Background
"I Think I" features the vocals of nine active Super Junior members — Leeteuk, Heechul, Yesung, Donghae, Shindong, Eunhyuk, Siwon, Ryeowook, and Kyuhyun. Kyuhyun was discharged from his mandatory military service on May 7, 2019, and did not partake in the band's previous release, One More Time.[3]
Kangin, who had been on hiatus since 2016 announced his decision to depart from the band on July 11.[4] Sungmin continues his indefinite hiatus and voluntarily did not join band activities after last appearing for them for Mamacita album back in 2014.[5] As a result, Super Junior became a ten-member group with nine active members promoting.
During the band's appearance at HallyuPopFest on May 28, Leeteuk announced the band will release a new album in 2019, to celebrate the group's 15th anniversary.[6]
On September 3, Super Junior began releasing teaser images to generate hype for the album's release on October 14.[7] The song was digitally released alongside its music video on October 4, albeit five hours behind schedule due to an alleged production issue.[8][9] On October 30, the song was digitally released in Japanese.[10]
