Additionally, it received a triple gold certification upon reaching sales of 750,000 yuan on QQ Music. The album name "HYPE VIBES" signifies a hot and free atmosphere that anyone can enjoy and connect with. The attitudes of the two, living in the moment with their own rhythm without being confined to fixed frameworks, are directly incorporated into the new mini-album. The title track "5, 4, 3 (Pretty Woman) (feat. Lay Bankz)" is a song that interpolates Roy Orbison's hit "Oh, Pretty Woman." The lyrics express love feelings towards someone strongly attracted, harmonizing with a lively disco sound. S.Coups and Mingyu participated in the lyrics and composition of all six songs, completing the new album with their preferences and sensibilities.
