Album Description
BTOB’s Warm Confession Song to Fans: Second Confession

After a successful year of various TV appearances and being recognized as one of the most anticipated idols, BTOB is releasing a digital single to celebrate their one-year debut anniversary, as a way to thank their fans for their support. Known for their powerful performances and solid vocal skills, BTOB places emphasis on “music that is meant to be heard” in this digital single, highlighting their vocals and rap.

The warm confession song Second Confession is a sweet track that gently tugs at the heartstrings and is full of the refreshing energy of spring. The song expresses the desire to return to an ex-lover, not only through the clever concept of a “second confession” but also by capturing the excitement of a man about to confess again, conveyed through witty lyrics. The vivid imagery in the lyrics allows listeners to easily picture scenes in their minds, bringing a smile to their faces as they listen. The soft melody and the spoken introduction also evoke memories of the 90s for those who grew up listening to the radio.

To convey the warmth of Second Confession, the music video features analog items like radios and postcards, capturing the nostalgic emotions of that time. Additionally, Denny Ahn from god, whom BTOB has long admired as their role model, made a special appearance in the music video teaser, raising anticipation for Second Confession. With Denny Ahn’s support and BTOB’s beautiful vocals, Second Confession is expected to resonate deeply with listeners who have been longing for “a good song,” and to receive widespread love.

Album Introduction
The next generation of emotional idols rising in 2012!
“Father”, a heartfelt confession from BTOB, the gentle seven-member group.

After surprising the public with their solid vocal skills and seasoned stage presence in their debut song “Insane”, BTOB returns with the heartfelt ballad “Father.” Released especially for Parents’ Day on May 8, “Father” is a love message from BTOB dedicated to all the fathers of the world. The lyrics express the deep emotions felt when noticing the weary appearance of a father who once seemed strong and invincible. They also remind us of the gratitude we often overlook for our families. This song resonates with listeners of all generations. The combination of its lyrical melody and BTOB’s emotional vocals adds a deeper layer of impact for the audience.

Composed by hit ballad makers Lim Sanghyuk and Jeon Dawoon, the song blends a soothing piano melody with sentimental string sounds to evoke love and appreciation for fathers. As we celebrate Family Month in May, pay attention to BTOB’s music, a messenger of love, who will deliver those words we have been too shy to say until now: “I love you, Dad.”

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.
