Cube Entertainment recently confirmed BTOB‘s comeback announcing their new song titled, “Second Confession“. The song is said to be perfect for the warm spring weather as a sweet confession song that music lovers of all ages will be able to relate to.

Earlier today Cube tweeted, “Day 2 Confession: sweet and warm transformation for the guys. Get ready to be melted by them“, along with the above photo. Rather than a charismatic concept, it seems the group is shooting for a more neighborly vibe, a perfect fit for the onset of Spring.

The song will start off with a narration, and it will include lyrics that depict the emotions of a man who is about to confess his feelings a second time to a lover he has parted with in the past.

The track is actually a thank you present from the boys to all the fans who have supported them for over a year. Although it sings of a man and his feelings for his past girlfriend, it also serves as a serenade from the boys of the group to their adoring fans!

Is the teaser melting your heart? Stay tuned for the release coming up on April 10th!
