[Album Introduction]
We don't erase a word, we erase limitations.
To a wider world, to a stronger existence.
'(G)I-DLE' is now an identity and a movement.
i-dle 8th Mini Album [We are]
The eighth mini-album [We are], released after all members renewed their contracts, is an album that tells the story of 'us' who have walked together over the past time by changing the 'I' in the 'I' series that started with the debut album [I am] to 'We'. You can feel the ambition of 'us' starting anew while continuing the unique style that has been shown so far.
The title song 'Good Thing', which opens the album, is a song that stands out with Soyeon's unique cool and confident lyrics, such as "This is really funny, haha, really hilarious." The retro sound instruments that lead the entire track and the witty 8-Bit Sound in the second verse add a sensual mood to the song. The second song 'Girlfriend' is also a song that completes Soyeon's own color with a cute comfort to a friend who has gone through a breakup, and the rhythmic drums and guitar sounds meet each member's unique vocals to double the charm of the song.
Woogi's self-composed song, the third track 'Love Tease', is a disco genre song that (G)I-DLE has not tried before, and Woogi's own melodic topline is added to the minimalist retro track to maximize (G)I-DLE's sensual and unique identity. 'Chain' is a song with Minnie's unique dreamy topline, and expresses the sensual changes of (G)I-DLE, who have entered a new chapter, with various sounds. In particular, the bold and direct lyrics boldly capture (G)I-DLE's growth and inner changes.
Miyeon's self-composed song 'Unstoppable', which is included in the group album for the first time, is a groovy and jazzy pop track in the R&B genre, and the novel-like lyrics combined with emotional words add to the fun of listening to the song. Shuhua's ballad song 'It's Okay Anyway', in which she participated in writing lyrics for the first time in 8 years since her debut, completes the last track by fully capturing Shuhua's delicate and warm emotional lines despite being her first time writing lyrics.
This album, which aims to capture the aspect of an artist who has broken away from the existing framework through bold attempts and unpredictable expressions to express a new beginning and a high leap, contains the meaning of 'us' in the album by having all members participate in writing and composing for the first time since their debut, and you can clearly feel the musical style of each member in each track.
The eighth mini-album [We are] declaring the new beginning of (G)I-DLE
I hope that the second story of '(G)I-DLE' starting with 'us' will reach everyone with a nonchalant yet intense feeling.
01. Good Thing
No song introduction.
02. Girlfriend
Strangely enough, Girlfriend was written in 2022, but it was judged that it would be more suitable in 2025, so it is now being released.
The genre is pop that is good to listen to while driving, and the cool melody and group singing are attractive.
The refreshing lyrics 'Throw that man away, I'm here' are impressive, and if you meet him again, you're dead.
03. Love Tease
'Love Tease' with Woogi's sophisticated mood added to the vintage charm of dynamic bass, rhythmic drums, and analog sound instruments
Love? Pretending not to know even though you know. 'Love Tease' is like Woogi, a little different.
Old? That's not our style.
Modern mood in vintage sound
(G)I-DLE like this, Woogi like this again
04. Chain
(G)I-DLE's new chapter, 'Chain' that tightly binds us.
Minnie's unique dreamy atmosphere, direct language, and unrefined emotions.
05. Unstoppable
Even if you stagger and are pushed by the storm, you will eventually reach the answer that is you.
Miyeon's self-composed song 'Unstoppable', which is included in the group album for the first time, is a medium R&B pop track with a harmonious combination of groovy drums, jazzy chords, and warm brass, adding three-dimensionality by smoothly crossing a wide range, and Miyeon's unique warm lyrics increase the immersion of the song.
06. It's Okay Anyway
To the immature and very painful me at that time
I carefully speak.
It's okay not to try to find the answer,
All those feelings were just passing by.
I'm okay now.
So I want to tell you.
That I endured it really well at that time…
