TXT Returns with 8th Mini Album, Exploring Emotions and Thoughts from 7 Years of Stardom

Tomorrow X Together (TXT) is making a comeback with their 8th mini album, delving into the emotions and thoughts they've experienced over their seven-year career. The album, titled '7TH YEAR: When the Wind Stops in the Thorns', will be released on October 13 at 6 PM.

The album features six tracks, including the title track 'Stick With You', 'Bed of Thorns', 'Take Me to Nirvana (feat. 万妮达Vinida Weng)', 'So What', '21st Century Romance', and 'Next of Next'.

This release marks the first group album since the members renewed their contracts with Big Hit Music last year. Unlike their previous works, where a fictional 'boy' narrated the stories of youth, this album sees the members themselves as the protagonists, offering a fresh perspective. The album candidly addresses universal emotions such as anxiety and emptiness about the future, resonating with listeners worldwide. The members have also contributed to the songwriting and composition, adding authenticity to the album.

The album's poetic title and Korean title track have caught the attention of K-pop fans. TXT has previously been noted for their unique song titles, such as 'CROWN' and 'Run Away', which have sparked interest since their debut.

The title track 'Stick With You' is an electro-pop song with a catchy and powerful chorus. It portrays the yearning to hold onto a love that seems to be ending, which can also be interpreted as TXT's determination to pursue their dreams. The performance, featuring choreography that symbolizes the desire to be together infinitely, adds to the song's appeal.

TXT will hold a comeback showcase at Korea University's Hwajeong Gymnasium on October 13 at 8 PM.
