The Chaos Chapter: FIGHT OR ESCAPE, Part 1
The first half of TXT's 2021 album The Chaos Chapter: FIGHT OR ESCAPE runs from the pop-punk title track LO$ER=LO♡ER to a song built on the 'balance game' of impossible either-or questions. The words are about losing, running away and distrusting romance, alongside very usable vocabulary for wishes, fairness and making a choice.
