  • LOLO tells the narrative of a couple in love who wish to hide their relationship. By taking this action, they hope to shield their relationship from outside influences and forces that can jeopardize it.

  • Ponytail is an R&B and soul single that was written by DAX, GRAY, Yugyeom, and featured artist Sik-K. However, he still added it to his newly published full album, even though this track was released last year. With Yugyeom’s gentle vocals that complement the tastefully choreographed music video and a pop of color that reveals the title’s idea, the song is simple to listen to. The greater meaning of the lyrics, which are about falling in love with someone for their “bareface over makeup,” lies underneath that.

  • Dance captures ideas of spontaneity, freedom, unity, and escape.
