Background[edit]

On September 7, 2020, Yuehua Entertainment revealed that Everglow would release their second mini-album titled −77.82X−78.29 on September 21.[1]

Concept images came out between September 8–10.[2] The tracklist was released on September 11, revealing four tracks: lead single “La Di Da”, “Untouchable”, “Gxxd Boy” and “No Good Reason”; the lyrics for “La Di Da” were co-written by member E:U.[3]

The music video teaser for “La Di Da” was released on September 16,[4] and the music video on September 21.[5]

Composition[edit]

According to Yuehua Entertainment, -77.82X-78.29 represents Everglow’s “powerful and intense charisma”, as compared to their previous works. The album is characterized by its bolder sound.[6]

The lead single, “La Di Da”, falls in the uptempo electropop and retro categories, and its lyrical content is a “warning” to the “haters who are pretending and full of dissatisfaction in [this] confusing era”.[6]

Everglow held a live showcase on September 21, where they performed “La Di Da” and “Untouchable”.[7]

The group started promoting “La Di Da” on September 24 at Mnet’s M Countdown, followed by performances on KBS’ Music Bank, MBC’s Show! Music Core and SBS’ Inkigayo.
