Huening Kai shares inside stories for Sugar Rush Ride and Devil by the Window with MTV
MTV gave fans much more than just two performances. It included TXT candidly discussing the behind-the-scenes process of Sugar Rush Ride and Devil by the Window.
Starting with the title track Sugar Rush Ride, Heuning Kai revealed that the song was a different challenge for them as it was their first time singing a track like it. He shared that the members tried multiple things with regards to their singing and ultimately, did their best to bring the song to life.
“For Sugar Rush Ride, it was our first time trying a song like this, so it wasn't easy at first. During recording, we'd try things out singing in a certain aching way, and other attempts like that. So we thought a lot on how we could best bring this song to life."
He added:
"As we kept trying, we were influenced a lot by one another. I know that while I was recording, I'd hear the other guys and think, ‘oh, that's one way to record this.'“
As for Devil by the Window, TXT’s maknae shared that it might remind listeners of a Billie Eilish song. He added that all the members did great while recording and pulled off the song’s “vibe” well.
Meanwhile, TXT recently wrapped up their ACT: SWEET MIRAGE World Tour stops in Seoul and Singapore. Starting April 5, they will perform in Taiwan, Japan, and the US. They will also perform at Lollapalooza Chicago as one of the headliners on August 5, 2023.
