Hybe Corporation, parent company of Big Hit Music, first revealed plans for Tomorrow X Together to release an EP in January 2023 at a corporate briefing on November 9, 2022. The band's new album series, The Name Chapter, was teased first during their performance at the 2022 Melon Music Awards on November 26 and again in a concept trailer uploaded to their official YouTube channel on December 3.

The Name Chapter: Temptation has five tracks and includes a guest appearance by American rapper Coi Leray on the third, "Happy Fools". The EP was characterized as Tomorrow X Together's return to their "tried-and-true", "whimsical" themes and intricate storytelling, although this time from a more mature lens and inspired by the story of Peter Pan. The all-English opening track "Devil by the Window" features bass-heavy rhythms. Lead single "Sugar Rush Ride" follows, a "saccharine dance pop" song with "funky guitar riffs" and whistles. The next track, "Happy Fools", draws from bossa nova and R&B; all five members of the group contributed to the lyrics. "Tinnitus (Wanna Be a Rock)" is Tomorrow X Together's foray into Afrobeats, while the closing track "Farewell, Neverland" is a ballad with Latin influences. == Commercial performance ==
