On February 3, GFriend released their eighth EP:Labyrinth, with the lead single "Crossroads".This marked the group's first Korean comeback after the acquisition of Source Music by Big Hit Entertainment in 2019. The music video for this song is referring to the group's previous music videos. No choreography is included which highlights the storyline of the single. "Crossroads" is a sentimental song that shares similarities with their previous single "Time for the Moon Night".
