THE WORLD EP.2 : OUTLAW
THE WORLD EP.2 : OUTLAW (2023) casts ATEEZ as rebels waking up a controlled, emotionless world, with the chili-pepper swagger of BOUNCY (K-HOT CHILLI PEPPERS) as its title track. The vocabulary is darker and more dramatic than their earlier work: sacrifice, regret, desperate struggle, being swayed and taken from. Alongside it sit punchy colloquial expressions from the gunslinger and outlaw tracks, such as warnings, rules and things that are simply out of the question.
