NCT Dream is embarking on a temporal journey with their upcoming fifth full-length album, revealing a comprehensive concept centered around time travel. 

Album Preview and Dual Title Tracks 

On July 7th, NCT Dream released a highlight medley video for their fifth studio album "Go Back To The Future" across their social media platforms, offering fans a preview of all tracks ahead of the official release. 

The nine-track album features dual title songs: "BTTF" and "CHILLER." "BTTF" is a hip-hop dance track that tells the story of gaining the power to change the future through time machine travel, while "CHILLER" showcases experimental sounds with electronic synth elements and unpredictable chord progressions, depicting a confident persona. 

Diverse Musical Journey 

The album explores various genres while maintaining the time travel narrative thread. "I LIKE IT" presents a dance-pop sound with prominent funky electric guitar, narrating the moment of jumping into an unknown world with another version of oneself encountered during time travel. 

"Dream Team" combines hip-hop and pop-rock elements, featuring harmonious guitar riffs, piano, and synthesizer sounds. The track delivers an uplifting message: "Even if we fall, let's get back up and hit that thrilling home run." 

Emotional Depth and Nostalgic Elements 

"Interlude: Back to Our Paradise" creates a dreamy atmosphere with lush chorus arrangements, telling the story of time traveling to find a lost love. "Bout You" offers an acoustic pop ballad that compares the process of falling in love through a chance encounter to a sudden rain shower, featuring warm and emotional melodies. 

The album ventures into nostalgic territory with "That Summer," an easy-listening track depicting first love with bright new jack swing rhythms and tape rewind sound effects that evoke nostalgic feelings. 

Retro Influences and Future Aspirations 

"Miss Me" showcases retro sensibilities by blending 90s pop and R&B, expressing the bittersweet moment of departure to return to the future through soft EP sounds. The album concludes with "Beautiful Sailing," a mid-tempo pop track with rich instrumentation and lyrical melodies that evoke ocean voyaging, expressing determination to navigate rough waves toward greater seas.
