Full of sweets. TXT’s “Sugar Rush Ride” is one of our top songs of the year. The five-member K-Pop group released their EP The Name Chapter: Temptation on January 27, 2023, and we talked to them about the process and what temptation they give into the most.
TOMORROW X TOGETHER consists of SOOBIN, YEONJUN, BEOMGYU, TAEHYUN and HUENINGKAI. The group debuted on March 4, 2019, with the extended play The Dream Chapter: Star, and the lead single “CROWN.” They’re signed to Big Hit Entertainment which also houses K-Pop superstars BTS. Since their debut, they have had a total of 11 releases and won plenty of accolades, such as Best Asia Act at the 2022 MTV EMAS and Hero of the Year at the 2022 BandLab NME Awards.
Their third studio album The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE entered the Billboard 200 chart at Number 5, and they became the third male K-pop group in history to chart an album for nine consecutive weeks on the chart. Their latest EP mEpisode 2: Thursday’s Child debuted at Number 4 on the Billboard 200 and charted for 14 weeks. They’re widely known as K-Pop’s 4th Generation and Gen Z “It Boys.” Their fans are known as MOA, which stands for Moment of Alwaysness, adore the group and profess their messages of love and youthfulness, and TXT definitely gives their love back through song. The band also had a huge year as they became the first K-Pop group to perform at Lollapalooza in July 2022 and performed at Disneyland for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve to ring in 2023.
The Name Chapter: Temptation comes nine months after the release of their 2022 mini-album EP Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child. Their new EP follows their journey forward on the brink of adulthood despite obstacles and sweet temptations. “We know we have to grow but are tempted by the possibility of staying as we are and living freely day to day,” TAEHYUN tells StyleCaster. YEONJUN holds the same sentiment, “It’s our story yet again, so there are a lot of songs that show our musical color.”
The quintet gushed over their collaboration with American rapper Coi Leray on the song “Happy Fools.” “She’s so talented at rapping, and is an incredible and charming artist, as well as a great songwriter,” HUENINGKAI says. “I hope we can perform together in the States!”
The lead single of the EP “Sugar Rush Ride” is a multi-genre-filled banger that brings you down that swirling feeling of temptation and pulls you right in. “I can feel it I can’t resist it / That sweet devilish smile / You open / my locked door so easily / Oh my, I see the stars” YEONJUN and SOOBIN sing. So what tempts the five members? “Of course, our success.”

[Intro: Yeonjun]
Yeah, ah
Ayy, let’s go
[Verse 1: Beomgyu, Taehyun]
The thoughts soon stopped breathing
When you get back
My determination comes instantly undone
For you (ayy)
[Refrain: Huening Kai, Soobin, Taehyun]
Come a little closer (Ah-ah-ah, oh)
You whisper (Ah-ah-ah, oh)
Swallow
The sugar rush (Ah-ah-ah, oh)
Feast up in the night sky (Ah-ah-ah, oh)
Sweet desire (Ah-ah-ah, oh)
Taking me into the dream
The liar on the bedside
[Pre-Chorus: Yeonjun, Soobin]
I can feel it I can’t resist it
That sweet devilish smile
You open my locked door so easily
Oh my, I see the stars
The devil said

Gimme, gimme more
Gimme, gimme more

Sugar rush-ush, sugar rush-ush-uh, ah
Come here, more
Let’s play, more
[Verse 2: Huening Kai, Taehyun]
You’re so addictive
My veins full of sweets
The forbidden lines slowly
Fade away
This daze-like anemia
But I prefer it that way
Every cell under my skin
Becomes more sensitive
[Refrain: Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Huening Kai]
Come a little closer (Ah-ah-ah, oh)
You whisper (Ah-ah-ah, oh)
Swallow
The sugar rush (Ah-ah-ah, oh)
Feast up in the night sky (Ah-ah-ah, oh)
Sweet desire (Ah-ah-ah, oh)
Taking me into the dream
The liar on the bedside
[Pre-Chorus: Taehyun, Soobin, Beomgyu]
I can feel it I can’t resist it
That sweet devilish smile
You open my locked door so easily
Oh my, I see the stars
The devil said

Gimme, gimme more (Gimme, gimme more)

You’re bad, you liar
What did you do to me, sugar (Oh, yeah)
Gimme, gimme more
Gimme, gimme more
It’s me who’s bad
I know this bad desire, sugar
Gimme, gimme more
Gimme, gimme more (More)
[Outro: Taehyun]
You’re bad, you liar
What did you do to me, sugar
