Mark of NCT has officially released the tracklist for his upcoming solo album, The Firstfruit, through a creatively designed video titled “The Firstfruit Air: 13 Travel Guidelines.”

The video cleverly presents each track as a travel guideline and symbolizes a different phase of the singer’s life, chronicling Mark’s life from childhood to adulthood, and stardom.

Breaking Down the Tracklist

Track 1 – “Toronto’s Window”

The opening track pays homage to Mark’s hometown, Toronto.

The scene displays a tray containing personal items like his travel bag, moccasin-esque slippers, headphones, a Canadian passport, and a flight ticket.

Notably, a receipt labeled “1999” references both his birth year and the album’s title track.

Finally, a childhood photo tucked into his wallet hints at the nostalgia embedded in the song.

Track 2 – “1999”

As the artist boards the plane, he takes a seat in row 1999, while a snippet of the track plays. The song is likely a reflection of his roots and formative years.

Track 3 – “Flight to NYC”

This mellow track, with laid-back, lo-fi beats, represents Mark’s first major move to New York City.

This scene captures him gazing out the airplane window as an in-flight announcement signals departure, setting the tone for this reflective chapter.

Track 4 – “Righteous”

In a more intense moment, the video shows Mark in the cramped airplane bathroom, rapping to the track while using a DJ mixer.

As the song builds, bright, flashing lights illuminate the space. The track features a blend of hip-hop and EDM influences, signaling a shift in energy within the album.

Track 5 – “Fraktsiya” (feat. Lee Youngji)

A previously released single from 2024, this track stands as a high-energy collaboration with rapper Lee Youngji.

Track 6 – “Raincouver”

Referencing Vancouver, where the singer attended school, this track embraces a free-spirited, easygoing sound.

The video scene shows a phone on a drink cart, surrounded by water bottles. On its screen, Mark holds an umbrella while singing along to the track, emphasizing the city’s rainy reputation.

Track 7 – “Loser”

This track introduces a more cinematic and emotional side to the album.

The video portrays Mark as the star of a dramatic black-and-white film titled, The Loser, hinting at the song’s introspective nature.

Track 8 – “Watching TV” (feat. Crush)

A feel-good love song featuring singer-songwriter Crush, this track incorporates beautifully layered vocals and a soft pop beat.

This scene humorously shows Mark carrying around a cardboard cutout of Crush, adding a lighthearted touch.

Track 9 – “+82 Pressin'” (feat. Haechan)

Another pre-released track, this song pays tribute to Seoul—the city where Mark achieved his K-pop dreams—by incorporating South Korea’s country code “+82.”

The video captures Mark singing and dancing along to the track in the airplane aisles, before receiving a call from featured artist and fellow NCT member, Haechan.

Track 10 – “200”

The scene for this pre-released track takes a surreal turn, as Mark opens his meal tray to only find rocks.

Meanwhile, a warning sign humorously warns about a “superhuman spider” on board, adding an unexpected, playful twist to the video.

Track 11 – “Journey Mercies”

“Journey Mercies” is a soothing, reflecting track that plays as the NCT artist shares it with fans via live stream.

A unique detail in this scene features him plugging his earbuds into a green pepper—a symbolic image tied to the album’s title and theme.

Track 12 – “Mom’s Interlude”

This emotional piano-driven track pays tribute to the singer’s mother.

The video shows a childhood photo of him on a flyer with tear-off tabs labeled “Love,” reinforcing the song’s sentimentality.

Track 13 – “Too Much”

The album’s final track channels a nostalgic, early 2000s alternative rock vibe, with Mark singing a snippet over the airplane’s intercom.

The video ends with a lingering shot of the green pepper from “Journey Mercies,” the earbuds still plugged in, now embroidered with “The Firstfruit.”

A Reflection of the Past and Future

The Firstfruit promises to be a sonic journey that showcases Mark’s personal and artistic evolution.

Each track serves as a milestone, reflecting the places, memories, and emotions that have shaped him.

Listen to Mark’s first full-length solo album, The Firstfruit, on April 7, and watch the tracklist reveal now.
