Generation

* MV
* Digital Album Cover

**"Generation"** is the second track featured on Acid Angel from Asia's first mini album, *ACCESS*. It serves as the album's title track.

## Description

"Generation" is a song about a girl from the current generation who loves taking selfies and TikTok/Instagram without putting down her cellphone wherever she goes. The song and accompanying music video depicts the way the 'first generation' played, where the boundaries between the online self and the real self blurred. Through the brass sections and addictive, catchy chorus you get an 'acid taste' which is neither sweet nor salty. EL CAPITXN and Vendors (Nano), who worked on songs from artists such as IU and BTS were the main composers and arrangers for the piece, alongside lyric composition with Jaden Jeong. Choi Hyo-je, who is in charge of choreographing for NCT and The Boyz is responsible for the "Generation" choreo, increasing the level of perfection to fit the vibe of a 'new generation'.

Background vocals and ad-libs were provided by ADORA.

Swipin’ every moment
Can never get enough
Never-ending circles
Can’t get you off my mind

난 아직 나를 모르지만, oh yeah
거짓된 healing
겁없이 올라 하늘 높이
And falling in, falling in love
입에 하나 물어버린 ice cream
내 맘 속에 녹아버리니
끝이 없이 빠져드는 daydream
환상 속의 미로

Swipin’ every moment

Truth’s got a feelin’
But I’m not sure what it’s like, oh yeah
Lies are even healing
I’m high up in the sky
And falling in, falling in love
In my mouth, I got an ice cream
As it melts deep into my heart
Endlessly I’m falling in a daydream
The maze of illusions
Me-in-you, that’s a mirror, ooh yeah

La, la-la, la, la-la, la, la-la (TikTok up)
La, la-la, la, la-la, la, la-la (Hoo)
La, la-la, la, la-la, la, la-la
La, la-la, la, la-la, la, la-la

We’re here in this together
The way it’s all disordered
The décadence is where it’s at
I jump inside, generation
Right now we are together
With all the weird sensations
Even if we break apart
In this dream, we are a generation

Wah-woo, wah-woo, ah, ah, ah
Feelin’ high, cause you’re my type
From attention, your eyes and to your heart
Wah-woo, wah-woo, ah, ah, ah
Must be a dream
This sweetness, we’re a generation
