Korean singer-songwriter/rapping six-member group P1Harmony delivers a heroic 7-track project SAD SONG tackling themes of overcoming loneliness through positivity; performed over lyrics and productions composed by the group members and collaborators. The project covers the terrain of many genres, extending the KPop’s influence into new musical territory. P1Harmony is comprised of six members, Keeho (기호), Theo (테오), Jiung (지웅), Intak (인탁), Soul (소울) and Jongseob (종섭).
Starting out strong with title-track 'SAD SONG,' P1Harmony instantly captivates in this quintessential dance track with its quick Hip-Hop Latin-inspired beats and catchy lyrics. It features an upbeat yet addictive piano riff, complemented by the distinctive voices of P1Harmony members. The album also includes an English version of the song as its last track, welcoming even more global fans to connect with their lyrics. The song is centered around sadness and feeling stuck while incorporating addictive songwriting elements.

'It’s Alright' follows, which helps establish the groove of the project. It features an upbeat yet addictive piano riff, complemented by the distinctive voices of P1Harmony members. Its relaxed tempo, percussive embellishments, and vocal melismas help the listener settle into its suave and addictive vibe. The lyrics convey the message of self-determination connecting even more so to the audience.
Next is the ultimate K-pop group anthem 'Last Call'. With many musical ties to the 2010s, this song’s timbre creates a familiar yet enticing addition to the classic style. The intense electronic sound and refreshing electric guitar create an energetic melody. The song shows the reward for pushing through, celebrating the heat of the moment, and making the final moments of the party even more electrifying.

Furthering its nostalgic elements, the tracks are followed by P1Harmony’s first “unit” track 'WASP' featuring their members Intak and Jongseob, in a new light. It’s an experimental hip-hop track with a strong, challenging vibe, characterized by a gritty bass sound. As an instant callback to the 2016/2017 United States rap, this expands the musical attributes of their discography. The dark, intense vibe, with sharp raps and lyrics, evokes a wasp—symbolizing a rebel striving for success in the music industry.
This project follows a successful first half of the year, charting on Billboard, and performing and appearing at many special events in the US market, aligned with their packed-house P1USTAGE H: UTOP1A headline world tour. The group performed at Governer’s Ball, marking their first US festival; they made a special first US award show red carpet appearance at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Dallas, which saw the group hanging out with Gov Ball headliner Post Malone backstage among other acts on the red carpet. Hitting special landmarks in each city they visited, the group went on an exclusive tour of Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts exhibit “Hallyu! The Korean Wave”, which caused a stir on social media. And most recently, the group participated in the annual KCON LA 2024 at Crypto Arena.
