GreatGuys has announced the release of their fifth mini album titled “RECORD OF YOUTH EP. 1: DESTINY.” This new album marks the beginning of a series that focuses on the time they have spent with their fans since their debut and the new memories they will create in the future. Following their fourth mini album, “WE’RE NOT ALONE FINAL: ONLY YOU,” which was released in July 2022 and promoted in both Korea and Japan, GreatGuys is now gearing up for their latest release. Fans can now pre-order “RECORD OF YOUTH,” with the official release scheduled for June 18, 2023, at noon KST (June 17, 2023; 11 PM EST).
The title track of “RECORD OF YOUTH,” titled ‘luv luv luv’, falls under the synthwave music genre and showcases a cool and refreshing sound with addictive vocal sampling. Written and composed by GreatGuys member DongIn in collaboration with NUVO, the song features a cheerful melody, heartfelt emotions, and witty lyrics and vocals.
The album also includes the B-side track ‘only U’, which was also written and composed by DongIn in collaboration with HOZE. This song incorporates familiar sounds with acoustic pianos and guitars, further enhanced by a simple yet addictive synthesizer theme. ‘only U’ is a fan song that carries a simple and soft melody along with a message of love and gratitude to the GreatGuys’ fandom, called “Grace.”
