Background and release

In June 2016, Fantagio Music reveals details for the second EP by rookie boy-group, Astro. The EP is called Summer Vibes, with the lead single titled "Breathless". It was also revealed that Astro collaborated with the same composers who produced the tracks for their debut album.^[1][2]

"Breathless" is a refreshing song with a clear and addictive melody. It is also described as a breezy, synth-pop track that continues the feel-good vibes from their debut single "Hide & Seek".^[1][3]

The music video for "Breathless" was also released on July 1, featuring I.O.I member and label-mate, Choi Yoo-jung. The first half of the music video is filmed in Jeongdongjin Beach Park, while the second half is filmed in a forest in Namyangju. It shows the boys enjoying summer activities, as they appear to be human incarnations of soda bottles of the lead star.^[3][4][5][6]
