One reason why we listen to music—may it be K-pop or any other genre—is for us to relieve stress and get our much-needed dose of comfort. The music industry is full of talented personalities but it’s always nice to see young artists entering the scene with their new sound: Aside from having songs that can turn into an anthem, these performers create a *special* connection with those who are listening to them. Undeniably, TXT is one of the leading fourth-generation K-pop groups that ticks these boxes off with their amazing discography.
TOMORROW X TOGETHER or simply TXT, which debuted in 2019, is composed of five individuals who "come together under one dream in hopes of building a new tomorrow." From the start, Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai have continuously brought magic to the lives of their MOAs (or Moments Of Alwaysness—their official fandom name). Dubbed as "healing idols," TXT understands the struggles of the younger generation who seek comfort through relatable music. With their top-tier visuals, synchronized choreography, soothing vocals, plus a touch of a magical alternate universe, TXT is definitely a group that’s hard not to love.
To assist you in your TXT journey, we have listed down tracks that are worthy of your time. While it's definitely not an easy job to make the list short (considering their flawless discography), these songs that made the cut will allow you to see TXT from a whole new perspective.
TXT Songs For New Fans
1. "9 And Three Quarters – Run Away"
After two delays for their first comeback, TXT surely did not disappoint when they released "9 And Three Quarters – Run Away" as the title track for their first studio album, The Dream Chapter: MAGIC. The boys have already shown their potential during their rookie days, but this track’s stellar production and creative storyline made TXT’s unquestionable talent and musicality shine even brighter. As a bonus, this song is something that Potterheads would surely enjoy—with references to magic and the title itself alluding to the famous train platform from the best-selling series.
"Oh that dark night, at the bottom of those stairs
The magic began the moment I saw you
Let’s make a magic spell out of your tears
So that there will be no more tears"

Got a horn on me all of a sudden
Would there be light? Even for the devils?
And then your wings were spread in front of my eyes"

The sun is down before you disappear into the night
I take you into my eyes"

Blooming gold season, like our summer
No matter where you are, no matter what season
If we’re together, feel like summer"
