그룹 '투모로우바이투게더'(TXT)가 미국 밴드 '조나스 브라더스(Jonas Brothers)'와의 협업으로 이목을 모으고 있다.
23일 투모로우바이투게더 소속사 빅히트 뮤직에 따르면, 투모로우바이투게더는 조나스 브라더스와 컬래버레이션한 새 디지털 싱글 '두 잇 라이크 댓(Do It Like That)'을 7월 7일 오후 1시에 발매한다.
이날 투모로우바이투게더 공식 SNS에는 'Do It Like That'의 트랙 포스터가 게재되 기대감을 모았다. 투모로우바이투게더는 23일 트랙 하이라이트, 29일 콘셉트 포토, 7월 6일 뮤직비디오 티저, 7일에는 뮤직비디오를 차례로 공개할 계획이다.
이번 협업은 지난 5월 투모로우바이투게더가 월드투어로 미국을 방문했을 당시, '두 잇 라이크 댓' 데모곡을 들은 뒤 여름에 발표하면 좋겠다는 의견을 내면서 이뤄졌다고. 이에 조나스 브라더스 역시 동의했다.
투모로우바이투게더는 오는 8월 미국 시카고에서 열리는 세계적인 음악 페스티벌 '롤라팔루자'에 헤드라이너로 초청받았다. 또 지난 1월 발매한 미니 5집 '이름의 장: 템테이션(TEMPTATION)'으로 '빌보드 200'에서 1위를 거머쥐었다.
조나스 브라더스는 진입과 동시에 1위를 거머쥐며 핫샷 데뷔했다. 데뷔곡 '서커(Sucker)'를 포함, 26곡을 미국 빌보드 메인 싱글차트 '핫 100'에 올렸다. '서커'는 미국 레코드산업협회로부터 500만 유닛 이상 판매된 음원에 주어지는 '5x 멀티 플래티넘' 인증을 받았다.
한편, 투모로우바이투게더와 조나스 브라더스가 협업한 신곡 'Do It Like That'은 7월 7일 오후 1시(한국시간) 각종 국내외 음원 스트리밍 플랫폼을 통해 공개된다.
