OMEGA X Confess Their Love in To.

Two years after their Japanese debut Stand Up!, OMEGA X is back with another Japanese mini-album.

To. - TRACKLIST:

  1. “Think I Wanna Do”

  2. “愛の力 (ai no chikara)”

  3. “TOXIC”

  4. “Cool My Head”

  5. “Bounce It”

The album starts with “Think I Wanna Do,” a cute pop song written by member Junghoon about a blossoming attraction and confession of love. 

The group released “Cool My Head” on October 30 as a pre-release B-side paired with a music video. The track, composed by leader Jaehan and written by both Jaehan and Sebin, has the classic OMEGA X sound they take on for their pop tracks. The video is simple, but still finds a way to tug at fan's heartstrings. Between scenes of the members dancing, each member is dressed up in an outfit that correlates with a different occupation. They even found a unique way to incorporate Hwichan and Sebin, two members who enlisted in the South Korean military in July of this year. 

Third on the tracklist is “TOXIC,” an angsty track written and composed by Yechan, Jaehan, Hangyeom, and Xen. The song is about being sick of the way you live and changing your life despite what may come after. 

“愛の力” or “Power of Love” is the slowest song on the album. It is about a special kind of love, one where even though you are forced to be apart you will always come together again and that love will bloom just as it did before. It is the perfect track to be shared between idols and their fans, two groups of people who have a love for each other despite distance.

If OMEGA X songs were people, “Bounce It” would be “JUNK FOOD”’s sister. They close the album out with this upbeat rocked-out track that will get your blood pumping. The track was written by Junghoon, Hangyeom, and Yechan with Junghoon also serving as the composer.

There are two versions of the album being sold, one of which comes with a DVD. The DVD features exclusive behind-the-scenes content and a performance video of the pre-release track “Cool My Head.”
