ALBUM
| NO | TRACK | ABOUT |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | The Sun | The album’s first track, ‘The Sun,’ is a pop ballad featuring a blend of emotional synthesizer and electric guitar sounds. The lyrics, which look back on the time NCT DREAM has spent dreaming and walking together, convey the belief that they were able to get through countless moments of their long journey because they had each other, and a promise to continue moving forward toward the same dream unchangingly, like the sun rising over their shoulders after a dark night.

| 02 | Boogie Woogie | The title track ‘Boogie Woogie’ is an up-tempo dance song that combines the vintage sensibility of 70s disco funk with modern synthesizer sounds. The blend of rhythmic percussion and groovy bass performance delivers an exciting energy that makes you want to move the moment you hear it. The lyrics, co-written by Jaemin , convey a message celebrating the past 10 years of running together and encouraging everyone to fully enjoy this moment. They express gratitude for each other for making ordinary daily life special, as well as the belief that they will shine brilliantly together in the future, all through NCT DREAM’s signature bright and cheerful sensibility.

It heightens overwhelming emotions with a festival anthem-style composition that becomes more refreshing towards the end, and the lyrics capture the excitement of the unknown and the determination to advance into a bigger world.

| 04 | Skydive | ‘Skydive’, is an electronic hyper-pop track that blends rich keyboard sounds with distortion bass and intense drums. With a contrast between soft sensibility and intense sound, the song sings about the meaning of a precious person realized after misunderstandings, and the warm heart that provides the strength to rise above fear.

| 08 | Tumbler | This track features a warm and cozy atmosphere that gently embraces the heart. Much like a ‘tumbler’ that retains warmth for a long time, it conveys a sincere promise: to hold onto precious feelings and remain by your side, always at the same constant, comforting temperature.

| 09 | Smile For U | This track features a lively atmosphere, blending an acoustic band sound with the rich, harmonized tones of doo-wop.

| 10 | This is Your World | As the albumโs grand finale, the track features intense electric guitar and an explosive band sound that evoke a sense of magnificent, overwhelming emotion. It captures a special moment in the dead of night when two separate worlds converge into a single dreamโconveying a hopeful promise that, even if one were to wander beyond the boundaries between dreams and reality, they would still share a new dream with the one they love.
