Myname 2nd Mini Album is the second mini-album by South Korean idol group Myname. It was released on February 12, 2015, by H2 Media and distributed by Kakao M. Following a series of photo and video teasers, the album and its lead single "Too Very So Much" were concurrently released. They promoted the song by performing it on music chart programs across various television networks. Myname 2nd Mini Album peaked at number three South Korea's national Gaon Album Chart, shifting over 4,500 units domestically since its release.
Background and music structure
Myname released Myname 3rd Single Album and its lead single "Day by Day" on October 11, 2013. After concluding domestic promotions, the group's focus shifted to the Japanese music market; it resulted in a gap of one year and four months between the release of their previous single album and Myname 2nd Mini Album. Myname was given several tracks while recording new music, including "Too Very So Much". The song was not intended to be a single and the members had reservations over its unusual title, but they concluded that it was a "fun" song and decided it was the best candidate to serve as a lead single.
Sonically, Myname 2nd Mini Album ranges from electronic music to balladry. With its foundation in hip hop, "Too Very So Much" describes a man incapable of dealing with being in love. The track incorporates a "groovy" drum coupled with a prominent "funky" bassline. "Broken Watch" is a "mournful" ballad.
