TOMORROW X TOGETHER caps a busy stretch with The Name Chapter: FREEFALL, the South Korean five-piece boyband’s fifth album.
The Name Chapter: FREEFALL arrives just two month after the release of Sweet, the lads’ second Japanese-language album, which debuted at No. 3 on the World Albums chart.
This year has also been a sweet one for TXT — comprising Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun and HueningKai. They’re coming off their first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (and third top 10 appearance on the chart) with The Name Chapter: Temptation, from January 2023; a U.S. late night TV debut; a headline performance at this year’s Lollapalooza; and the release of their collaborative single with the Jonas Brothers, “Do It Like That.”
Produced by Ryan Tedder, the prolific creative behind such hits as OneRepublic’s “Counting Stars” and Beyoncé’s “Halo,” “Do It Like That” was the first team-up by TXT and the U.S. sibling trio, and it appears on the new album.
The new music drop follows a round of teases in August via social media posts on both the band and BigHit Music’s accounts, initially identifying the album’s title and sharing a mysterious video teaser.
The Name Chapter: FREEFALL is the second instalment in the K-pop group’s “name” series, after The Name Chapter: Temptation, which impacted the Billboard 200 for a total of 19 weeks, including one cycle at the summit.
It’s 10 cuts deep, and includes the previously-released singles “Chasing That Feeling” (including a second, English-language version) and “Back for More.”
