His first solo release since his debut in 2008 as a member of SHINee is an R&B pop track with fresh tropical house vibes, designed to combine Key's vocal sounds with his unique stage performance, SM said.

The solo career is the latest addition to Key's entertainment portfolio, which includes acting in TV series and musical drama pieces as well as fashion design.
