Seventeen released their 12th mini-album “Spill the Feels,” which is a continuation of the K-pop boy group’s goal to encourage their listeners to live with “deepened authenticity and authenticity.”
The EP — which is an anagram of the phrase “I Felt Helpless” — was dropped on Monday, October 14, and contains six tracks: “Eyes On You,” “Love, Money, Fame (feat. DJ Khaled),” “1 to 13,” “Candy,” “Rain,” and “Water.”
“[The album] reflects the band’s transformative journey, where moments of helplessness and loneliness are turned into the dawn of a brighter future through the honest expression of emotions,” their label Pledis Entertainment said in a press statement.
The music video for “Love, Money, Fame (feat. DJ Khaled)” was released at 5 p.m. (Philippine time) on the same day. It showed the members holding bouquets of red roses in different areas in hopes of expressing love, before coming together in two dance sets.
The title track is also described as the group’s way of “spilling their unwavering love” despite the need for money and fame.

“The song explores the universal theme of ‘love’ in juxtaposition with ‘money’ and ‘fame’, values juggled in modern life,” the label said.
“Through the song, Seventeen declares ‘what I need is only you,’ articulating the band’s unwavering love for ‘you’ without a hint of hesitation in ‘spilling’ their feelings.”
The album has garnered over 3.4 million pre-orders, as of press time.
“Spill the Feels” was released six months after their compilation album “17 Is Right Here.” While members Jun and Jeonghan participated in the production of the record, they will be absent from promotions due to schedules in China and ongoing military service, respectively.
Seventeen is currently embarking on their “Seventeen Right Here” world tour which contains stops in South Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, and Bulacan in the Philippines on January 18 and 19, 2025.
