BOYNEXTDOOR who sang about their thrilling first love for everyone to hear has come back after a clumsy ending, saying that they won’t be able to love again. They have been stumbling about, confused between love and loss. Now they are back with their second mini album HOW? to tell us that love changes as much as “Earth, Wind & Fire” but the moments of first love can be everything in the world. Their music is about the candid love of six boys, and all of us.

BOYNEXTDOOR - “Earth, Wind & Fire”
SUNGHO: “Earth, Wind & Fire” is about telling the person you love that they are the earth, wind and fire. It’s a song that shows you how BOYNEXTDOOR express true love, so I hope a lot of people listen to this song.

RIWOO: If you want to try out a challenge, this is the song for you!

JAEHYUN: The addictive melody and chorus make the title track special. Please listen to the very end because there are a lot of fun details, and the song is well structured.                                   

TAESAN: It’s a danceable track with elements of hyper pop. The BPM is high, so I’m sure you’ll get pumped listening to this song.

LEEHAN: Listen to this song once, and you won’t be able to forget. Listen for the new charms of the title track “Earth, Wind & Fire” off the album HOW? 

WOONHAK: We have come back with a vengeance with our lead single. The fun bouncy beat and choreography, the kitschy and natural visuals... I think you’ll like every single feature of the song. Make sure you listen to it!

BOYNEXTDOOR - “So let’s go see the stars”
SUNGHO: The lyrics to this synth pop/ rock ballad song talk about asking a person you love to go see the stars together. It’s a great expression of BOYNEXTDOOR’s brand of romance.

RIWOO: I have a special place in my heart for this song because the dance moves that I choreographed help to emphasize the mood and charm of the song.

JAEHYUN: Listen to this song while you’re on a late night stroll, and many things will come to your mind.

TAESAN: You can really feel the vibe of the song if you listen to it while picturing the scenes of the song in your mind.

LEEHAN: It’s the perfect driving song.

WOONHAK: You’ll be able to enjoy the feeling of freedom with us if you listen to this song late at night while you’re taking a walk. I picture the LA landscape at night. You have to give it a listen!

BOYNEXTDOOR - “Dear. My Darling”
SUNGHO: This song hints at the start of WHY... After HOW? comes to a close. It has a different color and flavor, which makes it even more charming.

RIWOO: The heart-breaking lyrics written in letter form makes you both sad and happy. I feel at one with the music when I sing this song because I can wholly focus on the lyrics and melody.

JAEHYUN: I think a lot of people will be able to relate to this song because it is written in letter form.

TAESAN: It’s an old pop about calmly breaking up with your significant other.

LEEHAN: Listen to it before you go to sleep. :)

WOONHAK: It’s a song that’s full of love and sorrow. It’s a song that portrays the emotions of someone who is feeling something between sad and calm. The letter-like lyrics are interesting too, so please give it a listen!

Kimfeelsun - “Mama”
SUNGHO: I feel like the lyrics are about a robot that longs for a heart, and it makes me think . I keep coming back to this song because the lyrics and voice that sings of these deep emotions draw me in.

TAEYANG - “Seed”
RIWOO: The lyrics and melody feel very vintage and trendy. It’s a song that has the perfect buildup and resolution.

MINO - “Lost in a crowd”
JAEHYUN: When I listen to MINO’s song I get completely engulfed in it because the emotions run you over.

ONE OK ROCK - “Wherever You Are”
TAESAN: The algorithms brought this song to me, and I love it.

Keyshia Cole - “Love”
LEEHAN: You can listen to this song anytime, anywhere! :)

BTS - “I NEED U”
WOONHAK: This song feels like youth. When I get run down, I listen to The Most Beautiful Moment in Life pt.1, and I’m reminded that I’m still young, and I feel better.
