Background and release
On September 30, Kihyun posted the coming image of his first EP Youth through Monsta X's official SNS, with release date announced to be on October 24, confirming his first comeback, seven months after his solo debut.[1][2]
The album film was released on October 5,[3] the track list on October 7,[4] then concept films and photos between October 8 to 16.[5][6] Kihyun held a comeback showcase on Naver Now's #OUTNOW to introduce Youth along with its title track.[7]
The physical EP was released in three standard versions; Youth, Goodbye Youth, and The 2nd Journey, along with jewel case versions and a KiT version.[8]
Composition
Kim Eana wrote the lyrics for the title track "Youth", and group member Hyungwon participated in writing, composing, and arranging the tracks "Bad Liar" and "Where Is This Love", while Kihyun participated in writing the lyrics for the track "'Cause of You" alongside labelmate Brother Su.[9]
Youth is an album that intends to revisit childhood based on the worldview of a "traveler" and started from an autobiographical story.[10]
The title track "Youth" is an alternative rock track in which the present Kihyun tells the child Kihyun all the emotions of that time and the current promise.[10][11] For the other tracks, "Bad Liar" was composed to complement Kihyun's vocals and is meant to capture that lies can coexist with the desire to get back together, "Stardust" is an up-tempo song with an energetic drum sound, "Where Is This Love" is a song that was inspired by the movie Closer, and "'Cause of You" is a song filled with sweet and refreshing feelings.[12]
