DESIRE : UNLEASHENHYPEN's sixth mini album, released on 5 June 2025 with eight tracks led by 'Bad Desire (With or Without You)'.
DESIRE : UNLEASH is ENHYPEN’s sixth mini album, released on 5 June 2025 with eight tracks. The title track is ‘Bad Desire (With or Without You)’. Six new songs sit beside the English version of the title track and the single ‘Loose’, released that April, with its Korean version.
BELIFT LAB’s album introduction on Bugs says that where the second full album ROMANCE : UNTOLD and its repackage told of devoted love between “you” and “I”, this record lets out the desire latent in a love grown deeper. The “I” of the album wants to make “you” a vampire too, and holds that wish back for fear of hurting “you”. The same text says the six songs work this desire out across different genres.
The album introduction presents the title track ‘Bad Desire (With or Without You)’ as dance pop. Paradoxical lines such as “heaven without you is hell” and “hell with you in my arms is heaven” carry the wish to stay together even past what is forbidden, it says. Cirkut, “hitman” bang, Slow Rabbit and ARMADILLO produced it. Cirkut worked with ENHYPEN again after ‘Bite Me’ on DARK BLOOD and ‘Brought The Heat Back’ on ROMANCE : UNTOLD. The label named as the mark of the song’s performance a move that draws fire with the hands on the chorus line “this beautiful fire that burns me”.
The track the album introduction singles out is the fifth, ‘Helium’. It is a pop-rock song on which the member Jay took part in the production, the lyrics and the guitar playing, and it likens the air that “I”, in love, breathes to helium, lighter than air. The same text notes the long-standing love of rock and guitar playing that Jay brought to it.
The third track, ‘Outside’, is hip-hop trap. The label says its chorus is built on a sample of Three 6 Mafia’s ‘Stay Fly’. The opener ‘Flashover’ is electronic future bass, its title naming the moment longing spreads into an uncontrollable blaze. ‘Loose’ is mid-tempo pop led by falsetto, and ‘Too Close’ is pop led by a piano riff.
In its release week, week 23 of 2025 (1 to 7 June), the record topped Circle Chart’s album chart, while ‘Bad Desire (With or Without You)’ placed 79th on the digital chart. Billboard’s chart dated 21 June 2025 had the EP third on the Billboard 200 and first on World Albums; the title song sat at 68 on the Global 200 and at 40 on the Global Excl. U.S. that week. Its Billboard 200 week came to 100,000 units, Herald Business noted on 31 August 2026.
Two outlets counted its sales in August 2026. For TenAsia, writing on the 27th, it was one of four earlier ENHYPEN double-million sellers, alongside ORANGE BLOOD, ROMANCE : UNTOLD and THE SIN : VANISH. Soompi had already named it, on the 26th, as one of three earlier ENHYPEN records past two million copies within a week of release.
THE SIN : VANISH followed seven months on, in January 2026, and began THE SIN series. Where the sales run went next is covered in the piece on THE SIN : BLISS and its first week; the group’s climb on the Billboard 200 is traced in the story on its first number one there.
