K-pop boy band Seventeen released their first English-language song “Darl+ing” on April 15, a prelude to their fourth studio album that will be out in May.
“Darl+ing” is built on a sweet-sounding but addictive chorus and an enthralling line of synths and is an eloquent expression of the Seventeen’s admiration for the idea of “togetherness.”
The song is also a self-produced track. Seventeen’s Woozi took part in producing the single, credited for both its lyrics and composition.
The music video for “Darl+ing” is packed with ethereal aesthetics and hints about stories to follow. The video shows the 13 members traverse past an idyllic world that overflows with light and venture into a state of darkness, piquing curiosity around the forthcoming full-length album.
Seventeen will present the very first performance of “Darl+ing” on MTV Fresh Out Live.
The idol group’s collaborative project with Apple is also being launched in time for the release. The K-pop creatives and Apple embarked on the first K-pop Today at Apple Remix session today in Korea.
During the 60-minute sessions to be held initially in Apple stores in Korea and then across Asia, attendees will discover more about the band’s creative process and be guided to create a one-of-a-kind remix of “Darl+ing” using GarageBand and Apple’s devices.
