‘minisode 2: Thursday’s Child’ marked TXT’s first domestic release of 2022, and arrived approximately nine months after the release of ‘The Chaos Chapter: Fight Or Escape’, a repackaged version of their May 2021 sophomore album ’The Chaos Chapter: Freeze’.

In a five-star review of the record, NME‘s Rhian Daly said the mini-album “fully justifies [their] hype, continuing to position Tomorrow X Together as voices for their generation (and beyond) with songs that are both sublime in quality and evocative reflections of life’s ups and downs”.

In other Tomorrow X Together news, the group recently announced that they are set to release a new single with American rapper and singer iann dior later this month.

The collaborative track, titled ‘Valley of Lies’, is described as an “indie alternative” song that “speaks about a lonesome journey that one takes towards the end of a relationship, along a trail of countless lies.” It’s set to arrive on July 22.
