FIYM is the first extended play by American pop boy band Forever in Your Mind. It was released on July 1, 2016, through Hollywood Records, and was preceded by its lead single, "Hurricane", and second single "Enough About Me".
Following the band's creation in 2013 from a group of contestants on The X-Factor, Forever in Your Mind released several pop singles, such as "Sweet Little Something", before signing with Hollywood Records in November 2015. As artists signed to a record label of the Disney Music Group, members Liam Attridge, Ricky Garcia, and Emery Kelly cultivated the band's pop music style by recording medleys of tracks from popular Disney Channel movies and covers of contemporary chart-toppers, like Taylor Swift's "Wildest Dreams".
Shortly after announcing that the band would sign onto the record label, Garcia indicated that the band was excited to "officially" make music for its fans. Forever in Your Mind promoted the eponymous debut EP with the release of two singles prior to the release of FIYM itself in July 2016.
FIYM is largely a pop music production, with lyrical and compositional tendencies toward the teen pop subgenre. Just as the debut EP of fellow Hollywood labelmate and Disney Channel actress Olivia Holt featured a diverse range of musical influences from track to track, the four tracks that comprise FIYM draw influences from several genres. Lead single ″Hurricane″ offers a rock-tinged sound, while the chorus of second single ″Enough About Me″ features disco roots. Third single ″Compass″ also provides a unique, folk-esque sound to the EP. AllMusic lists the EP's genre as ″pop/rock″
