The 3rd Album [Be Together], ‘BLUE LOVE’ presented by BTOB who is about to begin their second chapter

BTOB, who has reunited after 4 years, releases their 3rd Album [Be Together]. With the 10th anniversary of their debut, BTOB who has captivated the hearts of the audience through their Well-Made music is soon to open up a spectacular second chapter with the most ‘BTOB-like’ music.

The 3rd Album [Be Together] by BTOB is an album that conveys the message of being together forever by reflecting on the emotions and memories of the moments spent together. The title track ‘The Song’ continues the sentiment of the series ‘Missing You’, ‘Only one for me’, and ‘Beautiful Pain’, and sings of a love that will not change over time as candidly as the title itself. In addition, the atmosphere and emotions of the tracks the members wrote themselves will evoke spring nostalgia for many listeners who have been waiting for BTOB’s music.

BTOB defines ‘BLUE’ as ‘LOVE’ through their 3rd Album [Be Together]. ‘BLUE LOVE’ that BTOB aims to express can be seen from the visual mood of the album. The teaser images of the ‘Be Love’ version completed with a blue ocean contain the distant sentiment of the end of a cold winter, and the teaser images of the ‘Be Blue’ version with full-bloomed flowers express the enthusiasm of anticipation for a green spring. The music video aesthetically depicts deep longing and bursting excitement as the members connected by music and letters with memories gather and sing together.

BTOB is back with [Be Together], an album with their heartwarming sincerity as always. We hope that the blue love will resonate through BTOB’s ‘The Song’ that will paint the upcoming spring.

Lyrics by Hyun Sik Lim, VINCENZO, Min Hyuk Lee (HUTA), Peniel

After the curtain falls there’s a small tremor that slowly started in the dark and silence and the scared heart becomes filled with shinning light, and we promise and sing a song to be forever together again. 

Starting with quiet piano performance, various instruments gradually fill the space. In the second half of the song, the members’ chanting and ad-lib contain the album’s final narrative, and it ends by illustrating the mixed emotions at the end of the waiting and the beginning of a new start.

If ‘The Song’ was carrying a message “I’ll call you”, the album’s outro, ‘Encore’, is telling a message to “Call me”, and these messages finally come together to complete the name of the album, “Be Together”. They will continue to leave their traces together.

“I will call you, and you call me.” by BTOB
