NCT DREAM Celebrates 10th Anniversary With Sixth Studio album 'DREAM AFTER DREAM'

NCT DREAM celebrates their 10th anniversary with the release of the sixth studio album, DREAM AFTER DREAM.

Spanning 10 tracks across a diverse range of genres, from disco-funk and hyperpop to electronic house and pop rock, “DREAM AFTER DREAM” showcases the group’s musical versatility and continued evolution. Looking back on a decade of shared experiences while embracing the possibilities ahead, the album celebrates how far NCT DREAM has come and the dreams they have yet to pursue.

The title track “Boogie Woogie” is an upbeat dance track that blends vintage 1970s disco-funk with modern synth sounds, rhythmic percussion, and groovy basslines. Member JAEMIN contributed to the lyrics, which celebrate the group’s decade-long journey and the people who have made even the most ordinary moments feel special.

Other tracks include “The Sun” and “Dream After Dream,” which reflect on the members’ shared journey and hopes for the future, while “Skydive” and “Pressure” explore themes of courage and pushing beyond one’s limits. “Watch U Watch Me,” “Cool for Me,” and “Tumbler” offer different perspectives on love, while “Smile for U,” co-written by HAECHAN, and “This Is Your World” convey heartfelt messages of comfort, hope, and togetherness.

Ahead of the release, NCT DREAM hosted a special listening party in Seoul, giving fans an exclusive first listen to all 10 tracks and a chance to hear directly from the members about the new album. The group is also marking the occasion with the “WELCOME, DREAMERS” pop-up, offering fans another way to experience the album and celebrate the milestone.

“With DREAM AFTER DREAM, we wanted to share a message about continuing to chase our dreams together. We hope you’ll look forward to all the new memories we’ll make along the way,” said JENO.

JAEMIN added, “It’s thanks to the love and support we’ve received from Czennies over the past 10 years that we’ve been able to share so many happy memories together. To me, our 10th anniversary isn’t the end of a chapter, but the beginning of so many new possibilities and opportunities.”
