Zico described 'Eko Eko' as a track that people of all ages and tastes can enjoy. 'It's an honor to participate in an album by M-flo, a group I've been a fan of since I first started music. It's truly admirable that they've reached their 25th anniversary as artists.'
M-flo commented, 'We put in a lot of time and care communicating to create a song where our synergies could shine. Zico and eill's unique vibes blended naturally, resulting in a 'loves' series track that truly feels like m-flo.'
Meanwhile, Zico has been actively involved in various projects this year. In the first half of 2025, he featured on Ash Island's 'It's Okay (Feat. Zico)' and Giriboy's 'My Job is Cool (Feat. Zico, J-Tong).' He also served as the executive producer for rising boy band BoyNextDoor's 4th mini album 'No Genre.' On July 5–6, the singer will hold a solo fan meeting 'Comvenience' at Blue Square Hall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.
