TVXQ's Changmin drops third mini album 'All Of My Life' on October 19

Third mini album, six tracks, one release date

TVXQ's Changmin (최강창민) is dropping his third mini album, All Of My Life, on October 19 across music platforms. SM Entertainment posted teasers to TVXQ's official SNS on October 7 at midnight—free-spirited atmosphere, vivid colors, Changmin looking very much alive.

The six-track album leads with "All Of My Life," a pop rock title track built on emotional electric guitar and intense drums. The lyrics walk through living your own path calmly, no matter what comes, and affirming life as you go.

What the other tracks are doing

Two confirmed album tracks keep the rock-heavy momentum going. Hot Blood pairs distortion guitar and stadium drums with Changmin's vocals and chants, lyrics about breaking limits and surpassing yourself. Yeah We Go hits harder—rough drums, distortion guitar, an energetic rock track about pushing through obstacles to the end. Changmin wrote the lyrics himself.

Solo writing credits aren't new for him. He's previously written lyrics for SHINee's "Sleepless Night," Taemin's "Ace," Kyuhyun's "My Thoughts, Your Memories," and his own solo tracks "Devil" and "Chocolate."

Where this lands in his solo arc

Changmin debuted with TVXQ in 2003—the group behind "Hug," "Rising Sun," "Mirotic," and "The Way U Are"—and launched his solo career in 2020. All Of My Life marks his third mini album as a solo act. (Three mini albums in six years isn't a sprint, but the rock direction across this tracklist reads like a deliberate choice rather than a detour.)

The album drops October 19.
