The group ZEROBASEONE has reached its most iconic moment.
ZEROBASEONE released the complete audio of its first studio album 'NEVER SAY NEVER' along with the music video for the title track 'ICONIK' on various music sites at 6 p.m. on the 1st.
Formed through Mnet's 'Boys Planet', ZEROBASEONE debuted on July 10, 2023, achieving notable success in a short time and positioning itself as a leading boy group of the fifth generation. This regular album is a work that commemorates the iconic moments of 'TEAM ZEROBASEONE', finalized through the 'youth trilogy' and 'paradise duology.'
Through this album, ZEROBASEONE embodies the keyword 'mature power refreshing' in their unique style, showcasing a deeper musical spectrum in both vocals and performances.
In particular, the album title 'NEVER SAY NEVER' contains the message that 'one can dream of something special even in ordinary reality.' The belief that nothing is impossible if one does not give up, along with the ambitious aspiration for ZEROBASEONE to stand as an iconic brand, permeates throughout the album.
The title track 'ICONIK' is a pop track based on new disco sound that emits a strong presence that one cannot take their eyes off for a single moment. The refined groove layered with the tight rhythm elevates the nine members' vocals to a climax.
"Boom On top of the moon / No gravity stopping us / Follow along This ICONIK electronic / Groove even rougher Move / For anything dangerous / Jump in Touch down"
The message that 'we can become iconic on our own regardless of others' evaluations' embodies the confidence that ZEROBASEONE is to become iconic itself, going beyond just being a representative icon of a generation.
The music video released alongside captures the members shedding their past shells and taking a new leap. Energetic choreography and sensory direction blend together to visually enhance the song's message, simultaneously evoking a sense of hope and challenge for viewers.
ZEROBASEONE's first regular album 'NEVER SAY NEVER' is also a blueprint for the future that ZEROBASEONE will show. Having rapidly grown with their fandom over the past two years, the album encapsulates the narrative they have built, leading to attention on what new records the group will set on the global stage starting from this activity.
