Background and release[]
On June 4, 2015, Cube Entertainment announced that BTOB will be releasing their first studio album on June 29, 2015. This marks the start of BTOB's 2015 full-scale comeback activities. Ahead of comeback, BTOB notified the 180 degree different transformation of their style compared to previous promotions, with their first ever R&B ballad title-track "It’s Okay". "It's Okay" is expected to be reversal with a different level of BTOB's powerful vocal as weapon. They also stated that this transformation would show a more 'music influenced' side.[4]
"It's Okay" topped multiple music charts after its release, making it BTOB's first single to reach #1 on charts after 3 years of debut.[5][6]
