NOWZ is signaling a bold shift toward their own signature hip-hop sound.
On the 19th, the group released an audio snippet for their third single Play Ball through their official channel, previewing all three tracks ahead of the full release.
The title track "HomeRUN" is an EDM-driven dance anthem that highlights the members' fearless rap delivery. It captures the spirit of youth turning an uncertain future into opportunity.
"GET BUCK," one of the B-sides, leans into an old-school hip-hop groove. The track promises heavy charisma and lyrics that express determination to keep running toward their goals despite countless challenges.
The track "In a World Without a Name" contrasts the first two with a medium-tempo sound, featuring warm lyrics, emotional vocals, and a layered ensemble that showcases the members' tonal blend.
Following their first mini album IGNITION released in July, NOWZ once again took part in the creative process. Siyoon is credited as a lyricist for "GET BUCK," while Jinhyuk contributed to the lyrics for "HomeRUN."
NOWZ will officially release their new single Play Ball on November 26 at 6 p.m.
