9 (G)I-DLE b-sides you can add to your playlist!
(G)I-DLE is a girl group that debuted in 2018 with their lead single, “Latata.” Currently, the group consists of five members: Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon, Yuqi, and Shuhua. They are praised for breaking stereotypes and empowering their fellow peers. They also participate in producing and composing their own songs.
Other than their catchy and fun title tracks, they also have a lot of good b-sides. Here are 9 of them that you may want to add to your playlist!
What’s Your Name
“What’s Your Name” is an EDM song a part of their extended play (EP), “I made.” Its energetic progression encourages you to focus on what is now and forget the pain of the past.
Maze
“Maze” is a pop song that you can dance to! With Soyeon participating in its writing, it is a part of their first EP, “I am.” It likens chasing someone to being trapped in a maze, figuring them out. The bridge part where they turn the tables on the other person was really satisfying, “Now you’re in my maze.”
Lucid
“Lucid” is the third track in their EP, “I feel,” with Minnie and Soyeon participating in its writing. The steady bass-organ harmony in this song gives it a cool vibe.
Sculpture
“Sculpture” is an interesting track. It has a light and upbeat melody which contrasts its sad lyrics, where the persona changes themselves to fit the standards of their partner. It is the fifth track in their EP, “I love,” with Minnie and Soyeon participating in its writing.
Maybe
“Maybe” is a dance-pop song and the third track in their EP, “I trust.” According to Soyeon, it represents the confusion one feels when they starts to believe in themselves. The abrupt change in tone of the song once “maybe” was uttered out represents this well.
7Days
“7Days” is the fifth track off of their second album, “2,” with Minnie participating in its writing. The guitar riff used in the song adds to the emotional and dreamy quality of the song.
MOON
Minnie and Soyeon participated in writing “MOON,” the third track in their EP, “I burn.” It is a pop track where the persona reveals their true feelings at night, where the moon is the only witness. It’s a melancholic yet calming song.
ESCAPE
“ESCAPE” is a calming pop track from their first full album, “I NEVER DIE,” with Minnie and Soyeon participating in its writing. It serves as a comfort to those who may need it.
Neverland
“Neverland” is the fourth track from their EP, “I SWAY,” with Miyeon and Yuqi credited as writers. It’s an emotional song that is dedicated to (G)I-DLE’s fans, Neverland (or Nevie), their comfort and home.
Recently, Minnie debuted as a soloist with her EP, “HER.” Check it out if you haven’t yet! #여자아이들 #GIDLE
