Background and release

In January 2018, it was revealed that Day6 would make their Japanese debut with the release of the single "If -Mata Aetara-" on March 14.[1] They released their second Japanese single album Stop the Rain, produced by Shinichi Ubukata, on July 25.[2] Breaking Down, the title track of the album, was released along with a music video in September (one month prior the release of the album) as a promotional track.

Members Sungjin, Jae, Young K and Wonpil participated in the writing of the lyrics and all members, including Dowoon, participated in producing the tracks. The album only includes original songs as it does not feature Japanese versions of Day6's songs.
