D.O. announces fourth mini album 'DOPAMINE', out September 8
D.O. drops the tracklist for 'DOPAMINE', a 5-track mini album arriving September 8 — his first album release since 'BLISS' in July 2025.
D.O.'s fourth mini album lands September 8
D.O. (도경수) is releasing his fourth mini album DOPAMINE on September 8. He posted two tracklist images to his official SNS channels at midnight on September 2.
Five tracks make up the album:
- "Sing It Loud"
- "Dancing Party"
- "Guitarist" (title track)
- "Don't You"
- "Dear"
'Guitarist' brings back PENOMECO
The title track "Guitarist" rests on R&B and Soul. Restrained rhythm, guitar sound, D.O.'s vocals. PENOMECO, who previously co-wrote "Fit" and "DUMB" with D.O., returns as a lyricist.
The album spans R&B, acoustic, and disco. It frames what the release describes as excitement building over ordinary daily life, love seeping into the heart, and the subtle pleasure that comes with it.
A year between releases
DOPAMINE arrives one year after the digital single "DUMB" (September 2025) and one year and two months after his first full-length album BLISS (July 2025). Two gaps, one comeback — D.O. is clearly pacing himself.
The album expresses a bolder emotional stance toward love across its genre range, with D.O.'s voice as the through-line holding the narrative together.
