7+Up consists of five tracks, including the lead single "Cheeky".
