Each individual member released a single album up until the group's official debut. A new member was introduced each month. Prior to debuting, the members also promoted in sub-units, each with their own defined concept.
On August 7, 2018, after an eighteen-month-long project to introduce the individual members, BlockBerryCreative released "favOriTe" as a pre-release to their upcoming debut album. A week later, on August 15, the tracklist for the album was released and the album was scheduled for August 20. The album was released as [+ +] and the title track chosen for the mini was "Hi High". The mini was positively received, selling over 50,000 copies, the second-best-selling album by a debuting girl group that year, and debuting at #2 on the Gaon Album Chart.
On the 25th of November, 2022, member Chuu was removed.
On the 13th of January, 2023, members Jinsoul, Kim Lip, Heejin and Choerry won a lawsuit against their agency BlockBerry Creative to terminate their exclusive contract.
On the 10th of May, 2023 members Vivi and Hyunjin have also won a lawsuit against their agency BlockBerry Creative to terminate their contract.
On the 16th of June, 2023, members Haseul, Yeojin, Yves, Go Won and Hyeju (formerly known as Olivia Hye) won their cases for contract termination. All 12 members have officially left BlockBerry Creative.

Eyy 멈춰줄래 windy
You know you know
You know you know
Hey 원래 그런 거야
High 오를수록 숨차
You know you know
하나도 겁낼 필요 없는데
나랑 높이 위로 붕붕
하늘 높이 위로 붕붕
우리에겐 시간이 좀 모자라
나랑 높이 위로 붕붕
하늘 높이 위로 붕붕
오늘 딱 하루 너를 초대할게
내일 내 맘이 전부 변하기 전에
무겁게 안고 있는 걱정들은
여기 두고 가
이제 발이 떠 tonight
더 높이 붕붕 뜰래 위로
더 높이 붕붕 뜰래 위로
Hey 더 멀리 가도 좋아
Right 알 수 없는 비행
콜록콜록
You know you know
Try 손을 잡는 구름
Time 어느샌가 훌쩍
You know you know
You know you know
오늘 딱 하루 너를 초대할게
내일 내 맘이 전부 변하기 전에
무겁게 안고 있는 걱정들은
여기 두고 가
이제 발이 떠 tonight
Hey
더 높이 붕붕 뜰래 위로
더 높이 붕붕 뜰래 위로
Ah 눈으로 보아도 너는 믿을 수가 없지
Ah 지금 기분을 다 다 다 알아
Ah 끝난 게 아니야
알 수 없는 우리 비행
Ah 널 데려가 더 위로
오늘 난 너를 위해 준비했어
아름다운 별 반짝 빛나고 있어
여기서 끝이 아냐 고갤 들고 나를 찾아봐
저기 달이 뜬 tonight
더 날아보자 trust me
더 채워줄게 하늘 위
더 높이 붕붕 뜰래 위로
더 날아보자 trust me
더 채워줄게 하늘 위
더 높이 붕붕 뜰래 위로

The lyrics convey a sense of urgency, emphasizing the importance of seizing the moment and not delaying any longer. The lines "나랑 높이 위로 붕붕, 하늘 높이 위로 붕붕" and "이제 발이 떠 tonight" both suggest that the singer is ready to take off, and that the listener should join them before it's too late. The song's bridge provides a reassuring message that everything will be okay, even if the flight is uncertain and unpredictable.
