After the trio released a song for the drama Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo titled "너를 위해 (For You)", fans began to speculate that they would form EXO's first sub-unit. SM Entertainment confirmed this on October 5, 2016.
Their first album Hey Mama! was released on iTunes and other music service sites on October 31, 2016. The group made their debut performance of the title track "Hey Mama!" on M! Countdown a month later on November 3. Hey Mama! topped the Billboard World Albums chart and South Korean's Gaon album chart. Later in November, EXO-CBX recorded a remake of the original soundtrack "Crush U" for the game Blade & Soul.
On March 10, 2017, it was revealed that EXO-CBX would make their debut in Japan in May. On April 1, the group was announced to be releasing their debut Japanese extended play Girls on May 24, 2017. The extended play's title track was "Ka-CHING!".
The trio released Blooming Days - The 2nd Mini Album on April 10, 2018 which consists of 7 tracks. On May 9, they released their second Japanese album, MAGIC with the title track Horololo.
On April 10, 2019, EXO-CBX released a single, Paper Cuts.
On June 1, 2023, the trio delivered an official statement that they had terminated their exclusive contract with SM Entertainment after filing a lawsuit against SM for alleged slave contract and unfair payment. According to their lawyer’s statement, it all started when EXO CBX members requested transparency of their payment to SM Entertainment. Although it is the domain and basic right of all artists to demand a clear and transparent report of their fees from their company, SM refused to give them the detailed report, stating they couldn’t give them copies of their contracts. The members had been forced to sign a 10-year long-term contract with SM through a special extension; and SM also pushed for additional agreements that resulted in a total of 17—18 years of an exclusive contract, which is a clear violation of South Korean laws.

토요일 아침
들뜬 맘 벌써 날 깨우고 (깨우고)
안절부절해
한참이나 남은 시간들이 미워져 yeah
골목길의 그림자
조금 더 길어지면 좋아 이제 곧
널 데리러 갈 수 있어요 oh
처음엔 아이처럼 만났죠
오늘 우린 어른처럼 baby
시작해요 playdate
You and I, you and I, you and I
설레나요 그대도
행복만 주고 싶어 둘이서
불빛 아래 playdate
You and I, you and I, you and I

처음엔 모든 게 장난처럼 시작해
내 맘은 커져가네 girl, you are just so perfect
봄의 바람 타고 너에게 날아가 yeah, ah woah

The song "Playdate" by EXO-CBX is a joyful and upbeat track that describes the excitement of spending time with someone special. The song opens with the singer waking up on a Saturday morning, eager to spend the day with his lover. He is impatient to see her, as he finds himself getting more restless as the time passes. It is evident that he is deeply infatuated with her as she gives him a sense of purpose and happiness, and he seeks to make her feel the same way.
The chorus of the song, which repeats the phrase "Playdate," highlights the idea of the singer taking his lover on a date, where they can have fun together and create new memories. The second verse suggests the relationship between the singer and his lover has grown more profound, as they both realize their feelings have changed. While they started as playful, their romance has blossomed into something more significant, and the singer is eager to explore this love further. He describes his profound love for the woman, a love that makes him feel complete, and he commits to continue loving her more every day.
Overall, the song's lyrics are a beautiful expression of love, joy, and romance. The singers' beautiful voices and the fun, playful beat of the music are perfectly intertwined with the lyrics' theme.
