At 10 p.m. on the 21st, BOYNEXTDOOR first unveiled a portion of the new song audio from their 1st Studio Album Repackage, “HOME: DELUXE,” through the official HYBE LABELS YouTube channel. In the video, portions of all five songs were revealed, including the title track of “HOME: DELUXE,” “ANIMAL,” as well as the new songs “CLICHE,” “Count To Love (Korean Ver.),” “Boom Boom Boom,” and “400 Years.” BOYNEXTDOOR takes on electro-funk for the first time with “ANIMAL,” delivering powerful energy. It is a song that contains the will to continuously surpass oneself and move toward a better tomorrow, and it expresses the attitude of tirelessly pushing forward in order to obtain what one wants by likening it to the dynamic movements of animals. In addition to Jaehyun, Taesan, and Woonhak being named in the credits, ZICO, the representative producer and artist of KOZ Entertainment, participated in the song’s production. Furthermore, Pop Time and kako, who have continuously worked together with the members, were in charge of production. The included track “CLICHE” is a disco track that likens the situation of falling in love without even realizing it to a “cliché.” “Count To Love (Korean Ver.)” is the Korean version of the title track of the JP 2nd Single “BOYLIFE,” released in August 2025, and is a song that lets listeners feel a love full of excitement. The JP 2nd Digital Single “Boom Boom Boom” contains the message of drawing out one’s own irreplaceable story without regret. “400 Years” is the group’s first fan song, which was released on the official YouTube channel in January 2024, and is now being officially released as audio through this album. In addition, with the nine songs included on the 1st Studio Album “HOME” added, a total of 14 tracks can be enjoyed. “HOME: DELUXE,” to be released at 6 p.m. on the 28th, is a work that sings of the will to go beyond the familiar space of “HOME” and expand the range of musical expression with new perspectives and emotions. Expectations are rising for the new music delivered by the six members, who continue to steadily grow. On the 24th, they plan to release a teaser video for the “ANIMAL” music video, further heightening the excitement for the comeback.
