BOYNEXTDOOR continues their rise with confidence on their fourth EP, No Genre. While their previous release, 19.99, captured the uncertainty between boyhood and adulthood, this time the six-piece breaks free from convention altogether, on their own terms. That authenticity is only deepened by the fact that the members make their own music: Just as they’ve done since their debut, JAEHYUN, TAESAN, and WOONHAK took an active role in songwriting. Notably, WOONHAK—the youngest of the group—is credited on every track, working with label KOZ’s in-house producers Pop Time and Kako as well as executive producer ZICO. The funky track “I Feel Good” embodies the spirit of the EP’s six songs: bold, free-spirited, and brimming with rock-star energy. Other standouts include the breakup song “123-78” with its ’60s soul-pop flair; the breezy city-pop tune “Step by Step”; the cheeky, funk-driven “Is That True?”; and hit single “IF I SAY, I LOVE YOU.” To celebrate the release, the members of BOYNEXTDOOR shared their thoughts on each song with Apple Music below. “123-78” RIWOO: “This track feels like winter fading into spring. It captures a sense of seasonal change that stirs up a wide range of emotions. There’s also a romantic atmosphere you can easily get lost in.” “I Feel Good” TAESAN: “When we were working on ‘I Feel Good,’ we wanted to make something fun. As soon as you hear it, you’ll start to feel the energy. Make sure to pay attention to the chorus—it’s got a crazy addictive rush.” “Step by Step” JAEHYUN: “We worked on this one while counting down the days until summer. You can really feel that summertime vibe in the song. Why not cool off and enjoy the season with ‘Step by Step’?” “Is That True?” WOONHAK: “This track is about that flash of jealousy when you run into your ex who seems totally fine, but we put a fun, playful twist on it. I think it’ll be so much fun to perform live and jump around with ONEDOOR!” “Next Mistake” SUNGHO: “This track stands out for its falsetto and sleek rhythm. The scratching that wraps up the song is the highlight for me. It's my favorite track on the album.” “IF I SAY, I LOVE YOU” LEEHAN: “This was a song I fell in love with the moment I heard it. The beat is so exciting and the melody is super catchy—I really cherish this one. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!”
