THE NAME CHAPTER: FREEFALL
OCTOBER 13 2023 | 3RD FULL-LENGTH ALBUM | TITLE TRACK: CHASING THAT FEELING
'The Name Chapter: FREEFALL' continues the journey from 'TEMPTATION,' following the boys’* decision to leave the safety of their Neverland-like world and embrace the uncertainties of adulthood. Themes of risk, courage, and self-discovery shape the album as they take a fearless leap into the unknown. Through bold and introspective tracks, they confront both the exhilaration and fear of freefall, learning to accept life’s unpredictability and pursue their dreams despite the risks. Ultimately, 'FREEFALL' celebrates the transformative power of embracing fear, marking the culmination of 'The Name Chapter' with a powerful affirmation of the boys’ growth and self-realization.
[*Within TXT's discography-based narrative the 'boys/boy' can be interpreted as representing the TXT members, but they also serve as generalized protagonists used to convey the broader experiences of youth.]
