BOYNEXTDOOR is making waves like never before with their brand-new track, "Only Today I LOVE YOU." The boy group, consisting of Seongho, Riu, Myeongjae, Taesan, Lee Han, and Unhak, is seeing an incredible response to their latest release.

Released on January 6 at 6 PM, the song quickly soared up the Melon 'TOP 100' chart, debuting at No. 17 just an hour after its release. By 8 PM, it jumped to No. 9, and by midnight on January 7, it reached an impressive No. 4, marking BOYNEXTDOOR’s best performance yet on the charts. To put this in perspective, their previous hits like "Earth, Wind & Fire" from last April and "Nice Guy" from September barely cracked the lower 90s and 50s, respectively. This new track's rapid rise shows just how much BOYNEXTDOOR’s popularity has skyrocketed.

Not only is the song dominating on Melon, but it’s also making an impact globally. By 7 PM on January 6, "Only Today I LOVE YOU" entered Japan’s LINE Music 'TOP 100' at No. 28, and by midnight, it hit No. 1—holding the top spot until 7 AM. The song also charted in the Top Song charts of 12 countries including Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Nigeria, Russia, and Turkey by 9 AM on January 7.

The track's success is mirrored in its YouTube performance, where the teaser video reached No. 4 on YouTube’s trending videos on January 5. The full music video didn’t take long to grab attention either, entering No. 2 on the trending music videos and climbing to No. 1 by 1 AM on January 7, holding that spot well into the morning. It also ranked No. 6 on China’s QQ Music Korean Music Video chart, the highest among any K-pop boy group that day.

"Only Today I LOVE YOU" is a fun, upbeat dance track that adds a unique twist to the breakup genre. While it talks about the end of a relationship, the song is filled with clever, humorous lyrics that make it stand out from typical sad breakup songs. The members infused the track with playful, "life-attached" themes, making it a perfect fit for the younger MZ generation who enjoy music that’s relatable yet light-hearted.

The success of "Only Today I LOVE YOU" has also boosted BOYNEXTDOOR’s older tracks, with songs like "Nice Guy" and "Parental Advisory" charting on Melon’s 'TOP 100' by midnight on January 7. In total, eight tracks from the group made their way onto the chart, a testament to the loyal fanbase and growing recognition BOYNEXTDOOR is earning.

Fans are in for a treat as BOYNEXTDOOR prepares for their upcoming performances on music programs this week, despite their busy schedules. They’ve been working hard on this comeback, giving back to their dedicated fans, ONEDOOR.

Since their debut, BOYNEXTDOOR has been known for their unique "life-attached music"—songs that resonate deeply with listeners, touching on personal stories. Their live performances are also widely praised, earning them the title of a "trustworthy group" or "Mido" (믿고 보는 보이넥스트도어). With this latest release, it’s clear that BOYNEXTDOOR’s rise to fame is just getting started!
