Boy group BE:FIRST will release their second album on August 28th.
2:BE will contain 16 songs, including the previously-released singles
Boom Boom Back,
Smile Again,
Mainstream and
Masterplan and their collaboration with K-pop group ATEEZ,
Hush-Hush. The eight new tracks will include three unit songs: Metamorphose, performed by SHUNTO and RYUHEI;
Genesis, performed by SOTA, JUNON and LEO; and Selfish, performed by MANATO and RYOKI. The members all co-wrote the lyrics for these unit songs along with various producers, with Genesis, in particular, being
co-written with VLOT and their labelmate, singer-songwriter Aile The Shota.
In addition, a new song from the album titled Blissful was just released digitally worldwide on August 12th. The song features lyrics penned by the group's producer SKY-HI, who also co-wrote the music alongside producers ZEN,
LOAR, Akun and Sunny and BE:FIRST members MANATO and LEO.
Links to download and stream Blissful on various music platforms are available here.
The music video for Blissful, which was just unveiled today, was filmed in New York. Filled with natural-looking shots of the members enjoying the local street culture and various locations they suggested like a basketball court, record shop and deli, the MV highlights their hobbies and special
skills and their friendship. This video marks BE:FIRST's first overseas MV shoot.
Moreover, it was recently announced that BE:FIRST will be performing the next ending theme for the long-running anime series "ONE PIECE." This is not their first tie-up with the franchise, as they previously released the song Set Sail as part of a collaboration with “ONE PIECE CARD GAME,” but it will be their first theme song for the anime itself.
More details on the new theme song will be announced this fall.
The music video for Blissful can be viewed below, along with live footage of another song featured on the album, Grow Up, that was recorded during their BE:FIRST LIVE in DOME 2024 “Mainstream – Masterplan”.
