SNEAK PEEK: Everything to Know About P1Harmony’s Comeback!
Following an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show November 29th, P1Harmony will release their fifth mini-album, HARMONY : SET IN, on November 30th!
What to expect from the new title track:
The title track, “BACK DOWN,” sounds like the catchier cousin of “Do It Like This”! It starts with the sound of a clock tower ringing in a new day, a fitting symbol for the start of a new chapter in P1Harmony’s story. “BACK DOWN” is a classic P1Harmony song at its core, with a hip-hop focus and lyrics about overcoming fears and not needing second chances to succeed, but it is also full of fun surprises, including rad guitar riffs and fun “Ra-ta-ta”s! The playfulness continues in the bridge, when a moment of silence is reserved for a confident laugh. Overall, “BACK DOWN” is personality-packed and hints at an album full of tracks that are just as full and engaging!

KEEHO:
“The video for ‘BACK DOWN’ comes with a powerful performance. As a band, we worked hard on this new album to make a project our fans would enjoy while also exploring a new side of our musical journal.”
INTAK on his inspiration for “BACK DOWN”’s lyrics:
“Since we’re talking about friendship in this album series, I couldn’t help but think about my friends and loved ones. So I twisted the idea a bit: ‘If you’re not my friend, GET OUT OF MY WAY.’ I thought it would be a fun way to say it!”
JIUNG added:
“Since our next album is about friendship, this music video tells the story of building those friendships. The music video for ‘BACK DOWN’ conveys a lot of stories and required a lot of acting.”
THEO:
“[A]cting skills really improved for all of us while we were shooting the video.”
SOUL on the video set:
“[It] was a lot of fun working in such a visually interesting environment. I also had a lot of fun getting to act!”
Lastly, JONGSEOB admitted “BACK DOWN” is “the first single released by the band that [I] would listen to as a fan;” it’s his all-time favorite P1Harmony track!
