Lee Chaeyeon from IZ*ONE has made her comeback. According to her agency DayOneDream, Lee Chaeyeon released her 4th mini-album "Till I Die" today (28th) at 6 PM through various music distribution sites, entering into full-fledged comeback activities. The new work "Till I Die" expresses the moments on stage when she feels most alive, along with the various emotions and inner feelings that arise from it, in a color unique to Lee Chaeyeon. It centers around a growth story of facing the wounds hidden behind the glamour and establishing her own direction while overcoming them. Especially since this is her first album presented under the new label DayOneDream, we can catch a glimpse of her deep musical evolution and solid identity as she leaps from "the self to show" to "the true self." The title track "No Tears On The Dancefloor" is a new disco dance-pop genre with a retro mood, depicting both sadness and overflowing emotions through cinematic production and emotional melodies. It portrays a dual aspect of being the protagonist of a perfect and glamorous stage while dancing with hidden inner wounds and pain. It carries a strong message of not letting go of the stage even in moments of shaking and crumbling, continuing her own dance and song with dignity. Additionally, the album is packed with diverse tracks that prove her expanded musical spectrum. It includes the Y2K hip-hop dance track "Know About Me," which declares her presence on stage while radiating her true charm, the electro dance-pop "I'm Waiting" that expresses hope for the future with self-trust, the hip-hop dance track "BAD" that moves forward without hesitation in her own way, and the R&B pop "How Are You" that calmly expresses feelings about the distance left by the passage of time and past connections, totaling five songs. Beyond being an excellent performer, Lee Chaeyeon continues to complete and prove her existence as an "all-round artist" shining brightly on diverse rhythms and tempos.
