The long wait is finally over for Carats as the self-produced idols, SEVENTEEN, are back with a head-bobbing bop!
After a series of hints and music video teasers, SEVENTEEN finally reveals the full music video for their new album title track ‘Left & Right’ today, June 22. ‘Left & Right’ is the title track for their seventh mini-album ‘Heng:garæ’.
The song is a message from SEVENTEEN to their fans to always do their best and confidently go for whatever they aim for and that they will do it together with them. It is both an encouragement and assurance from the boy group.
SEVENTEEN is all about optimism in this comeback. As the boy group’s leader S. Coups said, “I hope that all the youth out there who are facing challenges and struggling with worries can gain strength after listening to our album,” according to Soompi.
The album’s name, ‘Heng:garæ’, is from the Korean word for a group of people tossing someone in the air and it represents their desire to go up using their strength amidst the uncertainties of youth.
One of the members of SEVENTEEN, Woozi, is known for producing and composing most of the songs of the group, with the help of their main producer, BUMZU. However, Carats were even more thrilled when they found out that another member, Vernon, was also credited for taking part in writing the lyrics for the title track ‘Left & Right’.
Aside from the title track Left & Right, their seventh mini-album also includes five other tracks, Fearless, I Wish, My My, Kidult, and Together. Before the title track was released, a music video for their album track ‘My My’ was released on June 11. It was part of the promotion for their upcoming album.
Proving the success of their promotions, the group recently made the headlines for breaking their personal record with over 1.06 million stock pre-orders for the new album.
