Gen-Z’s K-pop ‘it’ band TOMORROW X TOGETHER (SOOBIN, YEONJUN, BEOMGYU, TAEHYUN, HUENINGKAI) revealed an illustrated tracklist poster for their upcoming fifth EP, ‘THE NAME CHAPTER: TEMPTATION’. The new EP consists of five tracks such as lead single “Sugar Rush Ride”, “Devil By The Window”, “Happy Fools (feat. Coi Leray)”, “Tinnitus (Wanna be a rock)” and “Farewell, Neverland”.
‘THE NAME CHAPTER: TEMPTATION’ depicts youth on the brink of adulthood. The newest EP is yet again a conceptual album which tells a cohesive story through its individual tracks. ‘THE NAME CHAPTER: TEMPTATION’ represents a generational narrative of journeying forward despite challenges of the world throughout.
The lead single “Sugar Rush Ride” tells the story of a boy who falls to the sweet temptations of a devil. The temptations of the devil are compared to a sugar rush which sweeps in sweet but is ephemeral in nature. An exclusive preview of the song has been uploaded to TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s official TikTok. In the video, the five members gesture along to the lyrics, “Gimme gimme more, Gimme gimme more.”
The new tracklist poster also reveals all five members as creative collaborators for B-side, “Happy Fools (feat. Coi Leray)” song. TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s YEONJUN has taken over as topliner, while the other five members have made contributions as lyricists taking inspiration from their personal experiences. “Tinnitus (Wanna Be A Rock)” credited YEONJUN and TAEHYUN, and “Farewell, Neverland” credited YEONJUN as lyricists.
Notably, TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s EP features collaborations between Gen-Z artists. The lead single “Sugar Rush Ride” sees the return of pop artist Salem Ilese who has previously worked with the band on “Anti-Romantic” and “PS5”. B-side’s “Happy Fools (feat. Coi Leray)” credited rapper and singer Coi Leray as both featuring artist and lyricist.
TOMORROW X TOGETHER will reveal a preview video for the album ‘THE NAME CHAPTER: TEMPTATION’ on January 23, 2023.
