'Never Say Never': ZEROBASEONE launches debut album with 10 songs

ZEROBASEONE unveils the first full-length album 'Never Say Never' at 6 p.m. KST on September 1, marking a condensed culmination of the group's two-year rise from debut to a defining statement of intent. The release positions the nine-member act's shared journey with fandom ZEROSE as the band's most luminous moment yet, framed around an unwavering message that the impossible doesn't exist. The album features 10 tracks spanning sleek pop and kinetic EDM/hip-hop textures: 'ICONIK' (title), 'SLAM DUNK,' 'Lovesick Game,' 'Goosebumps,' 'Dumb,' 'NOW OR NEVER (Korean ver.),' 'EXTRA,' 'Long Way Back,' 'Star Eyes,' and 'I Know U Know.' The tracklist-teased via official channels-maps the group's evolving palette, from high-tension, court-drama energy to buoyant, fan-facing sentiments. Lead single 'ICONIK' leans on a polished pop chassis with nu-disco sheen, elevating the group's presence through tight grooves and escalating ensemble chemistry. The song crystallizes an artist-first credo: becoming an iconic entity on its own terms, independent of outside evaluation, as the members set their sights on a higher tier of recognition. The set interlaces broader statements with unit-driven detail-'EXTRA' and 'Long Way Back' split members into contrasting flavors, from addictive intensity to delicate vocal distance. A Korean rendition of the Japan EP title 'Now or Never' bridges markets and eras, while 'Star Eyes' and 'I Know U Know' amplify the group's lore and fan dialogue into a resonant closing stretch. 'Never Say Never' follows a busy 2025 run anchored by the Japanese EP and the fifth Korean mini, with pre-release single 'SLAM DUNK' sharpening the comeback's athletic pulse. As a unit formed via 'Boys Planet,' the group's structured ascent to a full-length stakes a claim on continuity and scale, consolidating commercial traction with a cohesive brand frontier.
