Boy band Astro is set to release a digital single called “U&Iverse,” which is dedicated to its fans, fan community platform Universe said Friday.

The song will drop on July 21.

In a teaser photo Universe posted to its social media channels, the six members of Astro are seen sitting on a rooftop gazing at a starry night sky.

The platform also revealed a schedule of when it will post concept photos and teaser clips.

Although the music video will drop the same day as the song, it will initially only be available to view on the Universe app. The music video will be uploaded to YouTube on July 26.
