ABOUT/MEANING: 'Do It Like That' captures the exhilarating rush of admiration and attraction toward someone whose individuality and unapologetic self-expression make them impossible to ignore. This admiration becomes a mirror: by appreciating what makes someone else shine, the boys* are able to recognize the value of being unapologetically themselves as they step into adulthood and learn to navigate life on their own terms. The song celebrates the joy and power of living authentically and the magnetic force of confidence. In a world that often demands conformity, 'Do It Like That' encourages the boys to embrace what makes them unique and to take pride in being boldly themselves.

Themes of risk, courage, and transformation shape the album as they take a fearless leap into the unknown. No longer held back by fantasy or fear, they begin to define themselves on their own terms, embracing vulnerability as the path to authenticity. FREEFALL stands as a bold affirmation of identity, resilience, and the power of choosing growth - no matter the risk.


Helpful Context (Album Series Summary): The Name Chapters explore the journey of discovering and defining one’s true self amid internal doubt and societal pressure. Building on the emotional aftermath of The Chaos Chapters and Thursday’s Child, these albums follow the boys as they transform pain into personal growth. Focused on self-acceptance and authenticity, the series marks a pivotal step in the transition from adolescence to adulthood: the search for who they are, and who they aspire to become.


*In the context of TXT’s discography, the term ‘boy’/‘boys’ are used to represent both the members themselves as well as serve as generalized protagonists embodying the universal experiences of youth.
