NCT DREAM is back with their fifth mini-album DREAM( )SCAPE and the music video for the title track “Smoothie” released on March 25th at 6 p.m. KST!
The title song is a groovy hip-hop dance song with an 808 bassline, snare rhythm, and repetitive chanting. It wittily conveys the confident message that the world’s cold gaze toward you and your negative feelings about yourself will be blended into a smoothie.
It was composed by producer Harold ‘Alawn’ Philippon, former idol and ex-B.I.G member Benji Bae, and musician Robbie Jay who have all previously worked with NCT’s various units before. Meanwhile, lyricist Na Do Yeon of 153/Joombas and Bang Hye Hyun of Jam Factory participated in writing “Smoothie.”
DREAM( )SCAPE marks the start of a new music series for the group, breaking away from the existing NCT DREAM image with a more mature and deeper message. Notably, all seven members actively participated in the planning and production to create a more relatable narrative of youth and growth across six unique tracks.
