The members of the group were promoted using various meanings (digital single, sub-unit activities and even MCing) and did so during many months prior to debut, getting them a lot of attention from the media. On January 8th, 2012, the first episode of their pre-debut reality show MTV “Ta-Dah! It’s B.A.P” aired, revealing the remaining three members to the public. Their first single “WARRIOR” was released on January 26th 2012 and they officially debuted on January 27th 2012 on KBS Music Bank, followed on the 28th by a huge showcase held at the Jangchung Gymnasium, where more than 3,000 fans attended. They secured their spot as rookies who brightly shined the 2012 music industry by sweeping the rookie awards for various end-of-the-year award ceremonies. On February 12th, 2014, B.A.P won their first public broadcast win, two years after debuting, at MBC Show Champion with their title song "1004 (Angel)". After 7 years together, B.A.P decided to disband in 2019.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fans, my fams and everyone
That's why I do the best I can
(I'm from zero) uh huh
'Cause I know what blessed I am
Yeah, you gotta hold on, you na mean? Huh
누구나 Superman 또는 Batman을
이건 랩이 아닌 따끔한 충고
Name value가 편 가르는 구조
언제부턴가 변질됐는지 아이돌은 왕자 또는 공주
니들이 마치 뭐가 된 줄 착각에 빠질 때마다 난 배워 I hate you
Hey my fellow 거기 내 말 좀 들어 hello
Loco get a coco say 뚜뚜뚜뚜루뚜뚜
Hey there haughty 이제 됐어 너만의 party
Loco get a coco boom stop
Yes I'm hero (hero) 너와 달라 날 follow
아무리 내게 맞서려 해도 날 막을 순 없어
I'm from zero (zero) 알 수 없어 넌 hollow
언젠간 무너지고 말 거야 you ain't got halo, yeah
Oh eh oh, oh eh oh eh oh
I just wanna make you like this just breaking the mold
Oh eh oh, oh eh oh eh oh
I just wanna make you like this just breaking the mold
내가 최고란 말들이 제일 역겨워
시대흐름도 모르는 것들
파운데이션과 아이라인 거짓말뿐인
브라운관 내 속은 더러워
R&B를 슬프게 부르니 난 눈물이나 말 못해
보기 싫다 Hollywood star가 된 듯한
높은 콧대 차라리 이런 날 욕해
Hey my fellow 거기 내 말 좀 들어 hello
Loco get a coco say 뚜뚜뚜뚜루뚜뚜
Hey there haughty 이제 됐어 너만의 party
Loco get a coco boom stop
Yes I'm hero (hero) 너와 달라 날 follow
아무리 내게 맞서려 해도 날 막을 순 없어
I'm from zero (zero) 알 수 없어 넌 hollow
언젠간 무너지고 말 거야 you ain't got halo, yeah
우리가 좀 잘났죠 아무리 잘나가도
할 말들은 전부 뱉어 우릴 말리지 말아줘
우리가 좀 잘났죠 아무리 잘나가도
You and you, you 니들과는 달라 비교하지 말아줘
Yes I'm hero (hero) 너와 달라 날 follow
아무리 내게 맞서려 해도 날 막을 순 없어

The lyrics of B.A.P's song 0 (ZERO) are a callout to the superficial nature of the entertainment industry and the notion of celebrity worship. The song portrays the artist's rejection of the common narrative of aspiring to be like superheroes like Superman or Batman, which are often used as a metaphor in popular media to depict the image of perfection, as it creates unrealistic expectations for both the artists and fans alike. The artists highlight that everyone has their struggles, and it is impossible to be perfect.
The lyrics mock the notion of fame and the idea that it is a panacea to all problems. The song is a reflection of the artist's journey in the music industry, conveying that being yourself is more important than trying to fit in with what is perceived as 'cool.' Any form of criticism from those in the industry is often viewed as 'hate,' and through the lyrics, B.A.P reject such negative critics who undermine the artists' credibility.
Furthermore, the song emphasizes the unique struggles of the artists as they strive to break free from stereotypes within the industry, and the exclusionary ideals that make it much harder for them to overcome. The lyrics convey the message that everyone is unique and should embrace their individuality. The song "ZERO (0)" highlights the importance of staying grounded and staying true to oneself while navigating the entertainment industry.
