ALPHA DRIVE ONE has released the music video for its digital single “Talk to Me,” giving fans a cinematic, romance-driven visual to accompany the track. According to SPOTV News, the video was posted on the group’s official YouTube channel on October 27, while the group is actively promoting the single on music shows.
The video opens with a film-like, romantic mood and a cinematic look that sets the tone from the first scenes. ALPHA DRIVE ONE appears in natural, travel-inspired settings, as if meeting a loved one on a trip, with longing looks and a warm, intimate atmosphere running through the footage. The members are shown swimming under the sea and floating on the water, alternating between realistic and dreamlike imagery in a way that blurs the line between reality and fantasy.
Wet-look styling adds to that seaside feeling, completing the sense of spending time alone together at the beach. Throughout the video, the members’ intense gazes and delicate direction stand out, according to the SPOTV News report, keeping the focus on closeness and conversation rather than on a high-energy performance alone. The result is a softer, more romantic presentation of the group, one that leans into mood and storytelling.
“Talk to Me” itself is described as an indie alt-pop track that blends a refreshing synth sound with a sensuous R&B groove. The members’ individual vocal colours and sweet vocals carry lyrics that unfold feelings of excitement and romance in a lyrical, understated way. That combination of bright synths, smooth groove and ocean-evocative production gives the song a light, summery feel, even as the video frames it as a quiet, two-person getaway.
Soompi’s coverage places the video in a short rollout that began earlier in October. The group released a “Cinema Poster” and “Cinema Cuts” for “Talk to Me” on October 21, followed by the digital single on October 22, with a music video teaser following on October 24. The full video arrived on October 27. “Talk to Me” is a B-side track from the group’s latest album, “UNBREAKABLE : 少年BEAST,” and the digital single also includes a dance break version and an instrumental version, according to BroadwayWorld.
The release comes at a busy moment in what has already been a remarkable debut year for ALPHA DRIVE ONE. The group was formed from the final members selected through Mnet’s “BOYS II PLANET” and made its official debut in January with its first mini-album, “EUPHORIA,” becoming a million-seller upon debut, according to SPOTV News. BroadwayWorld reports that the group’s second mini-album, “UNBREAKABLE : 少年BEAST,” sold 1.13 million copies in its first week in Korea, according to Hanteo Chart, while “EUPHORIA” sold more than 1.44 million copies in its first week, described as the second-highest first-week figure ever for a K-pop group’s debut album.
That momentum has also shown up on international charts. BroadwayWorld reports that the first physical album version of “UNBREAKABLE : 少年BEAST,” released in the United States on October 2, entered three Billboard charts for the week of October 17: No. 5 on the World Albums chart, No. 9 on the Emerging Artists chart and No. 20 on the Top Album Sales chart. The same report notes that ALPHA DRIVE ONE became the only K-pop act that debuted in 2026 to reach the Top 5 on that week’s World Albums chart, and that the album also reached No. 1 on QQ Music’s daily Digital Album EP Chart in China and No. 2 on Japan’s Oricon Daily Album Ranking.
Against that backdrop, “Talk to Me” works as a deliberate change of pace. Rather than leading with a harder title-track sound, the group is spotlighting a fan-favourite B-side with a romantic, travel-themed video, showing a softer side while its album-era promotions continue. The choice also gives the song a second life beyond the album, with a dedicated digital single, a dance break version for performance stages and now a full music video of its own.
ALPHA DRIVE ONE will continue its second week of music show activities with “Talk to Me,” according to the reports, giving fans further stages to watch as the video circulates online.
