The title of the lead track for boy band Ateez’s upcoming album is “Guerrilla.”

The band released the information about the lead track's title on its official social media platforms Thursday along with a poster for its new album “The World Ep.1 : Movement.”

On the poster, the members pose in a cyber-punk style, mixing and matching a variety of items such as biker gloves and bandanas in a basement bunker.

“Guerrilla” is said to express Ateez’s dream for change under a strictly regulated society where one cannot feel emotions such as love, sadness or joy, according to its agency KQ Entertainment.

The rest of the album’s tracks were revealed on the same day. A total of seven songs — “Guerrilla,” “Propaganda,” “Sector 1,” “Cyberpunk,” “The Ring,” “WDIG (Where Do I Go)” and “New World” will be included on the album.

Members Hongjoong and Mingi are said to have taken part in writing the lyrics for all of the songs except for “Guerrilla.”

“The World Ep.1 : Movement” will be released on music streaming sites on July 29.

Ateez debuted in 2018 and has eight members: Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung and Jongho. It is known for hits “Wave” (2019), "Wonderland" (2019), “Déjà vu” (2021) and “The Real” (2021).
