After several scenes flash in succession–including snippets of the group's members dancing in the street, playing with paintbrushes, riding on motorcycles and playing an electric guitar–all thirteen members come together in the end to admire a sunset on the rooftop of a building, with the album's name and Oct. 22 release date hanging above their heads in animated text.[2]

Later on October 18, The group released a highlight medley of songs from Attacca in a highly stylized video uploaded to their YouTube page. The video teaser sees the group taking to various sound stages to perform clips of seven songs — “To you,” “Rock with you,” “Crush,” “PANG!” “Imperfect love,” “I can't run away” and “2 MINUS 1” — that sees the group members hanging out in a chemistry lab, plant and flower-filled gardens, and warehouses with neon lights. “2 MINUS 1” is the one track from Attacca that will be released as a digital single only.[3]

The band shared two music video teaser for their new song "Rock With You" through their official YouTube channel at midnight on October 21 .[4]
