TOMORROW X TOGETHER unveil tracklisting and striking visuals for mini album 7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns
TXT have rolled out the full tracklist and a series of cinematic concept photos for their eighth mini album, setting the stage for a bold new chapter in their seventh year together.
TOMORROW X TOGETHER have cranked up excitement for their upcoming release by revealing the tracklist and a fresh batch of concept photos for 7TH YEAR: A Moment of Stillness in the Thorns.
The K-pop group shared the details across their social platforms, all tied together by the album’s thorn motif, which appears throughout the visuals.
The six‑track project features Bed of Thorns, Stick With You, Take Me to Nirvana (feat. Vinida Weng), So What, 21st Century Romance and Dream of Mine, each track forming part of a narrative about choices, doubt and the push toward what comes next.
Lead single Stick With You leans into electro‑pop with a punchy chorus and a vintage 909 drum sound sharpened by techno‑punk touches.
The song follows someone clinging to a relationship on the verge of ending, mirroring the group’s own determination to keep chasing their ambitions as they enter their seventh year together.
Bed of Thorns opens the album with a nod to accepting the fallout of one’s decisions, while Take Me to Nirvana captures the rush that comes with finally letting go of uncertainty.

So What tackles the anxieties built up over the years with a mix of honesty and humour, and 21st Century Romance sees the members tuning out the noise of modern life to follow their instincts.
Closer Dream of Mine leaves things on a hopeful edge, looking toward the future without knowing exactly what it holds.
Since early March, TXT have been teasing the release with a cinematic trailer and four sets of concept photos titled THORN, HUNGER, TENSION and ANXIETY. The THORN images use stark monochrome to suggest a moment of rebirth, while HUNGER contrasts calm, pajama‑clad portraits with thorn‑covered wreckage.
TENSION places the members beneath wallpaper that seems to bristle with thorns, and ANXIETY drops them into a surreal forest, hinting at acceptance and quiet resolve.
Fans won’t have to wait long for more: the album preview lands on April 6, followed by the Stick With You music‑video teaser on April 11.
The full mini album and the lead single’s video arrive on April 13 at 6 PM KST. TXT are also set to headline KCON LA 2026 on August 16 with a full hour‑long set.
