Members Jaehyun, Taesan, and Woonhak participated in writing “ANIMAL,” while ZICO, along with producers including Pop Time and Kako, also contributed to the song.
This creative involvement gives the comeback another connection to BOYNEXTDOOR’s established identity as a group that incorporates personal experiences and perspectives into its music.

The release gives fans both familiar tracks from the HOME era and new material that expands the group’s current musical direction.
What Is “ANIMAL” About?
“ANIMAL” centers on the idea of instinct, ambition, and pushing beyond personal limits.
The song’s heavier production and energetic performance style represent a more intense side of BOYNEXTDOOR compared with some of the group’s earlier releases. The comeback’s concept has been described as emphasizing the group’s desire to continue growing and challenging themselves.
The music video also follows this energetic direction, using movement and visually intense scenes to complement the song’s concept.
BOYNEXTDOOR’s HOME: DELUXE Era
