It’s a song that helps you rediscover the essential emotions we tend to lose sight of in everyday life.

Recommended for nights when you want to mull things over while savoring the meaning of the lyrics.

N.TOP, a boy group that debuted in August 2025 to great anticipation.

The lead track from their debut mini-album “WE:DISCONNECT” is a refreshingly cool pop-rock number.

Their appeal lies in a self-expressive style where the members handle everything from songwriting to choreography, and this release was also led by leader Seunghyun.

While it serves as the prologue to a grand concept of “disconnection,” the song conveys a single-minded desire to stay with someone precious.

The harmony woven by energetic guitar sounds and youthful vocals is enough to set your heart ablaze.

It’s a cheering, motivational track you’ll want to hear when taking a new step or when you want to feel the bond with your friends.
