TXT have gone all out for their new Japanese album, following single Can't Stop with a second music video for album track Where Do You Go. I really like Can't Stop and absolutely love my own cobbled together mix that adds a dance break and extra chorus, but of the album's other new songs Where Do You Go was the one that stood out to me most.
This is a simple pop track buoyed by a strong, memorable melody and bouncy production that delivers upbeat vibes. The song doesn't do anything new or notable within TXT (or any other artist's) discography, but sometimes you just need a straightforward sing-along moment. Where Do You Go is hummable from the very first listen, repeating its jaunty refrain often. The production ably supports the melody, utilizing a crisp arrangement with a steady kick to drive things forward. This soft pop/rock sound has always been a great fit for TXT.
Unlike Can't Stop, Where Do You Go is given the time it needs to unfold in a satisfying way. The song feels complete, climaxing in a final chorus that brings everything together with cinematic heft. The HYDE-produced SSS (Sending Secret Signals) may be a more interesting piece of music on the album, but this is certainly the most crowd-pleasing.
