Rising K-pop group TWS has shared a sneak peek of their upcoming single album, Last Bell, ahead of its release on November 25.
On November 20, TWS released a highlight medley video on the HYBE Labels YouTube channel, featuring snippets from the album’s three tracks: title song Last Festival, Your Name, and Draw a Comma Instead of a Period. Accompanied by the group’s charming official characters, the medley’s vibrant visuals set the tone for what promises to be a nostalgic yet refreshing winter release.
A New ‘Winter Anthem’ in the Making
The title track, Last Festival, showcases TWS’s signature blend of bright, sophisticated melodies with ethereal synth textures and celebratory sounds like fireworks, evoking the magical essence of winter festivities. The song’s storyline centers around the bittersweet preparation of a farewell festival for a special someone.
Notably, the song borrows a nostalgic lyric, “Remember the warmth of our hearts,” from Seo Taiji and Boys’ 1993 hit of the same name. TWS reinterprets the sentiment through their own unique musical lens, crafting a modern “winter anthem” with fresh energy and perspective.
According to their agency, Pledis Entertainment, Last Festival represents a pivotal moment for TWS. “This song marks a turning point for the group in many ways,” they shared. “We’re excited to show 42 [the group’s fandom] a side of TWS they’ve never seen before.”
Thoughtful Storytelling Across Tracks
Though only a single album, Last Bell features a cohesive storyline that amplifies its impact. The opening track, Your Name, captures the moment of realizing deeper feelings for a close friend before an impending farewell, while the closing track, Draw a Comma Instead of a Period, conveys hope for enduring connections, bringing the album’s theme full circle.
Building Anticipation for the Comeback
TWS’s Last Bell will drop on November 25 at 6 PM KST. To amplify the excitement, the group is set to attend the MAMA Awards on November 21 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, where they will engage with global fans and deliver a powerful performance. Fans are eagerly awaiting the group’s new chapter, which promises both emotional depth and musical innovation.
