The HYBE boyband repackage May’s ‘Freeze’ with three new additions that mostly find them leaning further into their rock star era
“‘LO$ER=LO♡ER’ picks up where ‘0X1=LOVESONG’ left off, its driving guitar melody (played on an instrument that once belonged to The Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards) and expletive-filled lyrics masking the song’s more romantic layers. The song’s concept lies in its loser’s “desire to be a hero” – or a lover – to their soulmate and its lyrics shine a light on the importance the group place on love.”
About Moa diary:
“A tribute to TXT’s fandom – who are called MOA – and written by the band themselves, it repays the strength and healing they get from their listeners in touching sentiments that highlight the bond between the two parties. “Remember the day we first met / TXT’s only Little Mermaid,” Beomgyu sings with a wink, his reference just one of many “secret codes” the five-piece have woven into the track. ‘Dubbadu’ itself is also a semi-cryptic nod to one of MOA’s names for the group.”
