The song delivers a message of solidarity and encouragement to individuals who have yet to discover their potential. 6 Musically, Baby Flower follows a propulsive, rock-infused route with band elements that create an upbeat attitude, composed by EL CAPITXN, EDENSPACE, and Vendors, with lyrics by Jaden Jeong.

tripleS’s Music Show Win History — A Long Time Coming
This is the moment WAVs have waited for since 2023. For context, tripleS previously won on both Show Champion and The Show for “Generation” (Are You Alive) in May 2025, but this “Baby Flower” win cements their growing dominance in the competitive music show scene.
| Song | Year | Music Show Win |
|---|---|---|
| Generation (Are You Alive) | 2025 | Show Champion + The Show |
| Baby Flower | 2026 | Show Champion (June 10) |
The win is particularly meaningful because “Baby Flower” represents tripleS’s largest full-group comeback to date — with all 24 members promoting together and the album smashing their previous sales record.
Other Performances From This Week’s Show Champion
The June 10 episode featured an exciting lineup of comebacks and stages:
| Artist | Song | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| tripleS | Baby Flower | 🏆 1st Place Winner |
| FIFTY FIFTY | — | Comeback stage |
| IDID | — | New performance |
| TREASURE | IF I | Promoting 4th mini album “NEW WAV” |
| MEOVV | DDI RO RI | Promoting 2nd EP “BITE NOW” |
The competition this week was fierce — TREASURE recently crossed 1 million first-week sales with “NEW WAV,” while MEOVV broke their own sales record with “BITE NOW” hitting 301,725 copies. For tripleS to come out on top against such strong contenders makes this win even more impressive.
About “Baby Flower” — The Song That’s Blooming Everywhere
7 TripleS believes that individuals or units can contain many different genres of music, but they should deliver a firm message when all 24 members are gathered. These days, people are increasingly cynical about what they dream, and K-pop music is full of stimulating shorts, but they still believe that there should be at least one team in K-pop to talk about dreams. Like “Girls Never Die” and “Are You Alive,” “Baby Flower” also tells girls who are suffering from growing pains, saying, “It’s not just you, we’re all the same, so let’s bloom like flowers now.” 6 The accompanying visual project was filmed across four cities — Seoul, Bangkok, Taipei, and Tokyo — featuring the 24 members divided into their four sub-units, with each unit shooting in a different location before reuniting for group scenes in Seoul.
