Finally, seven years in, a moment of stillness has come, the thorny uncertainty and emptiness receding at last. TOMORROW X TOGETHER has come to embrace the choices they’ve made, wearing their heavier emotions on their sleeves, and pushing toward the freedom and hope waiting on the other side of the thorns. The group’s eighth mini album, “7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns,” shows where TOMORROW X TOGETHER stands today, still working their way toward tomorrow despite the uncertainty. Check out the playlist below for their insights into their new music, plus some other songs they want to recommend to MOA.

“Stick With You” (TOMORROW X TOGETHER)
SOOBIN: “Stick With You” is about desperately clinging to a love you can feel slipping away. We wanted to sing about this kind of familiar, kind of pathetic love story to show a more mature side of the group.

YEONJUN: The longing running through this song reminds me of how serious we are about making our dreams come true. It’s the lead single from an album we made with a lot on our minds, being seven years in and renewing our contracts. We love all our songs, but this one feels particularly special.

BEOMGYU: I’m so grateful we get to return to our fans with a new album seven years in. We used to tell stories about boys growing up, and now, here we are, with a heartbreaking love song. The melody’s gorgeous and the lyrics are really sad and moving, so give it a good listen!

TAEHYUN: The song itself is great, but the music video tells a whole story like a full movie. It’s the kind of song that delights your eyes and your ears at the same time. Hope you like it.

HUENINGKAI: This is an electropop song with a hook that’s as catchy as it is punchy. I hope you’ll watch the choreography too so you can see how our singing and dancing really come together.

“Bed of Thorns” (TOMORROW X TOGETHER)
HUENINGKAI: The poetic lyrics and the electronic sound really complement each other on this one. Even while recording the vocals, I kept thinking how fresh the words felt. Hope you all love it.

“Take Me to Nirvana” feat. Vinida Weng (TOMORROW X TOGETHER)
BEOMGYU: This is our first time collaborating with a Chinese artist. Having her feature layered over our vocals really gave the track a personality all its own, and the groove is seriously addictive. Give it a listen!

“So What” (TOMORROW X TOGETHER)
TAEHYUN: It’s great how direct the lyrics are. YEONJUN and I actually worked on them together. The beat’s unique and hits hard, and the way we sing the chorus has this loose, free feeling to it that makes it really fun to listen to.

“Forest” (Choi Yu Ree)
SOOBIN: I covered this one before, so it holds a special place in my heart. I want to recommend it because it’s the kind of calming song that’s good to start every day with.

“Stand By You” (Official HIGE DANdism)
YEONJUN: The lyrics are just so good. This song fills me with hope.

“Fighting” feat. Lee Young Ji (BSS)
BEOMGYU: No matter how packed my schedule gets, this song automatically lifts me up somehow. The melody and the lyrics are both so upbeat that I just had to recommend it.

“Who’s Good At Their Own Love?” (Kiha & The Faces)
TAEHYUN: Whether it’s love you’re feeling lost in, or anything else for that matter, this song will make you feel better. If you’re scared about starting something new, I really think you should give it a listen.

“Spring Day” (BTS)
HUENINGKAI: This is a timeless song, the kind you keep coming back to no matter how much time passes. It’s the perfect seasonal pick right now too. It makes me feel better every time I listen to it.
