NOWZ has released their 3rd Mini Album "Play Ball" on November 26. Just as the referee's call of "Play Ball!" signals the start of a game, NOWZ embarks on a new challenge.

This single, featuring tracks with distinct personalities that expand NOWZ's unique narrative of youth, heightens anticipation for their global debut through a broad musical spectrum and bold image transformation. The addition of lyrics penned by the members themselves adds an even more sincere and vibrant quality to the piece.

Depicting a fierce journey toward victory, NOWZ's third single, "Play Ball", is like a baseball game played by youth. Despite countless falls and resurgences, they continue to press on, unwavering in the face of an uncertain future. Those moments of self-transcendence ultimately lead to new leaps forward.

'GET BUCK' is an old-school hip-hop track with a powerful drum beat, brass samples, and scratchy sounds. It embodies the aspirations of youth, embracing even the countless ups and downs as evidence of the journey we've endured together, and the strength of their faith in one another to ultimately reach the top in their own way.

The title track, 'HomeRUN,' captures the decisive moment of that game. The moment they step up to the plate and risk everything, the explosive power of youth explodes in the cries of "Batter batter batter HomeRUN." It is an EDM-based dance track featuring a heavy drop and unstoppable rapping. It depicts the challenges and achievements of youth, transforming even an uncertain future into opportunity. Through the symbolic meaning of "Home" and "RUN," it reveals NOWZ's passion and goals, conveying a bold declaration of victory. The heavy drop and unstoppable rap metaphorically capture the tense atmosphere of the stadium, delivering a game-changing energy.

'Run with me' is a ballad that blends warm acoustic guitar strokes and dreamy synths over a sensual trap rhythm. It captures the excitement that blossoms at the boundary between reality and fantasy, and through the freedom and possibility offered by the unknown, the listener encounters a warm yet dreamy moment.

Like a baseball that sometimes gets hit, endlessly runs, and even collapses, yet never loses its trajectory amidst the turbulence, NOWZ ultimately finds their own path.
