SEOUL, May 14 (Yonhap) -- K-pop boy group SEVENTEEN will include solo tracks by all 13 members in their upcoming full-length album, their agency Pledis Entertainment said Wednesday.
The group's fifth studio album HAPPY BURSTDAY is set to drop on May 26 and will include a total of 16 tracks—three group songs and 13 solo tracks, one for each member—the most original tracks featured in a single SEVENTEEN album to date.
The title track Thunder metaphorically depicts the group’s expansion of their musical universe using imagery of lightning and thunder. The group song Bad Influence was written, composed, and produced by global pop icon Pharrell Williams.

The album coincides with the group’s 10th debut anniversary. From May 23 to 25, SEVENTEEN will hold large-scale events at Banpo Hangang Park in Seoul, culminating in the BURST Stage concert on May 25 at Jamsu Bridge.
