Fifty Fifty unveiled their third digital single Too Much Part 1 at 6 PM on November 4, offering a bright and emotionally resonant take on the early stages of love.
The title track “Eeny meeny miny moe” draws a clever parallel between romantic tension and the playful uncertainty of rock-paper-scissors. With its pop rhythm, bright synths, and rhythmic hook, the song captures the group’s signature charm. The single also features “Skittlez,” their first hip-hop track, which channels explosive emotions through the metaphor of colorful candies.

AHOF will continue promotions as an eight-member group, with member Jeon temporarily absent due to health reasons.
