She explained about the title track 'Catch Catch', saying, 'You will see my addictive melody and my bubbly charm, along with a mature, devilish charm.' She continued, 'Recently, isn’t it the WBC baseball season? Since my song is called 'Catch Catch', I hope you listen to my song to get energized when catching the ball. I would be happy if my song helps us reach number one. I hope you catch all the balls.' Yena's 5th mini album 'LOVE CATCHER' was released through various music streaming sites at 6 PM that day.
