Fame is the second single album by South Korean boy group Riize. It was released by SM Entertainment on November 24, 2025, and contains three tracks, including the lead single with the same name.
In August 2025, SM Entertainment announced in its roadmap that Riize would make their comeback in the fourth quarter of 2025 with a single album. On November 5, 2025, it was announced that Riize would release their second single album titled Fame on November 25. The album trailer video, alongside promotional dates, was also released on the same day. The tracklist poster was released on November 10.
Each teaser images were released on November 13, November 17, and November 18. A short behind-the-scenes video for the song "Fame" was released on November 21, followed by a teaser video the next day. The single album was released alongside the music video for "Fame" on November 24.
The first track, "Something in the Water", is a dreamy R&B-pop track characterised by a subdued, resonant bass line. The lyrics reflect on confronting anxiety and recognising it as an intrinsic part of oneself in the process of personal growth. The second track, titled "Fame", is a hip-hop song in the style of Rage. The forward-driving rhythmic structure, combined with the raw timbre of the electric guitar, creates an energetic and dynamic sound. The last song, "Sticky Like" is a pop-rock influenced dance track characterised by its emotional and forceful tone. The song features prominent drum, guitar, and piano arrangements that enhance its overall impact.
Prior to the release of Fame, on November 25, 2025, Riize held a showcase event titled "Riize the 2nd Single 'Fame' Premiere" at Yes24 Live Hall. The event was broadcast live on YouTube, TikTok, and Weverse, aimed at introducing the album and connecting with their fanbase.
To promote the single, Riize was scheduled to appear on several radio programs, including SBS Power FM's DinDin's Music High on the 25th, KBS Cool FM's Park Myung-soo's Radio Show on the 26th, and MBC FM4U's Kim Shin Young's Noon Song of Hope on the 27th.
