SEVENTEEN releases new album “17 is Right Here”
On April 29, SEVENTEEN unveiled their compilation album “17 is Right Here.” The album captures SEVENTEEN’s past, present, and future with previous title tracks that have made the group shine and new songs to introduce new sides of them.
The album expresses SEVENTEEN’s journey of 9 years, celebrating their glorious past and making the promise of being together forever with their fans, CARATs.
The new title track “MAESTRO” is of the dance R&B genre with a spectacular piano sound intro. The lyrics convey the message of diverse people coming together to lead the world and becoming the best in what they do.
“17 is Right Here” includes 20 Korean album titles, 8 Japanese album titles, and 4 new tracks – the title “MAESTRO,” “LALALI” that showcases the hip-hop unit’s swag and laid-back charms, “Spell” that features the performance unit’s graceful and dreamy moves, and the vocal unit’s “Cheers to Youth” that sends a message to all young people.
Living up to their title of ‘self-producing idols,’ SEVENTEEN’s Woozi once again participated in writing and composing all four new songs. Members including S.Coups, Wonwoo, The8, Mingyu, Vernon, and Dino also contributed to the lyrics of certain songs.
SEVENTEEN is set to release music videos for all new songs. “LALALI” MV will come out on May 10, “Spell” MV on May 17, and “Cheers to Youth” MV on May 24.

Last April 27-28, SEVENTEEN revealed a surprise performance of their new songs at the SEVENTEEN “Follow Again” tour held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, heightening expectations for their new album.
Using a baton similar to a maestro’s prop in the dance production, SEVENTEEN’s performance increased the audience’s heart rates with the intense beat and their music that highlights each member’s individuality.
Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN will continue their tours in Korea and Japan. The tour started at the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium on March 30-31 and it continues through Seoul World Cup Stadium, Osaka Yanmar Stadium Nagai on May 18-19, and Kanagawa Nissan Stadium on the May 25-26.
Moreover, SEVENTEEN will become the first K-pop boy group to appear on the main stage of Glastonbury, Britain’s largest music festival, in June. They will also participate as headliners at Lollapalooza Berlin in Germany, in September.
