Background and release

On August 25, 2015, Woollim Entertainment announced Lovelyz would return with eight members, Jisoo rejoining the group, through a teaser image that included the "Lovelyz8" album logo.[2] The album was preceded with the release of its first single, "Shooting Star" on September 14 and the release of its music video on the same day. A preview of the album was released on September 28.[3] A music video for the title track "Ah-Choo" was released on October 1 together with the digital album. Physical sales of the album began on October 2. The group appeared on a live-streaming broadcast through the Naver V Live app called "Lovelyz Surprise Party." Promotions also began that day for "Ah-Choo" on Mnet's M! Countdown, followed by performances on 'KBS' Music Bank on October 2 and 'SBS' Inkigayo on October 4. That first week of promotion also included additional stages for either a shortened version of "How to be a Pretty Girl" or "Shooting Star."[4]
