Background and composition
On October 30, 2024, G-Dragon unveiled a promotional clip featuring "Power" as background music, and previewed the full song during a livestream on Instagram. During the broadcast of You Quiz on the Block that was aired the same day, G-Dragon commented, "'Power' is a song about strength. For me, strength is 'music.' During my seven-year hiatus, I realized the incredible influence of media as a third-party observer. This song satirizes the power of media and conveys a desire to blend various forms of strength harmoniously." The song was released under a partnership with his agency Galaxy Corporation, and Empire Distribution the following day.
Music video and promotion
On October 8, it was reported that G-Dragon had begun filming the music video for his upcoming single. The video features a continuous, single-take shot of G-Dragon moving through different sets, such as a television station, a construction site, a newsroom, and a subway train.
