Themes and lyrics
It has been eight months since the band last released music, with the album '' Sad Song'' coming out in 2024. Last January, the band wrapped up its second world tour, "P1ustage H: Utop1a." The title track of the same name runs through the story of this album. 'DUH!' is a song that combines the retro charm of vintage beats and the trendy vocals of P1Harmony. In particular, the title 'DUH!' is an English expression with the nuance of 'Who is this successful person? Of course it's me! Why are you asking that!', wittily expressing the appearance of showing off a little more of myself as a HERO and accepting this situation as a given. Unlike the existing HERO who is righteous and humble, it shows a different presence with the content 'The place I sit, the path I walk is the answer'. The new album contains a total of six tracks including the title track ‘DUH!’ ‘Pretty Boy’ contains the desire to be dyed in the colors of the fans who look at them, ‘Murmur’ is a style that combines 90s R&B and hip-hop, ‘Flashy’ depicts why P1Harmony is different from others, ‘Over And Over’ shows the determination and spirit not to be easily swept away and fall no matter what threat comes, and ‘Work’ is a song that stands out for P1Harmony’s experimental vocals. Various genres of songs and the stories that P1Harmony wants to tell are included in the 8th mini album. This album also establishes the distinct musical color of P1Harmony by having the members participate in writing all the songs. Including the title song, Intak and Jongseop, who participated in writing the lyrics for all the songs, Jiwoong is credited with writing and composing three songs. Kiho, who has been consistently working on songs, also participated in composing “Pretty Boy,” and Jongseop is credited with composing “Work,” increasing the level of perfection.Commercial performance
