The new single captures the band's confidence in proving who they are to ‘you’ within just seven seconds. The uplifting melody and performance that accompanies the track underlines why TWS has been dubbed 'the rookie of 2024’ in the K-pop scene, even before the official debut.

After starting with strings that sample Robert Schumann's 'Kinderszenen', TWS sings ‘Time to say Hello!’ (translated as ‘Hello there, Time’) and the track takes a sharp turn with hard-hitting, invigorating bass and synths. TWS channels their gentle and yet ebullient energy into the refreshing melodies that define their musical style nicknamed ‘Boyhood Pop,’ and the song continues to evolve towards the climax, energized by a sonic twist after another.

The video kicks off with fresh-faced boys excited for their debut showcasing their performance in front of the likes of Master Professional Sung Soo Han of PLEDIS Entertainment, Chairman Bang Si-Hyuk of HYBE, SEVENTEEN and BUMZU. Then the six-piece act imagines themselves delivering a perfectly synchronized performance set against the backdrop of iconic landmarks around the world, unshakably eager and thrilled to capture the attention of the audience worldwide in those ‘seven seconds.’

The name ‘TWS’ is an abbreviation of 'TWENTY FOUR SEVEN WITH US,' bringing forward the expression ‘24/7’ to symbolize the members’ unwavering commitment to being with ‘you’ around the clock.

As the first boy group to make their debut with PLEDIS Entertainment in 9 years since the record-breaking K-pop icon SEVENTEEN, the excitement for TWS continues to rise. TWS’ debut mini album Sparkling Blue will be released at 6 PM on January 22 (KST).
