Do Disturb is the first mini-album by South Korean musician and CNBLUE member Jung Yong-hwa. It was released in July 19, 2017, under FNC Entertainment. Its titled was inspired by a "do not disturb" door hanger. Consisting of dance music tracks and balladry, the record sees a sonic shift from Jung's previous music with his band and as a solo artist.
Following a series of photo and video teasers, Do Disturb and its lead single "That Girl" were concurrently released. The mini-album peaked at number three on South Korea's national Gaon Album Chart.
Jung began crafting the record in March 2017. In midst of a break while on tour, Jung hung a "do not disturb" door hanger in front of his hotel room, inspiring the title of the record.
Recording and mixing for Do Disturb took place in Seoul at the FNC Entertainment Studio; it was mastered at 821 Sound Mastering.
A pop album,Do Disturb compromises various genres in the record, distinguishing itself from Jung's previous work with CNBLUE and his solo work. The first half of the mini-album consists of dance music, with the second half containing "slow-paced emotional" songs. "That Girl" is a dance-pop song with a "funky sound". "Closer" is a light medium tempo song. In the lyrics, the narrator "asks his love to stick by his side". Jung described it as the "sweet" song on the record; the chorus was initially written in English, but was later translated to Korean. "Password" is an "addictive" deep house track. His first attempt at the genre, he described as a "party" song with elements of pop music which fixates around "repetitive" hooks and lyrics.
