JANUARY 27 2023 | FIFTH MINI ALBUM | TITLE TRACK: SUGAR RUSH RIDE

'THE NAME CHAPTER: TEMPTATION' SUMMARY: 'The Name Chapter: Temptation' draws inspiration from Peter Pan, exploring the seductive allure of Neverland: a dreamlike realm of eternal youth and carefree freedom. After the chaos and heartbreak of earlier chapters, the boys* stand at a crossroads, torn between the fantasy of staying in this idealized world and the call to grow up. The pull of Neverland is strong, but temptation cannot last forever; even the sweetest dream fades when reality calls. The album’s songs trace their internal conflict, reflecting the universal fear of change and the comfort of avoidance. Ultimately, they realize that to discover who they truly are, they must leave Neverland behind. Trading illusion for growth and fantasy for the future, the boys take their first steps toward self-defined identity and the challenges that come with it.

THE NAME CHAPTER 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.
