ONF once again rings out through the world with their signature sound. In part one of their second studio album, ONF: MY IDENTITY, the group sings of defying expectations and finding their own way to achieve their dreams, becoming a beacon of light for those lost in the darkness. From the catchy lead single, “The Stranger”—a rising anthem with powerful vocals passionately pursuing a world of individuality—to an album full of goodies and even some personal recommendations, the ONF members chime in below.

“The Stranger” (ONF)
HYOJIN: This song’s got an unforgettably catchy melody and the perfect choreography to match. It shows off a little more grown, mature side of the group and will lift your spirits. Please show it lots of love.

E-TION: This song’s full of ONF’s positive energy and is perfect for when you want to start your day off in a lively way or get ready for the fray!

SEUNGJUN: This song’s a perfect reflection of who we are. The lyrics and rhythm are oozing positivity, so I recommend giving it a listen when you feel a little lost or jaded.

WYATT: This is the song to listen to when you’re looking for the strength you need to pursue your dreams. It’ll give you the power you need to keep moving forward!

MINKYUN: This song shows a whole new funky side to ONF. It’s extremely catchy, too. You’ll want to play it over and over.

U: I recommend listening to this song when you want to start your day off on a passionate foot! I love the line that goes, “I’m off on a rough path again today.” I hope people pay attention to the chorus, which comes right after that. It feels like it has the power to widen your horizons and bring your solace.

“Night Tale” (ONF)
SEUNGJUN: This rhythm-heavy song has sharp, mature vocals. The vibe is totally different from the single. Highly recommend!

WYATT: I think this song shows a mature, sexy side of ONF.

“Nothing but a stranger (ON Team Ver.)” (ONF)
HYOJIN: This is the first ON Team unit song in a while. We’re good at doing chill tracks, but we’re well suited to this kind of rhythmic R&B ballad, too, so I hope you give it a listen!

E-TION: This is ON Team’s second song. I suggest listening to it to chill out before bed. Let our voices be your lullaby!

MINKYUN: This is probably the best song to listen to before bed. If you focus in on the layers of harmonies in the background, you’ll be more drawn into the song in general.

“Anti Hero (OFF Team Ver.)” (ONF)
SEUNGJUN: Not only could this song suck anybody in, but the choreography is to die for. If you’re into rock or really intense stuff, this is the song for you.

WYATT: Listening to this song feels like reading a superhero comic. I can’t recommend it enough—it’s a great showcase for OFF Team’s robust vocals and style that makes us great.

U: This song screams rock energy. We put a lot of power into our vocals to keep pace with the instruments. And above all else, it gives you a sense of the darkness lurking beneath OFF Team. I hope we get to perform this onstage for you someday!

“Good Place” (ONF)
HYOJIN: This is a house track. The melody’s certainly great, but the underlying sound itself is already amazingly catchy. It feels like just the kind of song to take a short break out of a busy day with.

E-TION: This would be a fantastic song to listen to while taking a drive at sunset. It’s a cozy, supportive song, there to take your days filled with uncertainty and turn them into something beautiful. I can’t recommend it enough.

“Collab” (ONF)
MINKYUN: The ad-libbing in the middle is great. I recommend listening to it when you go on vacation since I think it’s probably even more exciting then.

U: This song’s chill and upbeat at the same time. I hope FUSE will sing along with us if we get to perform it onstage. It’s a great choice because it’s been a long time since we put out such a cheery song. I had a fun time recording the vocals, too.

“Melt Down” (DAY6)
HYOJIN: I always get a good burst of energy when I listen to DAY6. This one will recharge you on those days you need it most. I hope it can make you overflow with energy every day!

“Runnin” (Fat Freddy’s Drop)
E-TION: This is an incredibly long song, but it’s great listening to how laid-back all the instruments are played, and it’s especially good vibes when you’re working or drinking coffee.

“Coming Of Age Story” (Lee Mujin)
SEUNGJUN: I find the unique rhythm of this song and its lyrics about a brighter future to come really touching. It’s become my go-to work song to get things started with a little more oomph!

“Advice” (TAEMIN)
WYATT: You don’t even need to see the dance that goes with this song to get a feel for how full of energy it is. It’s one of those songs that really gets me pumped up when I’m working out.

“Seasonal Crime” feat. Saebit (Miiro)
MINKYUN: You’ll definitely get the main character energy listening to this song. I hope everyone can give it a listen because it’s got such a unique vibe.

“Confident” (Justin Bieber)
U: I’ve been coming back to this song lately. I think the instrumentation is really fun and definitely a highlight. It means a lot to me, too, because I took choreography lessons to it 11 years ago when I was a trainee. Having all those memories makes me want to recommend it all the more!
