NOVEMBER UPDATE:
We're currently working on creating accurate lyric videos for all the songs in TXT's discography. As we complete each video, we’re embedding them into the corresponding lyric/context pages - this means that some songs already have lyric videos available, while others are still in progress. We appreciate your patience as we work through their discography.
(As of 14th October: All songs in TXT's official Korean discography (excl. their newly released 'Sanctuary' album) now have accurate lyric videos embedded in their 'lyrics and context' pages. We will now begin working on songs outside of their Korean discography (i.e. collabs, Japanese releases, etc.)
ONE DREAMOGRAPHY
If you’ve ever listened to even just a handful of TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s songs, you might have noticed the striking sonic and conceptual variety within their discography. In an industry where clear sonic identities play a crucial role in creating a distinct image for each group, TXT presents a unique case. Known as the "storytelling idols," ever since their debut, they have managed to maintain an impressive level of cohesion and thoughtfulness in their discography, achieving success despite their lack of a fixed sonic identity. At its core, TXT’s discography is driven by ‘youth.’ For TXT, ‘youth’ is not simply a fixed conceptual backdrop, but rather it’s the creative foundation and ever-evolving lens that transforms their discography from merely a collection of songs into a real-time coming-of-age story. Each era of TXT reflects youth’s most significant moments, and TXT has invited listeners to navigate this journey with them. As such, TXT’s discography is structured as a series of chapters, with each album speaking respectively to the evolving experiences and emotions within this core narrative.

We hope this helps you build a greater understanding and appreciation for the "storytelling idols", TOMORROW X TOGETHER.
KOREAN DISCOGRAPHY
The 'Dream Chapter' trilogy chronicles the journey of five boys* transitioning from childhood to adolescence, united by a common dream. As they navigate this pivotal period of youth, the albums explore the evolution of their friendship, the trials they face, and their growth as individuals. Set in a dreamlike world, the trilogy reflects their quest for dreams and aspirations. Additionally, the 'Dream Chapter' series serves as a metaphor for TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s own experiences, from trainees to debut artists, highlighting their shared journey of discovery and challenges in pursuit of their dreams. *These five boys can be interpreted as representing the five TXT members, but they also serve as generalized protagonists used to convey the broader experiences of youth.
Following the complexities and challenges that threatened the boys’ dreamlike world at the end of 'The Dream Chapters' and 'Minisode 1,' the 'Chaos Chapters' capture the disruption of this idyllic world as the boys confront the harsh realities and responsibilities of the world that begin to challenge their dreams and relationships. Their daily lives are thrown into turmoil, leaving them feeling frozen and overwhelmed until a transformative presence, represented as 'you,' appears before them. This series marks a transition from the nostalgic themes of earlier chapters to a deeper, more introspective examination of internal and external conflicts. Influenced by real-world events, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic, the 'Chaos Chapters' reflect the broader chaos and struggles inherent in youth.
"Each of our albums and chapters are generational narratives of our youth. Each album is a reflection of the experiences and emotions we have at that period in life and, often, they’re sentiments that are shared with our peers" - Beomgyu, VMAN Interview 2023
‘The Name Chapter’ albums delve into identity and self-definition, focusing on the journey of discovering and embracing one's true self amid societal pressures. Following the conflicts of the Chaos Chapters and Minisode 2, these albums explore how the boys let these experiences shape them, highlighting their struggles to assert their individuality and solidify their identities as they transition into adulthood. The overarching narrative emphasizes self-acceptance, authenticity, and the transformative power of embracing one’s unique path and true calling.
In between each series of chapters in TXT's discography, 'minisodes' are released. Minisodes are not directly part of TXT's discography-driven storyline, but they act as interludes /transitions between each set of chapters.
