Rising boy band Tomorrow X Together (TXT) is back, laying bare the emotional turbulence of breakups through its new extended play (EP).

The five-piece act unveiled Monday its fourth EP “minisode 2: Thursday’s Child,” which opens a new chapter to the story told through the band’s music, according to label Big Hit Music.

“’minisode 2: Thursday’s Child’ is an album that depicts a boy who is going through a breakup during his transition to adulthood and is on a journey to understand himself and the world around him,” Big Hit said in a statement on fan community app WeVerse ahead of the EP’s release.

“After experiencing his first breakup, the boy becomes overcome by a whirlwind of emotions – denial, resignation, rage, and loss. He candidly expresses his feelings and finally accepts that the relationship is over,” it added.

The music video for lead single “Good Boy Gone Bad” was released alongside the EP.
