TXT Reveal Tracklist And Album Photos For 'PERFECT STORM'
Rosa Gulliver of TINYGMUSIC | October 30, 2026
TOMORROW X TOGETHER, a group under BIGHIT MUSIC, a label within HYBE, has unveiled the tracklist and album photos for their 9th mini album, PERFECT STORM.
The upcoming album consists of six tracks including the lead single “Angel Bite,” along with “Storm is…,” “Higher Love,” “Sweetest Escape,” “Touch the Sky,” and “Hate It or Love It.” Spanning discoplug, avant-pop, dance punk, minimal techno, and alternative pop, PERFECT STORM embraces the storm as a catalyst for change, breaking through stagnation and opening up new possibilities.
The lead single “Angel Bite” is a discoplug track that merges playful, game-inspired sounds with a rough yet nostalgic melody. Stripping away romanticised notions of youth, the song confronts the anxiety and sense of inadequacy that come with a difficult reality, while expressing the longing to remain with someone they love despite it all. The song carries forward the group’s signature approach to love songs, following past hits including “0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You) feat. Seori,” “LO$ER=LO♡ER,” and “Over The Moon.”
The album’s opener, “Storm is…” sets the tone with a bold declaration to dive into the storm and break free from a seemingly inescapable reality, regardless of what may be lost along the way. The high-energy third track, “Higher Love,” explores the pursuit of dreams and ambitions that can be both a source of pain and a driving force. The album also contains two unit tracks with new pairings. “Sweetest Escape,” a unit track by YEONJUN, TAEHYUN, and HUENINGKAI, offers a promise of refuge from the pressures of everyday life, while “Touch the Sky,” a unit track by SOOBIN and BEOMGYU, expresses an unyielding ambition to pursue success. Finally, the album closes on an introspective note with “Hate It or Love It,” reflecting on the courage to leave behind the familiar and embracing change, regardless of the outcome.
Since October 19, TOMORROW X TOGETHER heightened anticipation by unveiling the concept trailer “STORM IS COMING,” along with four sets of album photos, tracing a journey from anticipating the storm and riding its currents to ultimately holding its power in their hands. In the first concept, ‘STORM IS COMING,’ each member awaits the approaching storm in a different setting. In ‘RIDE THE STORM,’ the group embraces its powerful currents rather than resisting them, while ‘EYE OF THE STORM’ finds them gazing outward from its tranquil center. Finally, ‘HOLDING THE STORM’ captures the moment they hold the once-overwhelming force at their fingertips.
An album preview will follow on November 5, with a music video teaser for “Angel Bite” arriving ahead of the album and accompanying a music video release on November 16 at 6 PM KST. As of October 30, PERFECT STORM reached No. 1 on Spotify's Countdown Pages, garnering immense global interest even before its release.
TOMORROW X TOGETHER is set to begin their fifth world tour, ‘STEAL THE WIND,’ this November, with dates in North America and Europe scheduled for 2027. The group will also perform for the first time on the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour this December.
