If you want to try one full-length 10CM album, start with ‘5.0’, released on July 30, 2025. From its twelve tracks we picked the title track ‘CDEFG’, ‘Monday Is Coming’ featuring BIG Naughty, ‘Us’, ‘Into Your Summer’ and ‘Follow Your Steps’ with BIBI. It is a selection that moves through different scenes of everyday life, from the words we use to express love to the end of a Sunday, the mood of a good day and a summer night. It isn’t the full tracklist, but you can listen in the order of the original record. Since a featured vocal and a lyric contribution are different roles, we also look at each song’s collaboration separately. It is recommended for anyone more curious about the original fifth studio album than the acoustic album released separately the same year.
10CM — CDEFG
‘CDEFG’ is the second track and title track of ‘5.0’, released on July 30, 2025. 10CM wrote and composed it; the Korean title ‘Sarangeun Yeoseotjul’ means ‘love is six strings’, and ‘CDEFG’ is the English track name. If you listen while picturing putting your heart into a guitar’s strings to convey it, the meaning of the title comes closer. You might also overlay those moments when you wanted to express your feelings to someone but words always seemed to fall short. At three minutes long, it is an easy starting point when first approaching the album. It is the original studio-album recording, distinct from the separate version on ‘5.0 (Acoustic)’, and if this song stays with you, you can follow the flow of the record from the first track before it.
10CM — Monday Is Coming (feat. BIG Naughty)
‘Monday Is Coming’ is the third track of the fifth studio album, featuring BIG Naughty. The two took part together in the lyrics, composition and vocals, so you meet a combination different from hearing 10CM’s voice alone. The album notes present this as a song to listen to in the moment when Monday is approaching. Overlay it with the feeling of preparing for the next stretch of daily life at the end of a day off. If you had remembered 10CM only for love songs, a title that evokes the rhythm of everyday life also comes across as something new. Over about 3 minutes 17 seconds, follow how the two singers’ expressions connect, and it is worth comparing with ‘Follow Your Steps’, the album’s other collaboration.
10CM — Us
The seventh song on the fifth studio album, ‘Us’, carries the Korean title ‘Jigeum Uri Saineun’ (where we stand now). 10CM composed it and wrote the words together with Woojoo Hippie. The album notes carry the hope that on a day with good weather, the listener’s mood will brighten too. Listen when you want to step away for a moment from an unrequited love thought over alone and choose a song that pictures the space between two people. You can also enjoy it while thinking side by side about past relationships and your present mood. The track runs 3 minutes 56 seconds, and an official live from the 2026 Seoul tour has also been released. Learn the melody first, then meet it again with the expressions on stage, and you can enjoy one song in two ways.
10CM — Into Your Summer
‘Into Your Summer’ is the tenth track of the fifth studio album. 10CM handled the composition, and Young K took part in the lyrics. It wasn’t introduced as a vocal feature, so it is good to know the form of the participation as well. The album notes describe it as a song that evokes a scene of dancing on a summer night. Even after the season has passed, choose it when you want to bring out memories of hot nights or are looking for a somewhat livelier song. At 4 minutes 51 seconds it is the longest of these five, so you can stay in one song’s mood without hurrying. It is an album track for feeling the record’s sense of season between the stories of unrequited love and everyday life.
10CM — Follow Your Steps (feat. BIBI)
‘Follow Your Steps’ — Korean title ‘Chum’, meaning dance — is the eleventh track of the fifth studio album, featuring BIBI. 10CM and Woojoo Hippie took part in the lyrics and composition, and in the vocals you can hear the combination of 10CM and BIBI. If you listen while picturing the image of a ball in a dream that appears in the album notes, the title and the mood arrive together. It is a good pick for a day when you hope the flutter of the heart will remain even after the time spent together has passed. ‘Follow Your Steps’ is the English track name; it was released first as a single on July 24 of the same year, then included on the studio album on July 30. This time, meet the colour of the collaboration through the 4 minute 20 second recording on ‘5.0’.
First recall the guitar of the title track, then notice the feeling left when the combination of singers changes in the two collaborations. BIG Naughty and BIBI each meet 10CM’s voice from a different direction. For a walk on a good day you can pick ‘Us’ again, and on a night when summer memories come back, ‘Into Your Summer’. If the five songs stayed with you, listen to the flow of the original twelve tracks too, from ‘Nothing’s Going On’ to ‘Museun Norae Deunnayo?’ (what song are you listening to?). You get the fun of discovering other album tracks among the songs that have become familiar.
