Blue Valentine

Blue Valentine (2025) is NMIXX's first full-length album. Its title track and several songs around it describe a love that runs hot and cold — bruises, fevers, arguments over nothing — while "Crush On You" is plain giddy infatuation and the two "O.O" parts return to the group's dare-you-to-follow energy. The vocabulary is strong on relationship Korean: blaming, clashing, getting mixed up, getting sick of something, and understanding each other anyway.
