Love, Yerin was released on September 10, 2021. According to the agency, Blue Vinyl, the album name (Gift) pertains to the album as a gift to the fans, since cover songs are performed on stage and festivals, and in a situation where the artist cannot meet the audience in person, they thought it would be a great gift. They also added that the intention for the EP is to honor the original artists, and to be a surprise gift before moving on to the next chapter of Baek's solo career.[8]
Following the day of the EP's release, all tracks entered the top ten charts of Melon, Genie, and Bugs!, with the first track, "A Walk", occupying the top spot.[9]
