“Love Red” is Wolf Howl Harmony's first original song and was introduced as an assignment track in the second chapter of the audition program iCON Z ~Dreams for Children~.
The lyrics portray a love song that parallels the members’ passion for singing with romantic feelings. [4]
The music media outlet Real Sound described the song as “a ballad that incorporates elements of hip-hop and R&B into a simple sound, featuring mellow rap parts and high-tone choruses that highlight the members’ vocal abilities.” [5]
During the audition period, the group performed the track as part of a “training journey” project, in which they visited shopping malls across Japan. In gratitude for fans’ support and to express their desire to “continue sharing love” with them, the group named their fanbase “Lovered.” [6]
Member Suzuki stated that his attachment to the song deepened throughout the training journey, commenting that it had become “an irreplaceable track—so much so that we named the fanbase ‘Lovered’ after it.”
Despite the group not having officially debuted yet, “Love Red” reached No. 1 on Spotify’s “Viral Top 50 (Japan)” weekly chart as of February 5, 2023, maintaining the top position for three consecutive weeks. [7] [8]
