Album Description
A ‘Different Class’ Dark Horse, BTOB

The new model of K-POP boy bands, BTOB, is back with their new release Press Play. Following their debut song Insane, this second mini-album, Press Play, takes its title from the ‘Play’ button on a cassette tape, symbolizing “Now is BTOB’s Play Time.” The album showcases BTOB’s distinct style, incorporating a 90s retro image and the feel of New Jack Swing, setting them apart from other boy bands.

1. Press Play
The intro song Press Play carries the literal meaning of pressing the ‘Play’ button to enjoy BTOB’s music. Especially notable is the contribution of their labelmate G.NA, who not only featured in the song but also participated in the concept and lyrics, showing her deep affection for BTOB.

2. WOW
The title track WOW stands out with its New Jack Swing style, which was hugely popular both domestically and internationally in the 90s, bringing a fresh wave to the otherwise monotonous idol music market. The witty lyrics, “급이 달라 남달라 태 태 태 태가 달라” (“We’re on a different level, we’re different, our style is different”) contain a familiar rhythms with a modern touch.

3. 사랑밖에 난 몰라 (Lover Boy; I only Know Love)
I Only Know Love continues the 90s retro sound, filled with a charm that makes listeners feel instantly nostalgic. While the mainstream of K-POP flows with flashy electronic sounds, BTOB, known for their exceptional vocal skills, began to showcase their unique color. In this track, the seven members portray themselves as passionate men who only know love, expressing their emotional performance over a strong beat.

4. U & I
U & I delivers sweetness and warmth to a loved one.

5. My Girl
My Girl, an acoustic guitar-based song that highlights BTOB’s smooth vocal lines.

6. Stand UP
Stand Up, with its encouraging and comforting lyrics for the weary, is sure to meet listeners’ expectations.

As Cube Entertainment’s ambitious new face, and having been marked as the next generation’s leaders even before their debut, BTOB’s activity this fall is set to redefine K-POP in 2012.
