BTOB 4u outside


K-pop group BTOB encourages people to overcome troubles and concerns in real life through the title track "Outsider."

On August 30, BTOB finally released their special album '4U: OUTSIDE,' along with the music video for the lead single "Outsider."

"Outsider" is described as a Neo Funk/Neo Soul track which once again engraves the endless musical spectrum of BTOB to the public.

While they have been delivering heartwarming comfort and love to many people through their songs until now, this time they are conveying a message encouraging people to overcome troubles and concerns in real life through their title track "Outsider," evoking empathy from those who are fatigued by their daily lives.

"It's not about the usual meaning of 'outsider,' but rather that you want to break outside the routine patterns of everyday life and become stronger. It's a healing song," Eun-kwang said in an online press interview.

According to BTOB, the term "outsider" in the song is to escape from the repetitive pattern of life, and set yourself free to be stronger and realize your self-worth.

Their comeback album '4U: OUTSIDE' contains six tracks, including title track "Outsider." It is followed by an uplifting dance song "Dreamer" and an electronic pop track with a heavy bass sound "Can't Breathe." With "Traveler," BTOB got more mellow and heartwarming.

The album ended with "Waiting 4 U," and the upbeat song "Finale (Show and Prove)."
