In September 2013, the group announced that they will be starting a new promotional cycle with their first full-length album after the chuseok holidays.
Prima Donna's lead track, "Gun", contains retro influences with a western beat,[2] featuring a brass and blues feel with an electronic guitar.[3] The single charted on the Gaon charts at number sixteen.
Background
In September 2013, a Star Empire Entertainment official stated that ZE:A's label-mates Nine Muses would start promotions in the second half of the year.[4] The group confirmed this in an interview with Star News, where member Hyuna shared that they recently shot the album cover and are currently practicing their choreography, with this year's chuseok being "more of a period of preparation for our album rather than a holiday".[1] Minha said that the album will have songs they haven't tried before, and as there are many tracks, the nine members "fused their individual charms to become one".[1]
The album's name and release date was revealed a week later on September 26, 2013, along with a track list of eleven songs.[2]
