B.I explained, “It’s a different genre from what we used to do. It’s an exciting track, but the lyrics are sad and lonely. The song is like a reply to a letter. Please focus on the commonly used phrase, ‘Killing Me’”.
iKON’s upcoming mini album ‘NEW KIDS:CONTINUE’ will be released on August 2. It will be the final edition of the trilogy series following ‘NEW KIDS:BEGIN’ released last year on May and ‘RETURN’ released back in January, and contains the meaning of continuing their passion and hard work.
