KISS OF LIFE has taken the music market by storm, captivating fans and the public with their lIVE skills and boundless energy, and has shown remarkable growth as they continue to realize their ambition to breathe new life into the music industry. The music video for KISS OF LIFE's previously released digital single “Sticky,” a song that captures the group's refreshing sensibility, was met with enthusiasm upon its release, and was ranked on YouTube's domestic trending music rankings as well as global trending video charts in the U.S., U.K., Australia, and other countries.

In addition, the song topped the domestic music charts, while also appearing on the BillBoArd World Digital Song Sales Chart and the BillBoArd Global 200 chart, solidifying its presence as a global phenomenon loved both domestically and internationally. Since its debut, KISS OF LIFE has established itself with its talent-based, genre-diverse music and performances, and within a year of its debut, the group achieved significant records, including the No. 1 spot on music broadcasts and breaking through the top three on domestic charts.

With their third mini album, “Lose Yourself,” KISS OF LIFE will continue to build on this momentum and establish themselves as a unique group. From their debut album to the present, KISS OF LIFE has organically connected each album with the keyword “freedom”, and on this album, they musically express the process of “immersion” that transcends “freedom”.

“You exist in me, and I exist in you, like the unIVErse.”

“So lose yourself”

The album “Lose Yourself” playsfully draws on the intersection of KISS OF LIFE in the title track “Get Loud” and KISS OF LIFE in the pre-release song “R.E.M.”. The two songs are organically connected by the keyword “immersion,” while also telling the story of reality and dreams from different directions, leaving it open to interpretation.

“Get Loud” tells the story of artists who are pursuing their dreams in real life and seem a little strange. It shows how being immersed in something can make you look eccentric to others, but it can also make you look charming and professional. “It's like a dream you can't wake up from,” the song says, highlighting the shining moments of people who are immersed in what they love and living their dreams. In this music video, the artist's charming appearance of discovering a new self that she didn't know she had when she immersed herself in her creation is also uniquely and trendily visualized through the medIUm of “Confetti”.

On the other hand, the pre-release song “R.E.M” tells the story of people who don't want to face reality and want to escape into their dreams. They decide that “it's okay to meet the thing you want, even if it's in a dream,” but they can't get rid of the feeling of wanting to face it in reality. The song reminds us that while we may seem foolish or ridiculed by others, one person's immersion in longing for something they can't get back may be another person's dream and hope.

The protagonists of both Get Loud and R.E.M. are the same person. There are moments of brilliance, but there are also times of longing. The theme of 'doppelgangers' is a way of exploring the various inner lIVEs of a single character, and it conveys the message of immersing oneself in one's own life, reflecting on oneself, and hoping to gain enlightenment in some way.

The mini third album “Lose Yourself” consists of seven songs in various genres, from groovy R&B to painted hip-hop to EDM dance-pop, including the dreamy, melodic pre-release song “R.E.M.” and the rhythmic hip-hop dance genre title track “Get Loud,” which strongly reveals KISS OF LIFE's unique personality. Through this album, the group will once again grow as an artist that makes you more immersed in the story of KISS OF LIFE.
