SHINee’s KEY teams up once again with hitmaker KENZIE to captivate fans worldwide with his new title track, “Hunter.”

KEY’s third studio album, titled “HUNTER”, will feature 10 tracks, including the eponymous title song, presenting an even richer vision of his musical world. The album will be released on August 11 at 6 PM KST across all music platforms.
The title track “Hunter” is a dance song that blends a powerful bass, heavy kick drum, rhythmic guitar riffs, and various synth pads, creating an intense sonic harmony. The lyrics explore the painful joy felt in a complicated relationship, marked by an obsession with the other person. KEY’s dynamic vocals further amplify the dramatic and immersive nature of the song.
Notably, KENZIE, who has previously worked on KEY’s signature songs like “Bad love,” “Gasoline,” and “Good & great,” participated in writing and composing “Hunter.” Their well-established collaboration has raised great expectations for this new musical release.
The choreography for “Hunter” highlights KEY’s delicate expressiveness and intense energy, featuring complex and conceptual moves that maintain strong engagement from start to finish. Audiences can expect a highly praised stage performance.
Additionally, the album teasers released on July 28 via SHINee’s official social media show KEY wandering through a dark urban setting, searching for something. This mysterious and tense atmosphere heightens curiosity about his comeback.
Finally, KEY’s third studio album “HUNTER” will also be available in physical format starting August 11, with pre-orders already open at various online and offline music stores.
