The EP was originally set to be released on June 8, 2020, but was delayed to June 29, 2020, due to member Youngmin's departure from the group on June 8, 2020. Youngmin's departure resulted in the group having to re-record the songs on the EP without Youngmin's voice.

Commercial performance

Vivid reached 93,000 physical album sales within a week and has broken the group's previous first week of release sales record on the 5th day of the release.[2]
