South Korean band Catch The Young is exploring a heavier musical direction with its latest single, PARANOIA, released October 20. Moving beyond the band's pop-alternative roots, the track combines hard rock with elements of heavy metal, featuring rapid double-bass drumming, powerful guitar arrangements, and soaring melodies. The song explores themes of overcoming fear and self-doubt, encouraging listeners to push beyond their limitations.
The release comes ahead of the band's first UK and European tour this fall. All five members contributed to the composition of PARANOIA, with Namhyun and Kihoon co-writing the lyrics. Jungmo also designed the single's cover artwork.
“PARANOIA is finally out in the world, and we wish you show it a lot of love. I'm also really looking forward to the UK and Europe tour. There's the curiosity of going somewhere we haven't been, and especially the thought of going to the UK, the home of band music, makes it even more exciting. I hope we can put on our best shows together with our fans in Europe as well.” – SANI
“PARANOIA is a bold, energetic track. Thinking about performing it with all of our fans at the shows already gets my heart racing. I really want to play it live as soon as possible, so please listen to PARANOIA, and I hope you give it lots of love.” – NAMHYUN
The band will kick off their UK and European tour, CATCH THE YOUNG 2026 EUROPE TOUR IGNITE EVOLVE in November allowing European fans a chance to hear the new release live. Further details of the tour will be announced through the band’s official channels.
You can listen to PARANOIA on Spotify.
