"There have been many honorable events where we felt so unbelievably grateful. The press conference held on Thursday, a day ahead of the album's release, felt like a celebration of the group's glorious return after 10 months of remarkable feats overseas. ![]() The band, often referred to as TXT, released its third full-length album, "The Name Chapter: Freefall," Friday afternoon. True to TXT form, the single wouldn’t come alive without its accompanying music video and the quintet supplied some of their most impressive choreography for “Sugar Rush Ride.” Beyond the physically demanding high kicks and lifts, the best part of the choreo may be how the guys transform into seductive little devils themselves with bewitching, controlled movements to illustrate the music switch-up physically.Įven more impressively, “Sugar Rush Ride” doesn’t have a traditional bridge but doesn’t feel like it’s missing anything to become an early standout K-pop song for 2023 and a sweet gem in TXT’s impressive singles discography.After a yearlong journey touring international stages, including Lollapalooza and MTV's Video Music Awards, boy band Tomorrow X Together is back with a new album, this time setting its sights on the Billboard charts. The track flips the racing funk-pop into a slithering, minimalist chorus where the guys hiss how “The devil said: ‘Gimme gimme more, gimme gimme more,'” before a hyped-up, catchy breakdown that grows in intensity after each chorus. ![]() Yet as strong as their albums tend to be, the true standout on The Name Chapter: Temptation has to be “Sugar Rush Ride.” While the opening’s glittery guitar opening recalls 2020’s “Blue Hour” (one of the group’s best singles), listeners take a true musical “Ride” here.

Not only do SOOBIN, YEONJUN, BEOMGYU, TAEHYUN and HUENINGKAI all boast writing credits, YEONJUN crafted melodies for one of the standout b-side tracks “Happy Fools,” marking his first melody contribution for a TXT album. The group said HYBE founder Bang Shi-Hyuk (who contributed to two of the EP’s five tracks, including the new single “Sugar Rush Ride”) encouraged them to take a heavier hand on certain songs this time to bring their own stories and lyrics. ![]() But the quintet share that Temptation EP was particularly intentional for including the group’s own stories. With six entries on the Billboard 200 (the most of any K-pop group other than their BIGHIT MUSIC labelmates BTS), TOMORROW X TOGETHER have shown how their stylized storytelling targeted for their Generation Z is consistently connecting. In the hourlong press conference that included the first look at TXT’s new single, music video and stage performance, youngest member HUENINGKAI shared the group’s bold plan to “work hard to make 2023 the year of TXT.” With their most robust music output in months-not to mention the group’s highest amount of album pre-orders ever hinting at a high Billboard 200 debut- The Name Chapter: Temptation has already set TXT in motion to make that dream a reality.
