The production feels a little empty here, but the song is clearly trying to establish a sense of contrast. From here, I Know I Love You pulls back for a so-so verse. The track lays out this goal right from the start, unveiling a chanted refrain supported by heavy drums. I Know I Love You is at its best when targeting the rafters - going big and bold with anthemic melodies and thundering percussion. The attempt is mostly successful, even if I Know I Love You is unlikely to go down as my favorite of the group’s title tracks. Instead, the guys have gone full-on emo rock, pulling out ripped jeans and hand mics. I mean, TXT excels at moodiness (hello, Ghosting!), but I still crave another Crown-like blast of synth-pop energy. The angsty teasers for I Know I Love You worried me a bit, giving flashbacks to last year’s disappointing Can’t You See Me. As much as I love TXT, it can be a little frustrating how dramatically their sounds and concepts change from album to album. But true to form, the tone and energy of that ice storm teaser is completely different than title track 0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You). This was preceded by a very cool teaser video that delivered the kind of inventive performance and concept K-pop excels at. With the release of their second album, TXT have embarked upon a new “ Chaos” chapter.
