And so, let us become gentle lights for one another.
There is a story that when birds traveling a long distance cross the sea, they carry a small twig in their beaks, and when they grow weary, they float that twig upon the water to rest. In a large concert hall somewhere, back when it was so dark that one couldn't know where anything was without knowing the layout in advance, I saw your light flickering. I saw it several times. We have lived for quite a long time with that light tucked away in our hearts. Our names, which rose brightly one by one like stars, were formed by your gentle heart, which lit up the darkest of places.
When it grows dark, the lights turn on. The irony that it becomes brightest at the darkest hour, and that we become together even when we are alone. Come to think of it, there hasn't been a single moment when we were truly alone. A small light telling us with all its might, "I am here." Thanks to your kindness, which lit our path from the beginning like a flashlight, we were able to walk for a long time—lighting the way through each other's darkness. Those nights that passed slowly were the brightest of all to us.
Leaning on that gentle and cozy heart, we hand this album to you. We turn on our lights, hoping to illuminate the darkness beneath your feet. Because, just as you did for us, we want to be people who can return even a small portion of the kindness we received from you. In a world full of strange things that often harass you, we hope that for the brief moment you listen to this album, it can be a little kinder to you. We hope you can find the strength to get through your day. And ultimately, we hope together that you can realize what a wonderful person you are, you who have lit our way for so long.
#01. BODY
Lyrics: Jung Eun-gi (lalala studio), KZ, DINT, Jiwon (153/Joombas)
Composition: KZ, Kim Tae-young, DINT, MLC
Arrangement: KZ, Kim Tae-young
The song opens with a sensory and playful whistle sound. "BODY," featuring a groovy electric bass sound and an unforgettable chant melody, is a house track that unfolds an addictive, ear-catching chorus with Highlight's signature freshness.
A confession of love—that this moment of matching steps under the moonlight is the most important, that the time spent with you right now is the most precious—flows unfiltered through a confident attitude. Because it is a musical style Highlight has never attempted before, it feels even fresher and more unique.
#02. Switch On
Lyrics: IRIS (MonoTree), Noday, Lee Gi-kwang
Composition: Noday, VERSACHOI, Lee Gi-kwang
Arrangement: VERSACHOI, Noday
Upon a stage where the lights turn on. "Switch On," which signals the start of another new activity as if shining a spotlight on the stage once more, showcases a relaxed yet powerful atmosphere based on a strong bass sound and a restrained track. It metaphorically expresses a confident image, still shouting, "I'm still Iconic."
#03. Feel Your Love (48.6 Hertz)
Lyrics: Na Jung-ah (153/Joombas), Alphabet (153/Joombas)
Composition: KZ, Kim Tae-young, DINT, Charlotte Wilson, CELOTRON (Decade +)
Arrangement: KZ, Kim Tae-young
Characterized by a retro yet sophisticated synthesizer sound and relentlessly driving drum sounds, this is a charming track where Highlight's vocals are clean and bring out the style of the song.
It sings of our long time together—where repeated yesterdays accumulate to become today, and those todays gather to become our memories—and of our vast space that begins with small daily routines and spreads across the entire earth. It captures the moment when time and space gather to become our story.
#04. How to Love
Lyrics: Lee Gi-kwang, Park Sol, NOD, JESE
Composition: NOD, Park Sol, JESE, Lee Gi-kwang
Arrangement: NOD, JESE
Against a track reminiscent of a refreshing blue sky, the song captures the process of love, feeling changes in daily life as if encountering spring for the first time due to newly awakened feelings of love. It honestly and freshly captures the desire to understand and learn love for the first time, like a child, through Highlight's unique sensibility.
#05. In My Head
Lyrics: Lee Gi-kwang, Flip_00, Soo-yoon
Composition: Flip_00, 37, Logan, Lee Gi-kwang
Arrangement: Flip_00, 37
Blending emotional sound and a sense of beat, "In My Head" is a track with a charming, refreshing band sound. Against an exciting track that conveys overwhelming emotion for a loved one, it depicts the process of becoming colored by one another. You, who approached as brilliance amidst a darkness that seemed endless. Imagining the partner who will be waiting at the end of the fading day, it sings with honest emotion of a fluttering heart that hopes every single moment will be you.
