In an era where the power of music and technology can converge into larger, meaningful messages, Tomorrow X Together and Samsung have united to deliver a universal anthem that encapsulates the spirit of openness and resilience — a testament to the K-pop act using their platform to voice the sentiments of their generation that have helped them connect so strongly with international music listeners.

Playing off new features like the AI-powered “FlexCam” for better zooming and previews of selfies as well as a more compact design for Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Flip6, the new English single “Open Always Wins” sees Soobin, Yeonjun, Taehyun and HueningKai co-writing with some of their longtime collaborators (like Slow Rabbit, Salem Ilese, Lindgren and Melanie Fontana) to celebrate the idea of openness. First catching listeners ears after being teased at the Galaxy Unpacked July 2024 event earlier this month, the alternative-rock track boasts the arena-ready rock-star vocals TXT have shown in songs like “0x1=Lovesong” and “Deja Vu,” electrifying guitar riffs, as well as the personal touches of the band’s own experiences.
The music video for “Open Always Wins” also amplifies the song’s message with scenes of TXT preparing for a performance with clips of Team Samsung Galaxy athletes (an inspiring group that includes Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics like Sky Brown, Johanne Defay, Madison de Rozario and Jagger Eaton) highlighting their dedication and perseverance in various sports. This visual representation showcases the synergy between music and athleticism and underscores the theme of overcoming challenges through an open mindset.
“We’re excited to collaborate on this meaningful project with Samsung,” Tomorrow X Together said in a statement. “We’ve infused our single with a sincere message of encouragement, rooting for everyone to bravely face challenges without being disheartened by failure. We believe those who overcome and progress through obstacles are the true champions.”
Adds Jamie Park, Samsung Electronics’ VP and Head of the Experience Marketing Group, Mobile eXperience Business, “We are proud to have collaborated with our Galaxy Ambassadors, Tomorrow X Together, to create a brand anthem that encapsulates the spirit of openness authentically. We hope it inspires listeners to embrace openness in their own lives, and the experiences and opportunities that come with it.”
After the single’s release, the fun continues with an accompanying dance challenge aimed at engaging fans worldwide — which the TXT guys have already taken on — as another interactive element for fans and listeners worldwide to participate in as the planet unites for the Olympic and Paralympic Games this summer.
