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 minisode 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
[Chorus: Yeonjun, Huening Kai, Beomgyu, Soobin]

Ha
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
[Chorus: Beomgyu, Yeonjun, Soobin, Taehyun]
Ha
Ha
Gimme, gimme more
Gimme, gimme more (Gimme, gimme more)

[Post-Chorus: Huening Kai, Beomgyu, Taehyun, Yeonjun]
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

생각은 곧 숨을 멈췄어
When you get back
내 다짐 따윈 한순간 풀어 헤쳐져
네겐 (Ayy)
[Refrain: Huening Kai, Soobin, Taehyun]
Come a little closer (Ah-ah-ah, oh)
넌 속삭여 (Ah-ah-ah, oh)
삼켜버려
The sugar rush (Ah-ah-ah, oh)
밤하늘에 향연 (Ah-ah-ah, oh)
Sweet desire (Ah-ah-ah, oh)
꿈에 데려가는
침대맡에 liar
[Pre-Chorus: Yeonjun, Soobin]
I can feel, 거부할 수가 없어
달콤한 그 devilish smile
넌 능숙히 잠긴 내 문을 열어
어떡해 저 별이 보여

[Verse 2: Huening Kai, Taehyun]
You’re so addictive
내 혈관은 full of sweets
금지된 선들이 희미하게
사라져 가지
빈혈 같은 이 daze
오히려 그게 좋아 난
살갗 아래 모든 세포가 더
예민해져 가
[Refrain: Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Huening Kai]
