The lead track of this album, “EMPIRE,” is a stylish and edgy song that boldly samples the Mozart masterpiece “Symphony No. 25 in G Minor,” a piece that everyone has heard.
The song combines the grandeur of classical music with a modern dance beat, and expresses the members’ strong will, making it a song that breaks new ground for Snow Man.

This music video was shot overseas in the impressive and magnificent location of Barcelona, Spain, and expresses the feelings and determination to move towards a bright future. After many discussions between the members and staff, it took three full days to complete the video. The powerful dance performed by a total of 54 people, including the dancers, in the last chorus is a masterpiece.
