"We released our 4th EP, 'Our Summer of That Year,' offline last summer, and this time we are holding another showcase and releasing a new song in the summer again. 

Since it’s our second summer, it seems we've gained some know-how about summer music. We have prepared the new song with a concept that suits the summer,” they said. “As we have prepared for a long time, we will show a more mature side of us.”

"Sweetie but Saltie" is Cignature’s first new album in 10 months. The album, which contains four tracks, explores the sweet and salty aspects of love and worries. 

Cignature has expressed the thrilling and exciting elements of love with their unique bright and lively musical style.

The title track, "Poongdung," is a song that transparently and directly expresses the determination to fall in love without hesitation. The song features a refreshing and vintage sound with a summer vibe, funky and groovy rhythms, and vocal chops. It was produced by Ryan Jhun, a hit producer in K-pop, enhancing its quality.

The music video for "Poongdung," which will be released simultaneously with the album, was filmed in Lisbon, Portugal, showcasing Cignature’s new charm. 

In addition to the title track, the EP includes "I like I like," which expresses the feelings of falling in love in both Korean and English versions, and "Melody," a medium-tempo song that sincerely conveys their thoughts and resolutions about music. The Korean version of "I like I like" has a cute feel, while the English version captures the natural chemistry between friends, offering different points of enjoyment for domestic and international listeners.

At the media showcase, the members introduced the tracks on the fifth EP. 

They described "I like I like" as "a song that expresses the feelings of falling in love, available in both Korean and English versions. The addictive melody will stick in your ears." Regarding the title track "Poongdung," they said, "It's a song about diving headfirst into love. As you listen, you will fall in love with us. It’s a refreshing summer song with a signature choreography that mimics diving."

Regarding the music video for "Smooth Sailing" filmed in Lisbon, they shared, "When we traveled to Portugal, we had a layover in Dubai during a record-breaking rainstorm. All our and the staff’s luggage was lost. We received news that our luggage was found just as we were about to return."
