Release and promotion

On May 27, 2025, the band announced on their social media the third installment of their Golden Hour series, scheduled for release on June 13.[1] The EP was described as part of the band "reclaiming their emotions" and "rediscovering what once connected them to themselves and others". Golden Hour: Part.3 features five songs, most of which were written by members Hongjoong and Mingi.[2] To promote the release, Ateez held a press conference on June 12.[3] Hongjoong explained that they had "worked hard over the past seven months to prepare this album", aiming to work just as hard "during promotions".[4] Wooyoung added that the band tried to preserve "Ateez's unique colours" throughout the EP.[5]

"Lemon Drop" was selected as the lead single, a track Hongjoong described as "an R&B hip-hop genre song with a refreshing vibe, containing Ateez's "sweet and tangy confession".[2] Following the release of "Wave" in 2019, Wooyoung expressed his resurgent desire for the band to claim the title "Summer is Ateez", saying that they are "good at summer songs too".[6] "Lemon Drop" debuted at number 69 on the Billboard Hot 100 earning them their first entry on the chart and being the third Korean boy band to reach this achievement.[7]

The deluxe version of the EP, titled Golden Hour: Part.3 'In Your Fantasy Edition', was released on July 11, alongside the lead single "In Your Fantasy".[8]
