Da Capo (Italian music term meaning "from the beginning") is the seventh studio album by South Korean one-man project band Toy. It was released on November 18, 2014, by Antenna Music and distributed by CJ E&M Music.

The album drew attention as various musicians collaborated with the band for the album as featured artists; Sung Si-kyung, Kim Dong-ryool, Lee Juck, Sunwoo Jung-ah, Dynamic Duo, Crush, Beenzino, Zion.T, Kwon Jin-ah, Lee Soo-hyun of Akdong Musician, and Lim Kim of Togeworl.[1]

Da Capo has spawned two singles, the number-one hit "Three of Us"[2] and the top 20 song "Reset". The album, co-produced by Yoo Hee-yeol (the band's sole member) and Shin Jae-pyung (of electronic duo Peppertones),[3] is Toy's first full-length release after a seven-year hiatus since Thank You (2007).

"Three of Us"

[edit]

"Three of Us" (Korean: 세 사람; RR: Se Saram), the album's lead single, is a 10-year sequel to "Good Person" (Korean: 좋은 사람; RR: Joeun Saram), which was served as the lead track for the group's fifth studio album Fermata (2001). Performed by Sung Si-kyung, this song follows the pitiful emotions of a man who has to watch the happiness of his two friends before their wedding, never expressing his love.[2]

It was announced that actor Yoo Yeon-seok and former Miss Korea Kim Yu-mi starred in the song's music video.[4]
