Don't Call Me is the seventh Korean studio album by South Korean boy group
Don't Call Me peaked at number one on the
Background
On January 6, 2021, SM Entertainment announced Shinee would return with a new album after two and a half years[2][3] as three of the members completed their military duties – members Onew, Key and Minho were discharged from the military in July, September and November, respectively.[4][5] In an online conference the members said the transition from soldiers to K-pop singers was not the easiest. Onew stated, "While I was adjusting, I felt that my body was dancing separately under my neck," and added "it's the members who helped me out a lot. They kept me going and elaborately went into the details for the choreography." Fellow member Minho, who served in the Marine Corps, said it took him "about two months to completely adjust."[6] Key talked about the pressure to match up to expectations with so much excitement for their new album but promised they would stay true to themselves and be diligent as they always have been. He also explained they chose "Don't Call Me" as the title track because they wanted a dramatic change from what they had been doing so far.[7]
Composition
Compared to previous releases, Don't Call Me features no overarching theme, and instead features songs that felt right for them, with Minho saying, "Some songs are quintessential Shinee songs, but there are also other songs that are things we've never tried before. They fit today's genres and musical mood."
We felt that ("Don’t Call Me") was the perfect track because it also showcases our performance. That was something we really wanted to do. Shinee is a group that always tries something new.
Minho about choosing 'Don't Call Me' as their title track in an interview with Dazed (February, 2021)[11]

Kim Jak-ga of Kyunghyang Shinmun gave a positive review of Don't Call Me, saying that the group "never loses direction on how to express each song," with the album's songs being "smoothly connected and flows like a wave".[67] Puah Ziwei of NME opined that the group "meander through echoes of their past hits, chase the latest trends and top things off with a lead single that, for better or worse, draws from the most polarising aspects of fellow SM acts", though she felt the "hits easily outnumber the misses and it still teeters the line of the Shinee sound," ultimately giving the album four stars out of five.[65] Sophia Simon-Bashall of The Line of Best Fit felt the group "[claims] new ground" with Don't Call Me, noting the hip hop influence of the title track, which she stated "has become increasingly popular in K-pop during their two-year absence – but beneath that is something unique to Shinee".[64] J.T. Early of Beats Per Minute saw the album as "both a consolidation of what has made them icons and an exciting glimpse into potential new directions", and viewed the record's diverse tracks as "a great album for both newer and older fans".[62]
