A new world that PENTAGON invites you to is a space where a new definition of love is unfolded by PENTAGON, who realizes that love comes naturally, creates pieces of the moment, and flows somewhere again just as time passes.
Amid new love, PENTAGON grows and changes, and at the same time sings about the preciousness and sincerity of irreversible moments. This also means that the new album incorporates the capabilities of internally strengthened PENTAGON.
All 6 tracks written and composed by PENTAGON members genuinely illustrate their diversified musical colors and in-depth stories of their full-grown inner selves, adding to the authenticity of the tracks.
The title track "Feelin' Like" is a song that best expresses PENTAGON's new attitude and splendidly decorates the first chapter where another story of PENTAGON unveils. The trendy and rhythmic melody on top of the heavy beat that makes the heart bounce candidly presents PENTAGON's delicate and alluring vocals, creating a subtle addiction.
"Feelin' Like" will present stages with great quality through PENTAGON's mature and chic visuals that were not shown elsewhere, storytelling using various objects, as well as performances with chill movements and mood that stand out amidst intensity.
In particular, the new music video, which reinterprets the objects expressing 'temptation' in ancient artworks with a modern viewpoint, illustrates PENTAGON's seductive and powerful attraction that stimulates the five senses. Their unique charms make it inevitable for the viewers to accept their invitation.

Just like must-have condiments for tasty food, PENTAGON's bold and extraordinary attempts to cater to the public's taste continue. Alternative rock genre song "One Shot" is a track based on a stimulating and glamorous hard rock guitar riff that mesmerizes everyone's ears from the start.
This is an uplifting track with blasting energy that figuratively describes the desire to fearlessly go on a spree in a situation when there is only one last shot left to our lives. The theme, 'You' in the track "One Shot," allows listeners to imagine their own subject, and depending on who or what you think of, it enables the song to be more diverse with its meanings hence making it more amusing.

KINO and producer KimZion who has been trying different genres of music through songs such as "When It Rains In Night," "HAPPINESS KR Ver.," have joined forces together again. The friction of the lips while calling my name, that overwhelming tension at the specific moment is described in the song.

This song portrays a Ferris wheel at the center of a theme park on a beach where millions of stars are flowing in the sky. PENTAGON's member KINO participated in the writings of lyrics to highlight the nostalgic and emotional mood of the song.
"Sparkling Night" metaphorically illustrates the wistful feeling of when your time is up and have to get off at the end of the ride from a Ferris wheel but can't step off easily because of the beautiful scenery in front of with meeting and breaking up in the context of a relationship. Especially, in contrast to the ardent emotion, earnest lyrics on the warm and serene melody make the listeners focus deeper on the song.
