MONSTA X's leader Shownu enlisted in July last year and is currently serving as a social worker, so they are currently promoting as a five-member group. Since the end of last month, Hyungwon, Kihyun, I.M, and Minhyuk have been infected with COVID-19 one after another and were released from quarantine. MONSTA X was originally scheduled to release a new album 'SHAPE of LOVE' on April 11th, but the comeback time was postponed once due to the members' confirmation of COVID-19. 

On the other hand, this album by MONSTA X is the first new album in 5 months since 'NO LIMIT', and it expresses various forms of love, such as love for myself, MONSTA X's music, and fans. Member Joohoney was in charge of producing the title song 'LOVE', while Hyungwon and I.M participated in writing, composing, and arranging the lyrics for 'Burning Up (Feat. R3HAB)' and 'AND', respectively, to enhance the album's perfection. Also, for 'Wildfire', the three participated in writing and composing the song together, and Hyungwon was also named in the arrangement.
