K-pop group TOMORROW X TOGETHER has revealed the tracklist and concept photos for their 8th mini album 7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns. The album revolves around the idea of “thorns,” which acts as its main symbol, and the tracklist was shared on the group’s social media. It features six songs that move across different styles but still feel connected as one story. The tracks include “Bed of Thorns,” “Stick With You,” “Take Me to Nirvana (feat. Vinida Weng),” “So What,” “21st Century Romance,” and “Dream of Mine.”
The main track “Stick With You” is an electro pop song with a catchy and powerful chorus. It blends a vintage 909 drum sound with techno punk elements. The song talks about the feeling of not being able to let go of someone who is about to leave, holding on to a fading relationship for “just one more day.” At the same time, it reflects the group’s own desire to keep chasing their dreams as they step into their seventh year together. Instead of feeling like an ending, the song represents a fresh beginning.
The opening track “Bed of Thorns” is inspired by the idea that you must face the consequences of your own choices. The third track “Take Me to Nirvana (feat. Vinida Weng)” captures the sense of freedom that comes after letting go of doubts. In “So What,” the group openly expresses the worries and questions they have faced over the past seven years, but with honesty and a touch of humour. “21st Century Romance” shows their determination to follow their own path despite the noise and distractions of the modern world. The final song “Dream of Mine” ends the album on a hopeful note, looking ahead to an uncertain but exciting future.
Starting March 2, the group began building excitement by releasing a cinematic concept trailer along with photos based on four themes called ‘THORN,’ ‘HUNGER,’ ‘TENSION,’ and ‘ANXIETY.’ Each concept represents a different emotional state connected to the album’s central idea.
Across these concept photos, the image of thorns appears in different ways to show inner struggles and emotional ups and downs. The black and white ‘THORN’ concept gives a feeling of rebirth and a new beginning. The ‘HUNGER’ concept shows calm expressions from the members in pajamas set against a messy, thorn-covered background, highlighting a sense of emptiness after emotional chaos. In ‘TENSION,’ the thorns appear on the wallpaper, creating a heavy and uneasy mood. ‘ANXIETY’ places the group in a dreamlike forest, showing acceptance of the unknown and quiet readiness for what comes next.
The album preview will be released on April 6, followed by a teaser for the main track on April 11. The full album and the music video for “Stick With You” will be released on April 13 at 6 PM KST.
The group is also set to perform as a main headliner at KCON LA 2026 on August 16, where they will present an hour-long solo set.
TOMORROW X TOGETHER, made up of SOOBIN, YEONJUN, BEOMGYU, TAEHYUN, and HUENINGKAI, are known for turning the emotions and experiences of their generation into music that connects globally. Over the years, they have achieved strong chart success, including multiple entries on the Billboard 200, and have made history as the first K-pop group to both perform and later headline Lollapalooza in Chicago. They have also received major award nominations and wins, and in 2024, they became the first K-pop act to hold two consecutive sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden. In 2025, they partnered with UNICEF for the ‘TOGETHER FOR TOMORROW’ campaign, focusing on youth mental health. Now, in April 2026, they are ready to return with their new album 7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns.
