CIX(씨아이엑스) drops their 8th EP ALBUM ‘GO Chapter 1 : GO Together’!
On September 8 at 6 PM KST (2:30 PM IST), CIX released their 8th EP album ‘GO Chapter 1 : GO Together’ along with the music video for the title track ‘니가 궁금해 (WONDER YOU)’ on YouTube.
‘GO Chapter 1: Go Together’ features a total of four songs, each carrying a distinct story. ‘S.O.S’ is an up-tempo track that captures the desperate search for salvation and the reasoning behind seeking an answer. ‘UPSTANDER’ serves as a counterpoint to ‘Bystander’ from CIX’s second mini-album ‘HELLO Chapter 2. Hello, Strange Place’—while the earlier track reflects guilt in avoiding others’ struggles, ‘UPSTANDER’ emphasizes the value of stepping forward and leaning on one another. ‘환상 속의 그대 (IN MY DREAMS),’ a medium-tempo ballad that conveys endless yearning for ideals within a mysterious, dreamy atmosphere. ‘WONDER YOU’ is an energetic pop track that blends diverse rhythms and instruments. It lyrically expresses the yearning and curiosity to uncover the most desirable remedies in life.
Since their debut, CIX has been recognized for crafting a unique and evolving narrative through their music and concepts. With this album, the group introduces the ‘GO’ series, expanding CIX’s conceptual ambitions. Inspired by Dante Alighieri’s ‘Divine Comedy’, CIX’s series—‘HELLO’, ‘OK’, and now ‘GO’—expand on their intricate world-building. The ‘GO’ series acts as the narrative bridge that ties together the earlier chapters while continuing to explore profound themes of sin, salvation, and the essence of love. Through this storyline, CIX conveys a deeper message of understanding and conviction.
BX, leader and main rapper of the group, contributed to the composition and lyrics of ‘니가 궁금해 (WONDER YOU),’ as well as the lyrics for ‘S.O.S’ and ‘UPSTANDER.’ Speaking about the album, he shared, “CIX is back with the eighth EP, GO Chapter 1 : GO Together! As we worked diligently on our new album, I’m very curious and excited to see our fans’ reaction to our new songs and concept images. All members also worked out a lot to showcase a new charm that we’ve never shared as CIX before! I believe our fans will enjoy following our storyline as we launch a new album series. I hope you give lots of love and support for this album!”
HYUNSUK added, “For this album, we poured extra care into choreography. We received multiple samples and shared many ideas among ourselves, trying to find the best choreography for our performance. There was a lot of love and care throughout the preparation process. In addition, this album is deeply connected to our lore, so I think you’ll be able to enjoy it even more if you focus on every lyric and the music video. We hope you enjoy listening to and show much love to our album, GO Chapter 1 : GO Together!”
This marks CIX’s first comeback in seven months since ‘THUNDER FEVER’ in January, and their second comeback this year.
