In December, the group unveiled their new official logo, designed in black and white with the Sistar19 group name in it.[9] In an interview with fashion magazine Arena Homme +, Bora mentioned that making the decision to be a part of the duo has brought her a sense of stability. Afterwards, Hyolyn sincerely stated that both of them want to convey the image and message that they have drawn and refined based on their genuine feelings and thoughts to those who have been patiently waiting for the past 11 years.[10]

In January, Sistar19 confirmed their comeback with a teaser image released on the 3rd. The teaser features a real-life silhouette of the duo against a red background, accompanied by the title "No More (Ma Boy)" written at the top.[11] Their comeback single "No More (Ma Boy)" was released on January 16, 2024.
