Cherry Bullet is breaking away from its bubbly and girly image.



Built on a new energetic concept, the girl group's first digital single "Hands Up" marks its comeback after a nine-month hiatus.



Belonging to FNC Entertainment together with AOA, Cherry Bullet is now active with seven members, minus Mirae, Kokoro and Linlin, who left last December.



They have diligently polished dance moves to live up to the group's name _ cherry for softness and bullet for power.



"Our cherry concept is about being lovely and was used for our first two albums last year. We have taken on the power concept of 'bullet,' for the new and first digital single," member Haeyoon said during a showcase, Tuesday, at Yes 24 Live Hall in eastern Seoul.



"Hands Up" contains an addictive hip-hop style melody line, sampled from one of Beethoven's most popular compositions, "Fur Elise." AOA's Jimin also participated in lyric writing and directing the rap part.
