NiziU’s Comeback Album Delivers All the Feels
After over two years of anticipation, NiziU is officially back. Their third studio album, ‘New Emotion’, drops on November 19, 2025, and the group just revealed the full tracklist—and it’s a bop buffet.
What’s in the Tracklist?
The album serves up a mix of fresh tracks and upgraded fan favorites. Leading the charge is the title track “♡Emotion” (read: love emotion), a digital-age romance anthem that’s getting an early release with its music video on October 17. Fans already buzzing from the teaser trailer won’t have to wait long to experience it in full.
Other highlights include Japanese versions of “LOVE LINE” and “What If” (first heard in their Korean single), plus the upbeat “Shining day”, famously featured in a commercial starring the group.
