With their first full album [ONF: MY NAME] and repackage album [CITY OF ONF], ONF, which has been breaking its own records with a unique identity and the phrase ‘hit song restaurant’, returns with a summer album that will take care of our summer. In their city where they shouted ‘youth and freedom’, ONF conveys a message that seems to pour a brilliant summer on us, saying ‘even if the ice age returns, we will always be together’ with their unique perspective.
 
This summer popup album includes various genres of songs that express different summer stories, filled with the voices and colors of ONF's six members, allowing us to experience various feelings of summer. The title track ‘Summer Popping’ is a dance song with the theme ‘you and I falling into summer’, reinterpreted in the Funky Disco genre. This song, showcasing ONF's carbonated drink-like refreshing voices and energy, is expected to become a steady summer song that comes to mind every summer. Other tracks include ‘Summer Poem’ with a Bossa Nova rhythm themed “the poem of our youth that you and I write together”, ‘Summer Shape’ written on the theme that everyone meets different shapes of summer, ‘Dry Ice’ born from a special collaboration with the famous composing team 13 known for their work with many K-pop artists like JO1, IZ*ONE, and Taemin, and ‘Summer End’, a city pop genre that captures the bittersweet feelings at the end of summer and the mindset of preparing for what comes next. The album also contains delicate stories that make us look forward to ONF's next steps.
 
In the sweltering summer, let’s dive into the story filled with ONF's identity, as they create high-quality storytelling with every album!
 
01. Summer Popping
Composed by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree)
Lyrics by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree), WYATT (ONF)
Arranged by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree)
 
‘Summer Popping’, reinterpreted in the K-pop genre, is a dance song with the theme ‘you and I falling into summer’. The refreshing voices of the members like a carbonated drink in midsummer blend with the flute in the drop part, delivering a refreshing summer vibe. The change in atmosphere when the intro melody, which is sung over a simple piano accompaniment, is repeated in the latter part is a key point that drives the narrative of this song.
 
02. Summer Poem
Composed by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree), MK (ONF)
Lyrics by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree), WYATT (ONF)
Arranged by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree)
 
“Summer Poem” sings about the moment of confession while strolling through the city on a summer night, maintaining the Bossa Nova rhythm while being newly arranged with modern instruments. It presents a new sound of bossa nova, which originally means new wave.
 
03. Summer Shape
Composed by Son Go Eun (MonoTree)
Lyrics by Son Go Eun (MonoTree)
Arranged by Hwang Hyun, Jun_P (MonoTree)
 
“Summer Shape” is written on the theme ‘just as everyone has different shapes of heart, the shapes of summer we meet may also be diverse’. It strives to capture each member's voice clearly without a chorus. To create a different color from a typical ballad, Spring Reverb was used on the vocals, and the basic instrumental arrangement was composed as a jazz trio. The participation of pianist Jun_P further enhanced the song's completeness.
 
04. Dry Ice
Composed by SCORE (13), Megatone (13), Inner Child, Hwang Hyun (MonoTree), MK (ONF)
Lyrics by GDLO (MonoTree), WYATT (ONF), Inner Child (MonoTree)
Arranged by SCORE (13), Megatone (13)
 
Like the contrasting track atmosphere of the swirling drop part and the loose reggae part, ‘Dry Ice’ is used as a material that makes the surroundings cold but is hot to the touch. The song ends with a coda that seems to have a hidden next story after the second verse, rather than a typical three-verse structure, differentiating it from conventional popular music. The collaboration with the famous composing team 13, known for their work with many K-pop artists like JO1, IZ*ONE, and Taemin, has become a synergy that further shines ONF.
 
05. Summer End
Composed by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree)
Lyrics by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree), WYATT (ONF)
Arranged by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree)
 
This city pop song captures the bittersweet feelings at the end of summer and the mindset of calmly preparing for what comes next. The emotional vocals of the members convey the message that when we meet the next summer, we hope our trajectory will be present in that unfamiliar future.
