Album Introduction
Following 4Minute, BEAST, and G.NA,
Cube Entertainment’s ambitious project, BTOB!

BTOB (Born TO Beat), debuting under Cube Entertainment, is a seven-member boy band that is regarded as one of the most highly anticipated groups of 2012. The name, “Born TO Beat,” carries two meanings: “Born for Beat (music)” and “Born to overwhelm listeners worldwide with our own music.” BTOB is a skilled group that Cube has long prepared, enhancing their vocal and performance abilities through thorough pre-debut analysis, especially targeting the Asian market. Even before their debut, some members gained attention by appearing in the sitcom “Living in Cheongdam-dong”, debuting on the show as the most popular idol group, which caused a sensation, even topping search rankings.

BTOB is making an exceptional debut as a rookie with two title tracks, “비밀 (Insane)” and “IMAGINE.” These tracks were created by composers Seo Jaewoo and Seo Yongbae, who diversified Cube’s production capabilities. The songs stand out with emotional melody lines, in stark contrast to the electronic performance music dominating the current K-pop scene. In particular, “Insane”, features an emotional piano line blended with grand strings and a sophisticated melody, with the arrangement and lyrical vocals intensifying towards the end of the song, highlighting the emotional depth of the vocals. “IMAGINE,” an urban R&B track, realistically portrays the inner conflict of being drawn to someone other than the girlfriend, a situation many men might relate to.

As Cube’s long-prepared ambitious project, BTOB shows musical maturity despite being rookies, with members actively participating in songwriting, rap-making, and music production. To ensure the quality of their debut songs, they included a 28-member string section and carefully refined the tracks through multiple revisions, showcasing their artistic dedication. In 2012, when K-pop is expected to advance, BTOB boldly steps forward under Cube’s name with exceptional talent and songs of rare perfection, securing their title as one of the “most promising” group.
