NCT DREAM are celebrating a decade together with the release of their sixth studio album, DREAM AFTER DREAM, alongside a music video for its title track, ‘Boogie Woogie’.
Released on 9 November, the 10-track record reflects on the K-pop group's journey over the past decade while looking ahead to the dreams and possibilities that await them. Spanning disco-funk, hyperpop, electronic house, and pop rock, the album showcases NCT DREAM's musical versatility and evolution.
Leading the release is ‘Boogie Woogie’, an upbeat dance track that combines 1970s-inspired disco-funk with modern synths, rhythmic percussion, and groovy basslines. Member JAEMIN contributed to the lyrics, which celebrate the group's shared experiences and the people who have made their journey meaningful.
Elsewhere on the album, ‘The Sun’ and ‘Dream After Dream’ revisit the members' shared journey and aspirations for the future, while ‘Skydive’ and ‘Pressure’ explore courage, determination, and the desire to overcome personal limits.
Meanwhile, ‘Watch U Watch Me’, ‘Cool for Me’, and ‘Tumbler’ offer different perspectives on love. The record also includes ‘Smile for U’, co-written by member HAECHAN, and ‘This Is Your World’, both of which deliver messages of comfort, hope, and togetherness.
Ahead of the release, NCT DREAM held a special listening party in Seoul, where fans were treated to an early preview of all 10 tracks and insights from the members themselves. The celebrations also extend to the WELCOME, DREAMERS pop-up experience, giving fans another opportunity to commemorate the milestone.
Speaking about the album, JENO shared: "With DREAM AFTER DREAM, we wanted to share a message about continuing to chase our dreams together. We hope you'll look forward to all the new memories we'll make along the way."
JAEMIN also reflected on the group's relationship with their fans, known as Czennies, and what reaching their 10th anniversary means to them.
"It's thanks to the love and support we've received from Czennies over the past 10 years that we've been able to share so many happy memories together. To me, our 10th anniversary isn't the end of a chapter, but the beginning of so many new possibilities and opportunities."
Rather than simply looking back on their achievements, DREAM AFTER DREAM marks another step forward for NCT DREAM, celebrating the friendships, memories, and ambitions that continue to shape their journey.
