[Album Introduction]

The present (NOW) with NOWADAYS and the daily life (DAYS) they will create anew together

The exclamation 'OoWee!' that bursts out in the fleeting moment of falling in love with them!

NOWADAYS 1st Single [NOWADAYS]

Cube Entertainment's new boy group 'NOWADAYS' (나우어데이즈), debuting after approximately 8 years, makes their first appearance in the music industry with their 1st single [NOWADAYS].

‘NOWADAYS’ embodies the ambition to be curious about the 'today (NOW)' of the public and fans, and to present special memories and experiences in the 'daily life (DAYS)' they will create together in the future. The group name, which is also connected to the 'NOW, A _____ DAYS' logo motion released before their debut, also carries the bold message of rookies who aim to showcase unconfined novelty and flexibility by embracing various concepts.

Comprising a total of five members—Hyunbin, Yoon, Yeonwoo, Jinhyuk, and Siyun—NOWADAYS emphasizes their unique identity of being together through all days, building a new genre of DAYS-POP with limitless charm.

The debut title track 'OoWee' appropriately blends soulful melodies with hip-hop elements, while the 808 bass groove drives the song's flow with an addictive force. Notably, in the music video, NOWADAYS transforms into a mischievous Anti Love Squad, portrayed in their most lovable and cheerful light. In a world where love is a sin and Cupid is an enemy, NOWADAYS is wary of the fluttering feelings of first love and tries to capture Cupid. However, they eventually embrace 'love,' the only light in a bleak world, and express the moment they fall in love after being struck by Cupid's arrow with their trendy catchphrase, 'OoWee.'

With thrilling, racing energy and powerful performances, 'NOW,' which garnered significant global fan attention even before their debut, is a breakbeat genre track featuring hybrid EDM elements over a dynamic bassline. The five members, stepping onto the stage where their dream journey begins, hold the key to the opportunity to unfold their dreams and convey a strong ambition to head towards an endless tomorrow.

The final track, 'TICKET,' is a pop song that will capture the hearts of those who want to leave their boring daily lives behind and go somewhere. Starting with an airplane notification sound, elements reminiscent of airplane takeoff and landing add to the song's immersion.

Furthermore, members Jinhyuk and Siyun participated in writing the lyrics for ‘OoWee’ and ‘TICKET,’ enhancing the completeness of the debut album. This not only showcases NOWADAYS' musical potential but also stimulates anticipation for the new generation DAYS-POP genre they will present to the public.

The 'present (NOW)' with NOWADAYS and the 'daily life (DAYS)' they will create anew in the future.

We look forward to NOWADAYS, who will fill the space between them with their unique colors and establish themselves as 'The One (A)'.

“Start the journey, towards endless tomorrow”

Now, at this moment, the dream journey has begun on stage. We have been given the key to the opportunity to risk everything and unfold our dreams. Though we don't know its end, today we head towards tomorrow with you, who has joined us on this journey.

“OoWee!”

The moment of falling in love, 3 seconds. But in a fleeting instant, less than 3 seconds, first love arrived. I hate that my whole body stiffens and breaks down in front of love. Yet, these unfamiliar feelings, though not entirely disliked, approach with excitement. Now, I confess my heart, filled with confidence and honesty.

03. TICKET

Composed by samUIL (Decade+), INFX

Lyrics by Hwang Yubin (XYXX), Jinhyuk, Siyun

Arranged by INFX

“Don't know the destination, See you tomorrow”

Somewhere I've never been before. There's no set destination, but this thrilling feeling, pounding with curiosity, guides us. Rather than fear, I anticipate the new moments this journey will bring me.
