THE NAME CHAPTER: TEMPTATION

JANUARY 27 2023 | 5TH MINI ALBUM | TITLE TRACK: SUGAR RUSH RIDE

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, tempted by the fantasy of staying in this idealized world and the call to grow up. But temptation cannot last forever. The album’s tracklist unfolds their internal conflict, reflecting the universal fear of change and the appeal of avoidance. Ultimately, the boys* realize that to discover who they truly are, they must leave Neverland behind. Trading illusion for growth, and fantasy for the future, they take their first steps toward self-defined identity and the challenges that come with it.

*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.
