Background and release

[edit]

On June 4, 2015, Cube Entertainment announced that BTOB will be releasing their first studio album on June 29, 2015. This marks the start of BTOB's 2015 full-scale comeback activities. Ahead of comeback, BTOB notified the 180 degree different transformation of their style compared to previous promotions, with their first ever R&B ballad title-track "It’s Okay". "It's Okay" is expected to be reversal with a different level of BTOB's powerful vocal as weapon. They also stated that this transformation would show a more 'music influenced' side.[4]

"It's Okay" topped multiple music charts after its release, making it BTOB's first single to reach #1 on charts after 3 years of debut.[5][6]

Promotions

[edit]

On June 28, BTOB held a live showcase event for "Complete" via Naver Starcast. The group performed "It's Okay" and other tracks from the album for the first time.[7][8] On June 29, the group held a second comeback showcase hosted by labelmates, actor-model Na Jong-chan and CLC's Jang Ye-eun.[9] The group made their first official music show performance on MBC Music's Show Champion, performing the tracks "It's Okay" and "Giddy Up".[10] It was soon followed by performances on KBS's Music Bank, MBC's Show! Music Core and SBS's Inkigayo.

Composition

[edit]

The album starts off with the a cappella intro "Complete" produced by E.ONE. Followed by the lead single "It's Okay", which is a heartfelt R&B ballad. "Live Well Yourself" is a follow-up song for "It's Okay", and is a piano riff driven track. "My Friend's Girlfriend" is a new jack swing track about the unimaginable conflict between love and loyalty. "I Miss You" is an aggressive track with cute lyrics about the desire to see a loved one. "Giddy Up" is a dance track written by Seo Jae-woo, Big Sancho, Daniel Caesar and Ludwig Lindell. "Open" is a sexy track written and produced by member, Minhyuk. The album also includes an acoustic version of BTOB's debut single, "Insane", and a previously released party track "Shake It". "Shake It" is a disco-style electronic genre. The album ends with the outro by Ilhoon, "Everything's Good" which is a track with gentle flowing melody with piano music.[11][12]

Music video

[edit]

The music video for "It's Okay" was released on June 29, on BTOB's Official YouTube Channel. The music video follows a drama-format similar to story-telling. It features the members representing different careers: Ilhoon as a radio DJ, Hyunsik as an art student, Peniel as a firefighter, Sungjae as a hiker, Changsub as a delivery guy, Eunkwang as a student, and Minhyuk as unemployed guy, all struggling to reach their dreams.[13][14] On July 5, BTOB released a dance version for the music video, after reaching 1 million views for "It's Okay".[15]
