Hello Melolights!
I know it’s been a long while since I’ve
done a blog on here. I’ve been meaning
to but usually I just don’t have the time or
energy. Of course this is a special
occasion, it being BTOB’s 10th anniversary!
For those of you who don’t know me, BTOB
is my ultimate bias group. This is the group
that got me into KPOP in late 2014.
And this is their first comeback as a ‘full’
group again and I am excited to be doing
a review of the album.
Let’s go!

i. Intro: The Trace
There isn’t much to this intro, however
it does set the mood for the title track.
Honestly it’s best to listen with your eyes
closed taking in all the sounds and letting
your imagination take over.
ii. The Song
BTOB has done it again! They brought us
another soothing ballad that just hits deep.
It’s filled with beautiful harmonies and
memories as they reference past songs,
such as Beautiful Pain, It’s Okay, Only One
For Me, and Missing You. Let’s not forget
they also mention us ‘Melody’ their fans.
The MV is very simplistic yet still is very
powerful. Both the song and MV feels
like a love letter to Melody as we all
reminisce over the past years as one. BTOB
definitely did not disappoint with this song.

iii. Blooming Day
We transition into another ballad for
Blooming Day with Hyunsik immediately
hitting you with his amazing vocals. This
song has much more intensity than our previous
one which comes through right when
Minhyuk’s rap starts in. The intensity
reaches its peak during the last chorus,
only to end with just Eunkwang’s beautiful
voice.
One thing that stood out the most is actually
the strings in the instrumental, they really hit
hard in all the right places.
iv. Be Together
The only word I can use to describe this
song is ‘Wholesome’ it’s such an uplifting
ballad. I can just see this in a musical (I’ve
been listening to a lot of them lately), where
the lead is professing their love and
promising that they will stand the test of time.

v. My Way
Our first hip-hop/R&B inspired track is a
catchy song that makes me wish I could
snap XD. In this song it’s Peniel’s rap that
really stands out, including his little
”Changsub hyung!” they include during
Changsub’s verse. It’s funny because in my
opinion Changsub’s voice fits the best in
this type of song.
The message of this song to never give
up on your dreams and make your own
path in life. A message which I think fits
the group perfectly as they
never gave up despite not getting a 1st win
until 3 years after their debut and they
aren’t like most other groups out there.
vi. Whiskey
When it comes to this track it’s no question
as to who composed it. I’ll it the first
few seconds of this song threw me off
guard and until Minhyuk came in hard with
his verse I wasn’t feeling it. However, I was
quickly sucked into it as the song progressed.
I do still find Peniel’s first verse a bit jarring
starting at 1:24, I’m not sure it was necessary
to put into the song but it isn’t enough to
stop me from digging this song and jamming
to it. I love how all the add a little
raspiness to their voices to fit with the
sensualness if the song.

vii. Interlude: Re
We once again bring everything back down
for this short interlude composed by Hyunsik.
It’s a nice break in the album and a great
transition into the next track.
viii. Lonely
While this song is about not being able to forget
one you love, it still hit home for me with
the lyrics “I am so lonely,” because I know
that feeling and I deeply identified with
that line in the song.
Once again the strings in this song are very
prominent adding to the intensity of this song.
ix. Dance With Me
While this song doesn’t sound as sensual
as ‘Whiskey’ the lyrics of the song definitely
have a sensual undertone. Add this on top of
a catchy acoustic guitar, it’s instantly a hit.
It’s probably going to be one of my top songs
on this album, I honestly can’t wait for the
stage performance of this song.

x. Higher
I LOVE ballads! Especially BTOB ballads, it’s
partly why BTOB is my favorite group,
however I it BTOB is made to do
rock songs. They don’t do them often but
when they do it’s AMAZING. This song will
most definitely take you ‘higher’ with
it’s insane electric guitar/bass and the crazy
high vocals.
xi. Thank You
The lyrics for this song might make this song
my favorite on the album. It’s such a sweet
song with a jazzy sounding piano yet it
teaches an important life lesson; life is too
short, stop comparing what you have to
others and be thankful for the ‘little’ things
in life. I think with that alone the song speaks
for itself.

xii. It’s All Good
Another sweet sounding song that leaves
a powerful message, yet this song ended
up in me shedding tears. Just like with
’Lonely’ I really ended up identifying with
the lyrics of this song. It’s basically saying
that it’s alright not to have everything figured
out so don’t sweat it and don’t give up. I’ve
honestly felt so lost in my life ever since I
graduated high school, I thought I’d figure
my life out in college but all it did was make
me realize I’ve never known what I’ve wanted
with my life and I still don’t know. BTOB
knows how to heal with their songs,
something I’m thankful for.
xiii. Outro: Encore
Goosebumps. I legit got goosebumps from
this. And again I cried. BTOB know how to
end an album. They are telling fans they are
here for us, just as they know we’re there for
them. They make us happy just as we make
them happy. We may not be able to meet
face to face but we are together. A beautiful
end to a high quality album, BTOB doesn’t disappoint.

As you can see I love this album. I’m so
proud of BTOB for giving us 10 years of
beautiful music and for staying true to
themselves. I’ve enjoyed seeing them
grow during all these years, I hope to see
more growth in the years to come.
P.S. I apologize to everyone I know this
isn’t my best work but it’s been so long so
I’m a bit rusty. Also the cover art was made
on Picsart and all gifs were made by me.
Don’t forget to BTOB. You can
listen to the full album here but please also stream
the official MV on their YouTube channel.
Thanks for reading!
Happy 10th Anniversary BTOB!

that's so relatable. sometimes you just have too much you would love to share with others, but can't find proper words for your reaction. or you don't even know what exactly you're actually feeling
and yes, i'm happy to find another person who adores them 🥺
Reply to: >> block b best boys :dolphin:
Yeah, they don’t get enough love from international Kpop fans, they grew a little more popular after Kingdom at least.
