TXT, also known as Tomorrow X Together, returned on May 31 with the release of a new album, The Chaos Chapter: Freeze, that breathes life into alt rock music.

The K-pop group lead the album with 0x1=Lovesong (I Know I Love You) featuring rising South Korean R&B singer Seori. Co-written by RM from BTS, the romantic single is a modern take on the pop rock anthem, leaning into alt and emo rock with its instrumentals and a crashing, tumultuous chorus.

Fittingly, 0x1=Lovesong was released with a music video in which the group’s five members channel grunge and pop punk fashion and perform with handheld microphones.

Presenting the album, the band wore black and white, holey shirts and ripped jeans, modernising rock looks popularised in the 80s and 90s. Performances from the band have featured similar looks.

Different band members have songwriting credits for several of the tracks on The Chaos Chapter: Freeze, the group’s second full-length studio LP.
