In the TOMORROW X TOGETHER universe, the object of the boys’ affection has always had a magical power to help them grow by calling their name. Now they’re stepping up to keep themselves and their beloved together. That’s the story taking place on the group’s fourth studio album, “The Star Chapter: TOGETHER”—calling each other by name, completely vulnerable and open with one another, and tracing their movements like a star in orbit, even when the world’s topsy-turvy and falling apart. And now, the boys open up about their new music and its unique take on what it means to be together, plus other songs they’d like to recommend to MOA.

“Beautiful Strangers” (TOMORROW X TOGETHER)
SOOBIN: This is a hip hop song, but it has a sweet, mellow melody, so it’s got a groove while also being smooth and gentle at the same time. It’s really fun to listen to. It feels even more energetic if you watch us dancing along to it. Make sure to check that out, because the dance break’s a real highlight, both visually and for the music.

YEONJUN: This is such a TOMORROW X TOGETHER song. I really hope you’ll listen to it. The synths are really attention-grabbing and the more you listen, the more you’ll fall in love. The intense dance moves are a perfect complement for the dreamy vibe of the song, so it’s got a lot of impact onstage. I think the dance break’s especially amazing!

BEOMGYU: This is the lead single for our long-awaited new studio album, so I hope you’ll give it lots of love. We spent a really long time working on it and I think both the song and the choreo are top notch as a result. You’ll get more out of it if you watch us performing it. I hope it makes MOA feel something new.

TAEHYUN: If you liked “Deja Vu,” I think you’re really going to like this one. The vibe of this one’s even more engaging and it feels like our dance moves got an upgrade, too. It’s even better if you can see us perform it live because our moves are really high energy.

HUENINGKAI: I feel like the chorus in this wistful song’s so catchy that it’ll stick around a long time in your head! The dance break is seriously amazing, too, so make sure you watch us performing it. The whole way the performance is put together is perfect for the song and really brings out the feeling of the song when you watch it.

“Upside Down Kiss” (TOMORROW X TOGETHER)
YEONJUN: I’m personally really fond of this song because it lets us show a different side of ourselves. It has a completely different feel from all the other music we’ve ever done. I worked hard to focus even more on expressing the emotions with the new vibe, so I think it’ll feel new and fresh for the fans, too. I hope lots of people give it a listen, and feel in a way they’ve never felt before, too.

BEOMGYU: This song’s incredibly catchy and there’s lots of fun parts in the choreo, which I hope people will keep an eye out for. There’s lots of hidden details, like different gestures we do, making it even more amazing the more you’ve seen it, so I hope you’ll watch the performance.

HUENINGKAI: This song’s melody pulls you right in and the whole vibe’s so cute and cuddly that you’ll want to listen again and again. It also highlights what makes each of our vocals unique. It’s a fantastic match for our voices. You’re going to find yourself automatically singing along once you listen.

“Song of the Stars” (TOMORROW X TOGETHER)
SOOBIN: This song means a lot to me since it wraps up a story we’ve been telling progressively for seven years. The lyrics and melody are beautiful and make memories from over the years flash by. It feels like it ties up all the time we’ve spent coming this far. I really want our fans to make sure they hear this one.

TAEHYUN: I think this is a really emotional song, given it marks the end of “The Star Chapter.” I feel completely overwhelmed with emotion and emotionally full when we perform it live. I bet it would be an incredibly meaningful and cathartic experience to sing this together in concert with our fans.

“Ghost Girl” (TOMORROW X TOGETHER)
YEONJUN: This was the first time we ever put a solo song on a TOMORROW X TOGETHER album, so I put a lot of love into writing the lyrics. If you like my vocals, I’m absolutely sure you’ll love this song. I was really taking on a challenge by doing this track, and I really immersed myself in it while working on it. It’s full of emotion, so maybe focus on that while listening to it.

“Sunday Driver” (TOMORROW X TOGETHER)
SOOBIN: This is a great song anywhere, anytime. But it’s a really bright, upbeat song, so it’s particularly perfect right now in the hot summer. The upbeat energy spreads right through the whole thing, making it great for when you’re going somewhere on vacation or just taking a short drive. I hope you can all chill to it and enjoy it!

“Dance With You” (TOMORROW X TOGETHER)
HUENINGKAI: I filled this song with my brand of bright, positive energy. It’s so good, I think it’ll make you excited to see it performed live. With a song this full of energy and this catchy, you’ll definitely want the fun of watching along with a live performance. Please show this song lots of love.

“Take My Half” (TOMORROW X TOGETHER)
BEOMGYU: This is a great song for late night or early morning. I absolutely poured my heart into singing it, so I hope you like it. I think you’ll really get a sense for how serious I was about that if you concentrate on how emotionally in touch the lyrics and overall vibe are. Listening to it in the quiet of night will make it hit even deeper.

“Bird of Night” (TOMORROW X TOGETHER)
TAEHYUN: This is my first ever solo song. My thought is it can bring some comfort to people who can’t fall asleep or are stuck worrying about the next day. It’s a great song to listen to somewhere quiet, all alone. I really do hope it can be a sense of solace to a lot of people. I hope you’ll listen to my song a lot, dipped in the dark night!

“Golden” (Huntrix, EJAE, Audrey Nuna, REI AMI, “KPop Demon Hunters” Cast)
SOOBIN: This song’s off the soundtrack to “KPop Demon Hunters,” which is super popular these days. I actually heard the song first, but I loved it so much that I ended up watching the movie. I’m pretty sure I still listen to it at least once every day. It pulls you in so hard that it can completely change your mood as soon as you listen to it. Hard rec from me, MOA!

“Nichijo” (OFFICIAL HIGE DANDISM)
YEONJUN: I get this feeling every time I listen to this song where it just clears my mind completely, including when I’m feeling down. I think it’s just the perfect song, always. I’ve been listening to it a lot lately, too.

“1 TRILLION” (LEE CHANHYUK)
BEOMGYU: I've been listening to this song a lot lately. It’s great for when you’re hoping for your New Year’s wish to come true. The lyrics are so clever and charming, and it’s got such a vibe that I can’t help but smile when I listen.

“Give Me Love” (Darkoo)
TAEHYUN: I heard this while watching “F1 The Movie” and loved it so much I looked it up right away. I especially like the unique vocals and rhythm. I think it would have a subtle uplifting effect if you listened to it while taking a drive or on a trip somewhere.

“Don’t Say You Love Me” (Jin)
HUENINGKAI: I personally can’t get enough of Jin’s voice. I just had to recommend this song for the way his uniquely delicate vocals work so well in it. The emotions just flow so naturally and listening to it fills you with this warm, fuzzy feeling. I hope you’ll pay special attention to how incredibly good he is at expressing himself through his vocals. It’s absolutely enthralling.
