For example, for a couple of songs we tuned down the guitar. Not every song. And, of course, it affects everything. And just different kind of songs. It's hard for me to describe it because I'm so close to it, so near to it, but I'm really looking forward to hearing the mixes myself. It was a lot of work in the spring time. And I hope people will like it too. Let's see," Sami said.Fans can mark their calendars for September 26, when the new single will be released and the album will be available for pre-order.Also read: “Unreal beauty”: Netizens swoon over Stray Kids' Hyunjin’s airport look as he departs for Versace SS26 show at Milan Fashion Week"TikTok will break in 24 hours": Netizens react as PinkPantheress expresses interest in collaborating with Doja Cat
