Background and release

On March 4, 2015, ''Star News'' reported that Exid was working on a new song, scheduled for release in the second week of April, but it was undecided whether the song would be released as a single or with a mini-album. On April 3, the album's cover art and tracklist were leaked online, prompting Yedang to issue a statement the following day that the company would take legal action if the leak harmed the success of the group's comeback. Exid held a showcase at Noon Square in Myeongdong on April 12, where they performed "Ah Yeah" for the public for the first time. As of October 2015, the album has sold over 18,000 copies in South Korea, and 7,000 copies in Japan.


Composition

The album was composed by Shinsadong Tiger, who has been the group's producer since their debut. Member LE also participated in the album's production, co-writing and composing all the songs on the album. The title track, "Ah Yeah", is a hip-hop style dance song with a repetitive hook. "Pat Pat" is described as an "urban R&B" song and "With Out U" as an "urban dance" song. The album also includes their previous single "Up & Down" as well as a new version of " Every Night." The first single made headlines for its belated chart run — after initial mediocre success, the song started charting three months after its debut. The late success of the single was attributed to a fan-cam video of member Hani performing the song, which went viral across Korean social media networks in late November.
