It’s only just the beginning! Everyone, get nervous~” but it was later reported that the preview is for the carrier single, "Neverland" which is scheduled to be released on September 1, 2011.[6] On August 25, 2011, an album teaser was released on U-KISS' official YouTube Channel, while the full-track for Someday was revealed on August 26, 2011 at exactly 12AM KST on M-Net.[2][7] Before the release of the said song, a preview was shown on U-KISS official website, however it crashed due to some technical problems.[8]
