In November 2024, it was revealed that BSS were preparing new music.
Teleparty was then announced on December 27, the trio's first release since their commercially successful debut single album
Second Wind (2023). A portmanteau of the words "telepathy" and "party",
Teleparty was chosen as the album title to remind fans to "pause and savor the ordinary yet precious moments of everyday life". The announcement for the album featured the members in an "election campaign-style video", rallying a crowd on the significance of enjoying their youth. On December 29,
Pledis Entertainment announced that promotions for the single album would be paused in respect for the victims of
Jeju Air Flight 2216. Promotions resumed on January 5, 2025, following a national week of mourning in South Korea. The full tracklist was revealed on January 6; the songs were written by all three members of BSS, alongside Seventeen bandmate
Woozi and regular collaborator
Bumzu. A teaser for the lead single's music video was released the following day, featuring the members handing out denim jeans to students in a classroom, with a cameo appearance from singer and actress
Uhm Jung-hwa. The album and lead single "CBZ (Prime Time)", alongside the latter's accompanying music video, were released on January 8. == Music ==
