[TTYL] (acronym for Talk To You Later) is the third mini album by Loossemble. It was released on September 2, 2024, at 6PM KST.
The physical album comes in eight versions: Love, Rizz, Fantasy, and five individual EVER MUSIC versions.
This album is the final work released by Loossemble prior to their contract termination with CTDENM.
Description
“We have endless love for you. (We feel endless love for you)”
Different emotions and diverse relationships among countless people. Everyone we meet is full of different emotions and thoughts. Are they scary or interesting?
Loossemble, which is moving forward without hesitation, wants to show a more grown-up appearance by accepting the “differences” between me and others.[1]
“We have endless love for you. (우리는 너에게 무한한 사랑을 느껴)”
수많은 사람들 속에 색다른 감정들과 다양한 인연들. 우리가 만나는 모든 사람들은 각기 다른 감정들과 생각들로 가득하다. 그것들은 두려울까? 아니면 흥미로울까?
앞으로 거침없이 나아가고 있는 Loossemble은 나와 ‘다름’들을 받아들이며 더 성장한 모습을 보여주고자 한다.[2]

When the album contents previews were released, fans noticed that the stickers contained all of the upcoming tracks’ titles. However, when the tracklist was released, one of the songs, “Name & Number”, was replaced with “FANATICISM”. The order of the tracks was different too.
Jae Stephens, the song’s writer, said that “Secret Diary” was initially called “Name & Number”,[3] which made some C.Loos speculate “Name & Number” was going to be a hidden English track on the album.
- “TTYL” Title
- “Confessions”
- “Secret Diary”
- “Hocus Pocus”
- “Name & Number”

Background and Release
At a fansign in June 2024, when an Orbit asked HyeJu when we could see her again, she asked them when they should make a comeback. The Orbit answered that it would be good for winter and HyeJu responded, “What about autumn? How about autumn?”, hinting Loossemble would come back before it gets cold.[4][5]
On August 10, Loossemble changed profile pictures and headers on their social media accounts to ones featuring a new logo.[6][7] On August 11, a video titled “📞” was uploaded to Loossemble’s YouTube channel. Later that day, another video, “📞ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕊𝕠𝕠𝕟📞” was released.
