Kick Back is the third extended play by the Chinese boy group WayV. It is set to be released on March 10, 2021, by Label V and SM Entertainment, with Dreamus as the South Korean distributor and Owhat as the distributor for China. The album consists of six songs with a lead single of the same name.
Background and release[edit]
After releasing their first studio album Awaken the World, WayV for the first time participated in NCT's project NCT 2020 for the rest of 2020 and released the song "月之迷 (Nectar)" to be a part of their albums.[1][2] On February 23, 2021, WayV announced their upcoming extended play (EP) titled Kick Back is set to be released on March 10.[3] The teaser photos for both versions of the album, Stranger Ver. and Hitchhiker Ver., were then released sequentially for the next two weeks.[4]
Composition[edit]
Kick Back opens with the lead single of the same name, an progressive R&B dance song that combines a vibrant vocal and a calm flow of rap. The lyrics convey the message of "gathering together in a secret place that only belongs to us, enjoying freedom, and planning the future together".[5] The following song "Action Figure" is based on brass music whose lyrics tell a story of a main character who is a doll or action figure that feels sad about the restraints of their cold reality, but leaves dreams and hopes for others in their wakes, and perseveres in protecting them. Following on from "Face to Face" from Take Over the Moon, members Kun, Ten, and Xiaojun teamed up again for the song "Horizon", a ballad that conveys the group's feelings towards their fans. The fourth track is "All For Love", a trap R&B song that recalls the sentimental ambiance of the night. It is followed by "Good Time", a pop song with hip-hop beat with lyrics like, "As long as we're together, all moments are happy." The album is then closed by the Korean version of "Kick Back".[4]
