Background

Critical reception
NME in the review called ‘Thursday’s Child’, another leap forward for TXT, displaying continued inventiveness and improvement, and adding yet more creative credits to their resumes. It also captures TXT's journey of romantic grief, from the stormy "Opening Sequence" to the anger in "Good Boy Gone Bad".

‘Thursday’s Child’ was named the eighth-best K-pop album of 2022 by Billboard, sharing how the group "cover a lot of stylistic ground in just 15 minutes on 'Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child'" while mentioning "Good Boy Gone Bad," "Thursday's Child Has Far to Go" and "Trust Fund Baby" as standouts.
