And it was announced that Purple Kiss is set to make their debut in early March 2021.[1] After formally introducing the group one by one, On November 26, 2020, the group released their first pre-debut digital single, "My Heart Skip a Beat."Due to a temporary health issue, Swan was unable to participate in the single or its music video.[2] The song was well-received by the Korean press, and it contained choreography designed by the members. Yuki also wrote an original rap portion for the song.[3] "Can We Talk Again," the group's second pre-debut song, was released on February 3, 2021, and included all seven members.
