K-Pop Blog > News > iKON
In their latest song “Tantara” , iKON challenge us to scream to the sky and raise our hands above our heads. That's not difficult for us, because there's a reason to celebrate: on May 4th, the third studio album Take Off is finally being released! Tantara is a pre-release single from Take Off and gives us a taste of the new album. Including Tantara, the 10 CD will contain brand new songs. The title song is called “U”.
The pre-release single and die Tracklist are not the only preview that iKON has released in the last few days. You can also find several on Twitter Concept photosin which the boys look very relaxed in shirts, sweaters and jeans. Next, we can look forward to a concept film that will be uploaded on April 30th, followed by the MV teaser on May 1st!
Additionally, iKON has finally revealed the details of the physical album, which you can pre-order starting today:
IKON - TAKE OFF (3RD FULL ALBUM)
You can choose between the green U version and the blue Tantara (딴따라) version. It is also worth buying both versions as a set, as most of the content differs depending on the version. You can find out exactly what to expect here:
Both versions include a 100-page photo book and of course a CD. Every buyer also gets lots of colorful extras. The first three are all about travel, in keeping with the title “Take Off”: one of six possible passport photos, one of six passport books and one of six luggage tags. The passport photo is a sheet with eight identical photos. So you'll always have some left over, even if you decide to use a few.
There is also one of two possible decorative stickers, one of seven folded posters and three of 30 photo cards. Everything is neatly stored in a box.
If you pre-order the album, you'll also have the chance to win a rare photo card and a signed Polaroid. Attention: Both extras are extremely limited and only happen to be included in a few albums. There are only 100 photocards and 60 signed Polaroids in total. Good luck!
As already mentioned, almost all content is designed differently depending on the version. Only the passport books, the luggage tags and the stickers you can get are the same. But the photo book, the box, the CD, the posters and the photo cards are different. So you're guaranteed not to get a duplicate photo card if you buy the set!
Have you already decided what you're going to get?
Take Off is the boy band's first album under 143 Entertainment.
At the end of 2022, iKON left YG Entertainment, the label where they debuted in 2015 and with which they released 10 albums. Most recently, the Japanese album Flashback (+ I Decide) was released in July 2022. We're keeping our fingers crossed that iKON's reboot will be a success!
If you haven't seen the performance video for Tantara yet, now is the time:
