Taemin, who is celebrating the 10th anniversary of his solo debut this year, has released his 5th mini album ‘ETERNAL’ which pours out the capabilities he has built up over the years.
The ‘ETERNAL’ album contains the solid will and identity as an artist that 'Taemin is Taemin no matter where he is or what he does'. It also honestly expresses the changes and unchanging constants faced over a long period of time, raising expectations by announcing a new beginning that only 'Taemin' can do.
In particular, the new album ‘ETERNAL’ is the first self-produced album in which Taemin participated in the entire process from planning to music, jacket concept, and music video, and he fully demonstrated his capabilities as an artist and producer by intensely capturing the things that only 'Taemin' can do.
The title song ‘Sexy In The Air’ features lyrics that express a firm self-identity and pride, and a desire for change and self-expression, combined with a sharp electric guitar sound, allowing you to feel Taemin's intense energy.
Also, the double title song ‘Horizon’ is an upbeat dance song of the modern synth-pop genre with an impressive dynamic melody that makes you feel vitality, and it contains Taemin's own story of trying to break away from familiarity and break the mold.
In addition, you will be able to meet Taemin's message, which is sophisticatedly and sensuously expressed through a total of 7 songs, including the hip-hop style ‘G.O.A.T’, ‘The Unknown Sea’ where you can feel acoustic sounds and lyrical emotions, the electric pop genre ‘Crush’, ‘Say Less’, and the dreamy mood ‘Deja Vu’.
No matter what, TAEMIN is TAEMIN.
01 G.O.A.T
Lyrics by San Yoon
Composed by TAEMIN, Colde, basecamp, yukon (0WAVE)
Arranged by Colde, basecamp
‘G.O.A.T’ shows an old-school yet powerful chorus and is a hip-hop style song that goes back and forth between boom bap and trap. The precarious tempo change within one song is fun to feel, and the contrasting sounds of the two feelings are attractive.
02 Sexy In The Air *title
Lyrics by Ryan Jeon, ZNEE, Jiin (ZNEE:US), Eeeee, Perrie, 9june9
Composed by Ryan Jeon, Dwayne “Dem Jointz” Abernathy Jr., TAEMIN, Racella, Sorana Pacurar, Dre Davidson, Sean Davidson, Jun Seo
Arranged by Ryan Jeon, Dem Jointz, The Monarch
‘Sexy In The Air’ is an impressive song that crosses various genres such as trap, boom bap, and drill by combining a metallic electric guitar sound and an intense hip-hop rhythm, and engraving a heavy synth bass sound. The sharp electric guitar sound emphasizes a firm self-identity and pride, and contains a desire for change and self-expression.
03 Horizon *title
Lyrics by Lee Eun-hwa (153/Joombas), BBYO, Jung Eun-ki (lalala Studio)

‘Horizon’ is an upbeat dance song of the modern synth-pop genre with a retro yet fresh sound synth pattern. It creates an energetic atmosphere with a dark bass and fast percussion sounds, and adds vitality to the song with a dynamic melody.
04 The Unknown Sea
Lyrics by ZNEE , Eeeee
Composed by Ryan Jeon, TAEMIN, Mich Hansen, Jacob Uchorczak, Samuel Ledet, James Wiliam Miller, Sara Davis
Arranged by Ryan Jeon, Cutfather, Samuel Ledet, Jacob Uchorczak
‘The Unknown Sea’ is a song that musically expresses the emotions of a butterfly meeting the sea for the first time. The piano sound expressing the calmness of the sea and the rhythm of the acoustic guitar show a vast and overwhelming feeling. Even in the wave of emotions where anxiety rushes in, it is a song that contains Taemin's journey to find himself that he has not yet discovered.
05 Crush
Lyrics by Surin, ZNEE, Eeeee
Composed by Ryan Jeon, TAEMIN, James Daniel Lewis, Daniel Shah, Robbie Jay, Steven Manovski
Arranged by Ryan Jeon, James Daniel Lewis
‘Crush’ is a song that stands out with its splendid electronic pop sound, and the combination of popping electric guitar and funky drum rhythm creates a lively atmosphere. Unique electronic sounds and talkbox effects add variety to this song.
06 Deja Vu
Lyrics by TAEMIN, Ahn Young-joo, Y0UNG
Composed by Ryan Jeon, TAEMIN, Sean Fischer, Enrique Maza, Sorana Pacurar, Young Chance
Arranged by Ryan Jeon, Sean Fischer
‘Deja Vu’ gives the feeling of a cosmic and dreamy movie due to the deep bass and sharp yet subtle string orchestration. It dreamily unravels the inner conflict in emotions and confusion, and the lyrics recall the experience of connecting the past and present, capturing the moment of discovering oneself in between.
