Thai K-pop idol BamBam has made his first full-length album debut with "Sour & Sweet," coupled with a music video for the lead single of the same name.

The album features eight tracks, seven of which were written by the GOT7 member: “Feather,” “Take It Easy,” “Ghost,” “Sour & Sweet,” “about YOU,” “Tippy Toe” and “Wings.” He also helped compose or arrange “Take It Easy,” “Ghost,” “Sour & Sweet,” “Tippy Toe” “Wings” and “about YOU.”

In a press conference for the album, the singer shared that "Sour & Sweet" encapsulates his journey since arriving in South Korea as a trainee.

"It conveys the emotions that I'd felt when I first came to Korea. I still remember the feelings I got when I arrived at Incheon International Airport. I didn't know anything and felt like a small feather. 'Feather' is the start to my story," he said.

While “Feathers” represents his beginning, BamBam noted “Wings” represents the culmination of his journey: "'Wings' portrays the latest version of me. The album shows I've grown into wings from a feather. Although I'm not a huge star, I've achieved many dreams and have more to aspire for, now with my fans as my wings."

BamBam's first solo comeback in over a year follows the release of his sophomore mini-album "B" last January.

In April 2022, BamBam partnered with the Golden State Warriors Entertainment division and released the single “Wheels Up.” He joined his GOT7 bandmates last May for their first comeback since leaving their longtime agency JYP Entertainment in early 2021, a self-titled mini-album led by the single "NANANA."
