On October 7, 2024, it was reported that Kep1er will be releasing a new album on November 1 later that year, their first release since Mashiro and Yeseo's departure. This was confirmed three days later, when WakeOne announced Kep1er's sixth EP Tipi-tap. The album's track listing was released on October 15, with the single of the same name announced as the album's lead single. On October 21, a trailer film for the album, titled New Connection, was released. Tipi-tap was released on November 1, along with the music video for its lead single of the same name.
