Seven-man K-pop sensation soars to the top of the iTunes album charts in 25 countries with third offering ‘Present: YOU’ and their multilingual smash single ‘Lullaby’, specially recorded to reach out to fans globally

GOT7’s third full-length album “Present: YOU” is excelling on iTunes album charts across the globe, and so is their single Lullaby released in four languages: Korean, English, Mandarin and Spanish.

The album was released on Monday at 6pm local time and soon after topped the iTunes Top Album charts in 25 countries, including Brazil, Finland, Hong Kong, Mexico and New Zealand.

“Present: YOU” is a beautiful compilation of solo tracks by each of the seven members and five other tracks including the lead song Lullaby.

“We decided to record our title track in four languages because we want to communicate better with our international fans and reach out to a wider audience,” member Jinyoung said during Monday’s press conference in Seoul. “The world tour made us feel the love and support of our fans across the globe.”

GOT7 recently wrapped up its “2018 Eyes on You” world tour, which visited 17 cities across Asia, Europe, and North and South America.

When asked about the most difficult language to record in, JB said, “Spanish was hard because even English verses had to be changed to Spanish. We constantly had to check our pronunciation.”

Their single Lullaby is an urban deep house track with dreamy sync sounds. “The song is about the sweet feeling of love as the lyrics say ‘all you say comes to me as a lullaby’,” JB said.
