Destiny is the second single album of South Korean boy band Infinite. It was released on July 16, 2013 in both digital and physical format with the song of the same title "Destiny" as the promotional track.

After their successful promotion in March with their fourth EP New Challenge, it was reported that the group is preparing for a comeback mid-July of the same year.

On May 22, 2013 the members headed over to Universal Studios in California to film their next music video. They had the honor of being the first K-pop group to obtain permission to film where Hollywood movies such as 'Transformers' and 'The Amazing Spiderman' were filmed. Previously, access was restricted to popular stars such as Lady Gaga and Chris Brown. Woollim Entertainment stated that, "They're filming a new MV that's on the scale of Hollywood blockbusters. A total investment of 1,000,000,000 KRW (approximately $890,000 USD) went into this new MV. They'll be filming not just at Universal Studios but also 4-5 other locations across Los Angeles."

On July 1, 2013 Infinite’s official website replaced its Man in Love theme with a new design. The front page had been replaced over by a splash header, featuring a brand-new logo and the words, "Destiny". The redesigned logo retained the signature figure-eight with a new chrome colouring.

With Infinite members signalling a return with darker concept for Destiny, on midnight of July 2, Infinite released the teaser for Destiny, showing a barren and deserted land containing only ruins of aeroplanes and the members of the band, roaming in an apparently abandoned city. A week later, on July 9, Woollim Entertainment updated its website with new photos of the Infinite members, with the members dressed in the new leather outfits for the upcoming promotions..

The following day with the coming release of the single, Infinite unveiled the track list for Destiny on its official site on July 10. The four songs were announced to be 'Destiny, Inception, 너에게 간다 (Going to You) and 엄마 (Mother). The group revealed a short teaser on July 11, taking fans to the set of Universal Studios in Los Angeles, where the group filmed the music video for Destiny. In the promotional video, the staff members praised Infinite and the quality level of the music video to come.

Through a preview video released on July 12, Infinite fans were able to listen to previews of the four tracks included in the new album.

July 16, 2013 marked the release of the album alongside the music video for Destiny. The video was marked ver. B as there is a yet to be officially released "Ver.A". The music video is directed by Hong Won-ki of ZanyBros.
