The group posted more teaser photos on February 26, the official track listing on February 27, daily teaser trailers featuring each member from February 28 to March 3, a group teaser trailer on March 4, and a "highlight medley" of the EP's seven tracks on March 5.{{Cite web|last=Kim|first=D.|date=February 19, 2018|title=MAMAMOO Drops Group Teaser For Comeback With "Yellow Flower"|url=https://www.soompi.com/article/1127825wpp/mamamoo-unveils-first-teaser-upcoming-comeback|access-date=February 7, 2021|website=Soompi}} The first album in a series of albums titled Four Seasons, Four Colors, Yellow Flower focuses on member Hwasa, represented by the color yellow and spring season, and features her new solo track "Be Calm."{{Cite web|last=Ham|first=Dam-young|date=March 8, 2018|title=Mamamoo gets mellow, returns with yellow spring vibe|url=http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20180308000707|access-date=February 7, 2021|website=The Korea Herald}} The album symbolizes the beginning of a relationship, like how spring starts the year and is associated with innocent love.

The cover art has flowers on it to reference Hwasa, since "화" (hwa) is the Hangul form of the Hanja word "花" (eumhun 꽃 화 kkot hwa), which means "flower".

Yellow Flower was released to physical and digital retailers on March 7, 2018.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=March 7, 2018|title=Yellow Flower by MAMAMOO on Apple Music|url=https://music.apple.com/us/album/yellow-flower/1356504224|access-date=February 7, 2021|website=Apple Music}}
