The group's TOMORROW X TOGETHER comeback title track was "하루에 하루만 더 (Stick With You)".
TOMORROW X TOGETHER (Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, Hueningkai) on the 5th revealed the tracklist for mini album 8 "7TH YEAR: 가시덤불에 잠시 바람이 멈췄을 때" on the team's official SNS. This album includes a total of six tracks, including the title track "하루에 하루만 더 (Stick With You)", "Bed of Thorns", "Take Me to Nirvana (feat. 万Vinida Weng)", "So What", "21st Century Romance", and "다음의 다음".
"하루에 하루만 더 (Stick With You)" is an electro pop song notable for its addictive and powerful chorus melody. It depicts the poignancy of wanting to hold on to a love that seems to be ending. Unlike the partner preparing for a breakup, it sings of feelings that cannot yet let go of the relationship. Deep lingering attachment is a new attempt for TOMORROW X TOGETHER. Moving a step beyond the youthful narratives they have shown so far, it presents a broader range of emotions. The song's poignancy can also be interpreted as their determination toward their dreams.
"7TH YEAR: 가시덤불에 잠시 바람이 멈췄을 때" is the first group album TOMORROW X TOGETHER is releasing after re-signing with their agency, BigHit Music, last year. The new record candidly contains thoughts and feelings felt during the seven years since their debut. The first track, "Bed of Thorns", delivers a message of fully accepting the consequences of one's choices. "Take Me to Nirvana (feat. 万Vinida Weng)" sings of a moment of freedom that feels like setting aside uncertain emotions and feeling liberation with your whole body. Chinese artist Vinida Weng (万, Vinida Weng) participated as a featured artist.
"So What" is a song that frankly yet wittily explores the anxiety, worries and concerns about the future the group felt. Yeonjun contributed to the lyrics and composition, and Taehyun contributed to the lyrics, adding sincerity. "21st Century Romance" is a song that says that even in a 21st century filled with hollow noise, one will listen to the inner signal. Hueningkai helped with the melody work, elevating the delicate emotions. The final track, "다음의 다음", tells that although the future remains uncertain, curiosity and excitement toward tomorrow propel us forward. Soobin is credited as a lyricist.
The five members' sincere stories meet experimental sounds and expand into emotions that anyone can relate to. The universal sentiments addressed by the six songs are expected to deeply resonate with music fans around the world.
TOMORROW X TOGETHER will continue the comeback momentum by releasing an album preview on the 6th and a title track music video teaser on the 11th. The new record will be released at 6 p.m. on the 13th, and on the same day at 8 p.m. they will hold a comeback showcase at Korea University Hwajeong Gymnasium and meet MOA (the fandom name) around the world.
