[edit | edit source]

SM Entertainment announced in May 2023 that they would debut their new boy band, seven years after the debut of NCT, with the announcement that former NCT members Shotaro and Sungchan would withdraw from the group to join the lineup and SM Rookies members Eunseok and Seunghan would make their debut.[3][4] On August 1, the label revealed the seven-member boy group name "Riize", with three more members; Wonbin, Sohee, and Anton.[5][unreliable source?][6][unreliable source?]

On August 7, SM announced that Riize would be making their debut with their first single album, Get a Guitar, which is slated for release on September 4, 2023. The single album would contain a total of 2 songs, with "Memories" was released as the pre-release single on August 21, and the title track with the same name was released on the same date as the album.[7][8][9]

Composition

[edit | edit source]

The pre-release single, "Memories", is a song with synthesizer and guitar sounds, and lyrics about cherishing the memories of preparing and practicing together while dreaming the same dream.[10] "Get a Guitar", the album's title track and the group's official debut single, is a song with retro synths and funky guitar rhythm, with the lyrics that show the process of understanding and empathizing with each other and becoming a team through music, and at the same time, the members gathered in one place according to the sound of the guitar, while conveying the message that they will realize their shining dreams.[11]
