Group TIOT has shown a musical transformation by challenging themselves with a ballad song.

TIOT made a comeback to the music industry on the 11th by releasing a new digital single, ‘Take It Slow’. In particular, this song is garnering attention from fans as it is the first ballad genre song that TIOT has presented since their debut.

TIOT released their debut album ‘Kick-START’ in April and has been receiving love from fans for their powerful performances and excellent vocal skills. With their energetic hip-hop swagger, choreography that stands out with their flashy steps, and their unrivaled stage presence, T.I.O.T has been expanding their scope of activities by releasing songs of various genres since then.

T.I.O.T, which released the digital single ‘That Season, Through the Long Tunnel’ last October, properly expressed the autumn sentiment through various music shows with the refreshing yet wistful song. T.I.O.T properly showed their presence with their graceful performance, emotional facial expressions, and soft gaze.

The song they are releasing this time, ‘Take It Slow’, is a song that contains a message of comfort and encouragement to those who are tired of their fast-paced daily lives, telling them that it‘s okay to take their time and not rush. It catches the eye as it goes well with the warm sentiment of the end of the year.

With this song that showcases the vocal abilities of the five members through a flashy arrangement that gradually builds up, T.I.O.T is determined to solidify their position as the ‘5th generation hot rookie’. Even in the music video, they caught the attention of global fans with a calm and modern look that is the opposite of their previous explosive energy.

Meanwhile, TIOT will meet fans at the 2024-2025 concert ‘The Season’ (THE SEASON) at NISSHO HALL in Tokyo on December 14 and at the Konkuk University New Millennium Hall Grand Concert Hall in Seoul on January 4 next year.
