“Six7een” is a song recorded by South Korea-based Filipino boy band Hori7on, taken from their debut studio album Friend-Ship (2023). It was released as the album’s lead single on July 24, 2023, through MLD Entertainment. A dance track, the song was written by Vermillion Frame and Meang Co. It incorporates a bassline melody in its chorus, and carries an overall message of enjoying one’s youth.

A music video featuring elements of a “high-teen” concept accompanied the single. Hori7on promoted the single through live performances on music programs M Countdown, Music Bank, Simply K-Pop, Show! Music Core, Inkigayo, and The Show. The group subsequently included the song in its set-list for the Voyage to Manila concert in September 2023.

Background and release[edit]

On July 4, 2023, MLD Entertainment announced Hori7on’s debut studio album, Friend-Ship.[1] The track list of the album was later released online on July 12, where “Six7een”, its second track, was marked as the album’s lead single.[2] MLD Entertainment released the first teaser trailer for the single on July 14,[3] while second teaser trailer for the single followed on July 21.[4][5]

In the run-up to the album’s release, audio snippets of the song’s chorus were released on the video platform TikTok, alongside videos of the members performing to the snippet.[6] An audio snippet of the song was included in a “highlight medley” for the album that also featured other snippets from the album.[7]

The single was released alongside the album on July 24.[8] The album also included the song’s instrumental as its final track.[2]

Composition[edit]

Word mark for “Six7een”.

“Six7een” is a dance song written by Vermillion Frame and Meang Co.[9] The song’s title is derived from “six”, which represents “the members’ multiple skills and talents”, and “teen”, which represents the group’s “youthful energy”.[10][11]

With a runtime of three minutes and 11 seconds,[12] the song is composed in the key of F-sharp major and carries an average tempo of 125 bpm.[13] The song is characterized by an “addictive melody and bassline” in its chorus.[14][15] Lyrically, the song sends “a message to everyone to let go of their worries and live in the now as you are only young once”.[16] In an interview with the Inquirer, Vinci described the song as a “summery track that you can listen to while on a road trip or having a party”.[17]

Music video and live performances[edit]

The accompanying music video for “Six7een” was released concurrently with the album on July 24.[18] The music video sees the members perform in vividly colored suits as part of a high-teen concept.[19][20] The Philippine Star reported that the music video for “Six7een” surpassed two million views on YouTube within 24 hours.[21]

Hori7on performed “Six7een” at their debut showcase at the Olympic Hall on July 24, alongside other album tracks, including “How You Feel” and “Death or Paradise”.[22][23] The septet also performed the song at their Voyage To Manila concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on September 9.[24]

The group appeared on several South Korean music programs to promote the single in the weeks following its release,[25] beginning with Mnet‘s M Countdown on July 27, where they performed the single as part of their debut stage, becoming the first all-Filipino boy band to perform on the show.[26][27] The group later promoted the single on KBS2‘s Music Bank,[28] Arirang TV‘s Simply K-Pop,[29] MBC TV‘s Show! Music Core,[30] SBS‘s Inkigayo,[31] and SBS MTV‘s The Show, where they were nominated for “The Show Choice”.[32][33]

Reception[edit]

“Six7een” generally received a positive reception from Philippine-based publications. Writing for Nylon Manila, Rafael Bautista deemed the track as the highlight of Friend-Ship, stating that the song and its title combines “the group’s talents and the youthful energy they exude”.[26] Jashley Ann Cruz of GMA News described the song’s lyrics as “youthful”.[16]
