The official date of the new song has not been released yet, however, it is reported that it may come between spring and summer.
According to the reports, BTOB will make a potential comeback in the first half of 2024, most probably in March.

Did BTOB disband in 2023?
BTOB didn’t disband but embarked on a new path, splitting into four sub-units- BTOB 4U, BTOB Ballad, OneUs, and Kingdom. The reason for them to take an individual path is to explore diverse musical styles and individual strengths.
