On March 11, Berry Good launched a crowdfunding campaign to produce their first EP on Makestar. The ₩10-million goal was reached in ten days and the campaign ultimately raised ₩16,084,438, 160.8% of its original goal. On April 20, the crowdfunded mini-album Very Berry, led by title track "Angel", was released.

Their following release was crowdfunded on Makestar as well. The project started on September 1 as a new single, but it was later upgraded to a mini album, and ended raising ₩26,896,790, 268.97% of its original 10-million goal. The group also added a sixth member, Johyun. Three out of four songs from the EP, including the lead track "Don't Believe", were showcased on Arirang Radio's K-poppin' one day before their release. The official music video for "Don't Believe", and the group's second mini album Glory, were released on November 1.

Image and musical style

Berry Good started their career with dance tracks, before releasing their first ballad "My First Love" in September 2015. It was described as a "melancholy piece that portrays a first love different from the usual heart-fluttering experiences that similar themed songs tend to champion." To promote "Don't Believe" in November 2016, Berry Good underwent a change of styling and concept to take off the original girlish, neat and pure image, adding EDM and tropical pop elements to their music.
