## Description

* English
* Korean

> A.C.E returned with a new collaboration single in three months after the “Fav Boyz” with Steve Aoki in January. Unlike the existing powerful sound and stage, A.C.E is presented to fans around the world with pop that contains a fluttering feeling with a soft, popping sound. This song, in collaboration with US artist Gray, is a pop genre, and the lyrics are all in English.
> Down will be a special gift for pop fans and K-pop fans with Gray's first K-pop collaboration, who participated in featuring and producing. In addition, recording engineer Tom Norris, who won a Grammy Award for'Rain on me' -Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande in 2021, improved the sound quality.

> After the ‘Post Apocalypse’ of the ‘Fav Boyz’ MV, a collaboration with Steve Aoki, Tom Norris expressed the worries and youth of ‘ordinary daily life’ in a bright and hopeful world with A.C.E's own feelings. The ‘Flower (Hope)’ that the members of the ‘Fav Boyz’ MV have been looking for exists anywhere in the space where Ace shows various emotions, and the ‘Flower (Hope)’ gathered together, suggesting a more hopeful present and future. You can see a lot of cute and bright appearances of the members that you haven't seen in the existing A.C.E MV.

> 스티브 아오키와의 콜라보레이션 ‘Fav Boyz’ 뮤비의 ‘포스트 아포칼립스’ 이후 밝고 희망에 찬 세상에 ‘평범한 일상’의 고민과 청춘을A.C.E (에이스)만의 느낌으로 표현했다. ‘Fav Boyz’ 뮤비에 멤버들이 찾던 ‘꽃(희망)’이 어디든 존재하는 공간에서 에이스가 여러 감정을 보여주면서 가득 모인 ‘꽃(희망)’과 함께 더욱 희망찬 현재와 미래를 암시하며 마무리된다. 기존 에이스 뮤비에서 보지 못한 멤버들의 귀엽고, 밝은 모습들을 많이 볼 수 있다.
