RESCENE’s “With” starts with a lyrical opening and builds toward a powerful chorus, using that contrast to express the energy of a racing heartbeat. 1 The song leads the group’s fourth mini-album, PULSE, released on November 3, 2026. 1
That shift from opening to chorus makes an inviting place to start with the record. Listen for the change in energy, then consider the scene member Liv described: someone follows a voice calling to them and finally meets a person or presence they’ve dreamed of for a long time. 2 The musical build and Liv’s imagined encounter give the title track two connected ways to approach that rush of anticipation. 2 1
A heartbeat with a lingering scent
PULSE extends RESCENE’s fragrance concept through the idea of a heartbeat, with musk as the scent associated with the album. 1 Minami compared that scent to the warmth shared between the group and the people watching them, and said she hoped the album would linger between them like a subtle, lasting fragrance. 2
It’s a lovely way to frame the contrast in “With”: the chorus reaches for a burst of energy, while Minami’s description imagines the album leaving a more gradual impression. 2 1 Those are two different ideas to carry into a listen—one focused on the instant a heartbeat surges, the other on what might stay with you afterward.
There’s a performance detail to look for, too. Jenna said the choreography includes many movements in which the five members coordinate as if they were one body, and she invited attention to the synergy they create together. 2 Her description makes the group’s shared movement another point of connection with the album’s interest in closeness. 2 1
From calligraphy to an album track
“Baekhwaryoran (Inside Out)” offers a different route into that expressive world. The track began with a phrase Minami had written in calligraphy as a goal for the year; she said she was grateful to sing a song named after a word she loves. 2 Singer-songwriter and producer EJAE joined the song’s composers. 1
The members’ descriptions add another layer to the title. Mei said the song depicts deep feelings and fragrance blooming together as a long-awaited season arrives, while Liv explained that the English subtitle reflects brilliance beginning inside and spreading outward. 2 It’s an appealing companion to “With”: one song imagines an overwhelming meeting, while the other describes an inner feeling opening outward. 2
MHN reported that “With” reached No. 1 on Melon’s Top 100 at 8 p.m. on November 3, two hours after its release. 1 At 9 p.m., “Baekhwaryoran (Inside Out)” was at No. 6, alongside album tracks “Finest Thing” at No. 5, “MEME” at No. 10 and “Dragon” at No. 11. 1
