Following their participation in MNET's survival TV show Road to Kingdom: Ace of Ace, 8TURN released two digital singles - "You Are My Reason" and "Like a Friend." Now, with "LEGGO," they continue to build momentum, delivering a fresh and dynamic sound. Notably, members SEUNG HEON and YUN GYU took part in writing the title track, adding their personal touch to its powerful message.
The title track "LEGGO" is an explosion of energy, blending bouncy rap with an old-school hip-hop beat. Opening with bold brass instrumentals, the song's signature New Jack Swing rhythm and irresistibly catchy hook leave a lasting impression. Retro-inspired scratch sounds and breakbeats seamlessly weave through the track, amplifying its funky vibe. Lyrically, "LEGGO" speaks to those looking to break free from the monotony of daily life, with an empowering message to "drop your worries" and embrace the moment. With its infectious confidence and MZ-generation spirit, the song fuels ambition and delivers an exhilarating sense of freedom.

Notably, Norwegian singer-songwriter Peder Elias, known for his collaborations with SEVENTEEN's BSS ("7PM") and ASTRO's Cha Eun-woo ("Hey Hello"), contributed to the composition, infusing the song with his signature sensitivity. With its emotional depth, "I Want You Now" serves as 8TURN's personal message to fans around the world.
