Flight Log: Arrival is the sixth extended play by the South Korean male group Got7. It was released on March 13, 2017, under JYP Entertainment.

Background and composition

Flight Log: Arrival is the third and final installment in the Flight Log trilogy, representing the intensity of youth.[1][2] It consists of eight tracks written and composed by the members,[1] with the exception of the first track, "Never Ever", produced by J.Y. Park;[3] JB and Youngjae are credited under the stage names Defsoul and Ars, respectively. The album sees the group leaning towards EDM and house.[4]

"Never Ever" is a hip hop and future song that opens with synthesizer beats and whose theme is a love with a happy ending,[4][5] while "Paradise" has a tropical sound.[6] "Sign" was written by Youngjae, who built it with the members' voices in mind so that each could sing the most suitable part,[1] and features a classic slow and minimal R&B arrangement.[7] "Shopping Mall" compares the lover to a shopping mall, with references to discounts and air conditioning in the lyrics.[8]

Critical reception

Idology called the album a "safe landing" where the group seemed to have found their final destination after wandering far and wide, citing "Q" and "Out" as the best songs and stating that the latter seemed like an interesting preview of the next album.[9] For NME, "Never Ever" has a disappointing chorus due to the weakening of the build up.[7]
