All Songs VIXX (빅스) (Lyrics)

VIXX (Korean: 빅스 pronounced "vicks"; acronym for "voice, visual, value in excelsis"[1][2]) is a South Korean boy band formed by Jellyfish Entertainment through the 2012 reality show MyDOL. The group is composed of six members: N, Leo, Ken, Ravi, Hongbin and Hyuk. They are predominantly known as a concept or performance group whose music, lyrics, choreography, and overall stage performances are crafted together to tell a story or concept.

On May 15, 2017, VIXX released their fourth mini album Shangri-La.[94][95][96][97][98] It was a part of a three-event festival titled VIXX V FESTIVAL to celebrate their fifth anniversary since their debut. The festival began on May 12 with their VIXX Live Fantasia Daydream concert and ended with an exhibition titled VIXX 0524.[99][100][101] Shangri-La charted at number 2 on the Gaon album chart, at number 3 on Taiwan's FIVE-MUSIC Korea-Japan Album Chart and at number 4 on Billboard's world albums chart, with the title song "Shangri-La" charting at number 13 on the Gaon Digital Chart and number 6 on Billboard World Digital Songs. Shangri-La sold cumulative 73,116 copies in May.[102] On September 27, 2017, VIXX released their first Japanese extended play Lalala ~ Thank you for your love ~ (ラララ ～愛をありがとう～). Upon its release the album charted at number one in the Oricon Daily CD album charts.[103][104][105]

On April 17, 2018, VIXX released their third full studio album Eau de VIXX, featuring "Scentist" (Hangul: 향), the lead single inspired by scents. The album charted at number 1 on the Gaon Weekly Album Chart and at number 3 on Billboard's US World albums.[106][107]

On September 26, 2018, VIXX released their third full Japanese album, Reincarnation, with a total of 10 songs. The album contains songs from Eau de VIXX but also presents new songs that explore VIXX's artistry by showing a different concept of scent through the title song Reincarnation, as a personification of a flower that is destined to bloom.

On February 1, 2019 VIXX released their single Walking which they sang on their 5th fan meeting V TOY STORY on January 27. They wanted to thank their fans and cheer them up before the coming enlistment date of two of the members.

The members are heavily involved in the development of their concepts and their "commitment to concept is especially impressive with live performances of songs".[109] Micah Levin Isla from The Philippine Star commented, "You can be someone who'll never be truly on board with this whole K-Pop craze. But there's something about VIXX that's really fascinating and intriguing. Their music and appeal have this lingering effect."[110] VIXX has cemented a "niche in the theatrical side of K-pop" with performances that follow a storyline that is carefully put together.[109] In a review of one of their concerts, journalist Park Jung Sun commented, "They presented live performances which broke prejudices people have towards idols. VIXX presented a musical-like stage as coming off from the-usual-concert which displays singing and dancing. VIXX led their fans to UTOPIA that they constructed".

With many of their releases, VIXX has tackled themes such as hope, dreams, falling madly in love with a girl although it hurts, such in the songs "On and On" (Hangul: 다칠 준비가 돼 있어), which literally translates into "I'm Ready to Get Hurt", "Voodoo Doll" and "Chained Up"; breaking up with their lovers "Love Equation", "Don't Want to Be An Idol"'; generally sad or dark love songs, with the themes of obsession and insanity such as the songs "Hyde" and "G.R.8.U"; and emotional breakdown in "Error" and the timelessness of love in "Eternity". Most, if not all of their songs, play on the depth of raw human emotion. VIXX plays an active role producing their music, with all members participating in the ideas and concepts. Majority of the members have an active role in their music. Ravi, Leo, Hyuk and most recently N and Ken play an active role in composition and lyric-writing of their songs.
