## Description

* English
* Korean

"No flower blooms without struggle."

The title track "In Bloom" is a Drum & Bass genre song which combines vintage sensibility and trendiness and encapsulates the concept of the album "YOUTH IN THE SHADE," which represents the beauty of youth as well as its insecurities. ZEROBASEONE expresses their will to run towards "you" although they are still imperfect and immature, taking the first step which is more beautiful and meaningful because their is an end to everything. Paying homage to the main riff of the world-renowned band A-Ha's "Take On Me", the hook's fast tempo creates the peak of the song's refreshing and cheerful mood, while the slow melody and vocals add the weight of youth.

"흔들리지 않고 피어난 꽃은 없어"

타이틀곡 'In Bloom'은 빈티지한 감성과 트렌디함이 공존하는 드럼 앤드 베이스(Drum & Bass) 장르로, 청춘의 찬란함과 그 이면의 불안정함을 그려낸 앨범 'YOUTH IN THE SHADE'의 정체성을 고스란히 담아낸 곡이다. 끝이 있기에 더욱 아름답고 의미 있는 첫걸음을 내딛는 ZEROBASEONE이 아직은 불완전하고 미숙하지만 '너'를 향해 달려가겠다는 의지를 표현했다. 세계적인 밴드 A-Ha의 'Take On Me'의 메인 리프를 오마주해 질주하듯 빠른 템포로 전개되는 후크로 청량하고 경쾌한 무드를 고조시켰고, 느리게 이어지는 멜로디와 보컬로 청춘 이면의 무게를 더했다.

아침이 와
어제와 달라진 눈부신 light
눈을 뜨면 (눈을 뜨면)
움츠렸던 꽃잎은 피어나

가장 아름답게
세상을 다 물들여도
영원한 건 없대
결국엔 모두 시들 테니

난 운명조차, change
널 향해 on my way
놓치지 않게 chase
Yeah, it's all because of you

난 그저 모르는 체
반복해 day after day
결말은 변함없대도
난 달려갈게
난 믿어 내 안의 faith
모든 게 변해갈 때
내 가장 눈부신 지금
너에게 줄게

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
My day, 시작과 끝은 너
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
너에게 줄게

흔들리지 않고 피어난
꽃은 없어 너도 알잖아
오지 않은 내일은 생각 안 할래
너만 생각할게

가장 아름답게
세상을 다 물들여도
영원한 건 없대
결국엔 모두 시들 테니

난 운명조차, change
널 향해 on my way

난 그저 모르는 체 (모르는 체)
반복해 day after day (Yeah, yeah)
결말은 변함없대도
난 달려갈게
난 믿어 내 안의 faith
모든 게 변해갈 때
내 가장 눈부신 지금
너에게 줄게

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
My day, 시작과 끝은 너
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
너에게 줄게

힘겹게 뗀 내 첫걸음이
떨려온대도
멈출 수 없어 for you and me
Ooh-woah, oh, oh-oh-oh

널 향해 매일 더 달릴수록 멈출 수 없어질 걸
알고도 겁 없이 뛰어들어 더 깊이 빠져들어
네 입술 끝에 꽃피운 my name, 영원히 지지 않게
불러줄래 'cause you're my way (Come on)

난 그저 모르는 체 (Ooh-ooh-oh, oh, yeah)
반복해 day after day
결말은 변함없대도
난 달려갈게 (달려갈게)
I'll give you every first
처음이자 마지막 love
내 가장 눈부신 지금
너에게 줄게 (I'll give you love)

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
My day 시작과 끝은 너 (Never change)
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh)
다 네게 줄게

'Cause of you, oh-oh
Yeah, it's you

## English

The sun rises
It's a new day, the dazzling sunlight hits my eyes
As I open them (As I open my eyes)
The flower that was once withered came back to bloom

Even the most beautiful, precious things
That can shine even through the darkness
End up withering, fading away
Nothing lasts forever

But I can change that, my fate
Running towards you, I'm on my way
I won't lose hold of you
Yeah, it's all because of you

Whenever I close my eyes
I replay the same day after day
Even if it's the same ending everytime
I will keep running towards you
I believe in my faith, you
Even if everything around us changes
The highlight of my life and my reason to keep going
Is you

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
My day begins and ends with you
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll give my all to you

No flower blooms without struggle
We all know
Tomorrow is yet to come, but that's not on my mind
All I think about is you

Even the most beautiful, precious things
That can shine even through the darkness
End up withering, fading away
Nothing lasts forever

But I can change that, my fate
Running towards you, I'm on my way

Whenever I close my eyes (whenever)
I replay the same day after day (Yeah, yeah)
Even if it's the same ending everytime
I will keep running towards you
I believe in my faith, you
Even if everything around us changes
The highlight of my life and my reason to keep going
Is you

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
My day begins and ends with you
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll give my all to you

Taking my first step wasn't easy
But even if it becomes staggering
I can't stop me for you and me
Ooh-woah, oh, oh-oh-oh

The more I run to you everyday, the harder it becomes to stop
I'm aware, but I dive in with no fear, fallin' even deeper
On your lips, my name blossomed, don't let it ever perish
Keep calling it 'cause you're my way (Come on)

Whenever I close my eyes (Ooh-ooh-oh, oh, yeah)
I replay the same day after day
Even if it's the same ending everytime
I will keep running towards you (running towards you)
I'll give you every first
The very first and very last love
The highlight of my life and my reason to keep going
Is you (I'll give you love)

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
My day begins and ends with you (Never change)
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh)
I'll give my all to you

'Cause of you, oh-oh
Yeah, it's you
