It attracted attention by showing exceptional achievements, such as ranking first on Thailand's iTunes, topping charts around the world, entering Spotify's Viral 50 chart, and recording more than 30 million cumulative streams. The free and energetic attitude that only they can pull off, as well as the solid quality of music and content, surprised the public. In addition, the overwhelming vocal skills and hip performances shown through various contents and stages were enough to raise public expectations and interest in their future activities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If the previous debut album talked about 'the process of gaining freedom by challenging limitations and trials', that is, 'freedom from the outside, free from external oppression', the second mini album talks about 'true freedom' through the keyword 'X'. KISS OF LIFE conveys the message that ‘freedom is freedom from within’ and tells it in its own way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “I was born as\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ‘X’, as he calls himself in this album, is a story about ‘something special that is not welcome’. The appearance of those who resist the existing order, dislike being trapped in a framework, have no hesitation in expressing themselves, go beyond wanting freedom, and are close to rebellion and revolution can be seen as a dangerous appearance that can easily cause misunderstanding in others.

In exchange for convenience, we lose freedom of perception and thinking, and the countless amounts of information pouring in make us stop even thinking. I don't even know if what I'm seeing or what I'm thinking right now is completely mine. Is the problem of ‘showing only what you want to see’ or is the problem of ‘seeing only what you want to see’? Perhaps ‘rejecting all of this’ is the first step toward true freedom?’ Let me start by saying,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “We know the truth, no one knows this”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'Bad News', a song based on a strong guitar riff that stands out for the harmony of hip-hop and rock, and 'Nobody Knows', a soul\/R\u0026amp;B song with an impressive sensuous beat, are two different songs with double titles, creating a unique and organic harmony. The lyrics, which sharply but humorously express the theme of 'two sides of perspective', which distinguishes between 'truth' and 'rumour', and the two music videos that produce them, provide the public with another hidden appreciation point.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [Born to be XX] consists of a total of 7 songs. In line with the expectations of a group that pursues original music and self-production, this album also contains many songs written and composed by artists. From 'Belle's self-composed song 'Says It', which contains the fresh feelings of first love, to 'My 808' and 'Bad News (ENG Ver.)', the members participate in the work to deliver complete music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It is time to experience the new artificial respiration provided by KISS OF LIFE once again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e KISS OF LIFE 2nd Mini Album [Born to be XX] Track List\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 01.

The guitar riff, which is repeated from the beginning to the end, without hesitation shows off aspects of genre music that may feel unfamiliar, and the pre-chorus, which makes it impossible to predict what happens next, creates tension in the listeners and makes them hold their breath. The moment the chorus vocals finally speak, it announces the arrival of a game changer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 02. Nobody Knows (Title)\u003cbr\u003e Composed by PAPRIKAA, Jeongwoo Lim, ADORA, VON MENTZER\u003cbr\u003e Korean Lyrics by Jo Yoon-kyung, Julie, Rick Bridges\u003cbr\u003e Arranged by PAPRIKAA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The double title song 'Nobody Knows' is an R\u0026amp;B song influenced by the classic mood of 1970s psychedelic and funk music and Philadelphia Soul. This song, with its languid but head-nodding rhythm and captivating bass\/guitar performance that captivates your ears, is an original genre of music that requires a high level of difficulty in singing and understanding of the music, and KISS OF LIFE's musical aspirations and passion to challenge this are met. It will reach these listeners with another charm and new experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 03. My 808\u003cbr\u003e Composed by G'harah “PK” Degeddingseze, Tricia Battani, TMM\u003cbr\u003e Lyrics by Mia (153Joombas), Rick Bridges, Hyeyum Lee (Jamfactory), Gemma, Belle, Natty\u003cbr\u003e Arranged by G'harah “PK” Degeddingseze, Tricia Battani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'My 808' is a song in the Dance\/R\u0026amp;B genre, and is a song that stands out for its voluptuous sensuality that compares the fascinating 'my bass (dance)' to the '808 sound' in the music. You can enjoy the song even more if you listen to it by focusing on the addictive hook and the individuality of the vocalists who digest the repetitive parts with their own charm and interpretation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 04.TTG\u003cbr\u003e Composed by BYMORE, Ondine, ADORA, Rick Bridges\u003cbr\u003e Lyrics by Ondine, Rick Bridges, BYMORE\u003cbr\u003e Arranged by BYMORE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'TTG', a song in the R\u0026amp;B Dance Pop genre, is a song that stands out for its retro synth sound centered around an acoustic guitar and the Y2K tone and manner produced through this, and the groovy melody and harmonious vocal production are added to enhance the completeness. 'TTG' is an abbreviation for 'That That Girl', and is an R\u0026amp;B song with a feminine mood that tries to express the feel of the 2000s. It is a rare song that will once again show a different side of KISS OF LIFE.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 05. Gentleman\u003cbr\u003e Composed by Thomas Troelsen, Lindy Robbins, Gabe Saporta, Shy Carter\u003cbr\u003e Lyrics by Jo Yoon-kyung\u003cbr\u003e Arranged by Thomas Troelsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'Gentleman', a song with Afro rhythm and reggae patterns, is a song that shows a unique charm by combining a pop genre verse centered on the 808 bass and a chorus with soul gospel. The part led by a solo vocalist, and the gospel chorus that contrasts with this, is a song with a unique aspect that allows you to feel KISS OF LIFE's musical capabilities and confidence at the same time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 06.

I wanted to capture an unfamiliar feeling that I felt for the first time, but one that was also reckless.\u003cbr\u003e “The feeling of color being added to my seemingly black and white life, the feeling of sitting there for hours on a cool summer night without knowing how much time had passed, even when I was bitten by mosquitoes, let’s call these strange feelings ‘love.’ And let’s stop wasting time and pour our all into love.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Commentary by BELLE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 07.

'진실' 혹은 '루머'를 구분하는 '관점의 양면성'이라는 주제를 날카롭지만 익살스럽게 표현하는 가사, 그리고 이를 연출하는 두 편의 뮤직비디오는 대중들에게 또 다른 숨겨진 감상 포인트를 선사한다.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n[Born to be XX]는 총 7개의 수록곡으로 구성되어 있다. 오리지널 뮤직과 자체 프로듀싱을 지향하는 그룹이라는 기대에 걸맞게 이번 앨범에도 아티스트가 작사, 작곡한 곡들이 다수 수록되었다. 풋풋한 첫 사랑의 감정을 담은 '벨'의 자작곡 'Says It'부터 'My 808', 'Bad News (ENG Ver.)'까지 멤버들이 작업에 참여함으로써 완성도 있는 음악을 들려준다.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nKISS OF LIFE가 새로이 선사하는 인공호흡을 다시 한번 느껴 볼 시간이다.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nKISS OF LIFE 2nd Mini Album [Born to be XX] Track List\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n01.
