Background
[edit]The album's lead single, "Dr Feel Good," was composed, written, and produced by Teddy Riley, who originally made the song for Lady Gaga.[1]
Promotion
[edit]Rania promoted their debut with showcases in Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore, the Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Laos, and Vietnam.[2] Member Yijo was absent in promotions due to visa issues.
Critical reception
[edit]Rania's debut was met with mixed reviews in Korea, as many viewers found the group's image too provocative.[3] As a result, Rania were forced to change their choreography and make minor changes to the outfits.[4] Riley himself announced he would disassociate himself with the group as he believed that the group and comeback were attempts to use him for his name and status.[5] Despite this, singles "Dr. Feel Good" and "Masquerade both charted at 99 and 192 on the GAON chart respectively.[6][7]
