IU music spans so many genres. Everyone knows and loves her ballads (best ever) - but songs like blackout, flu, bbibbi, palette, coin, amongst others (not to mention her collars) explore this type of beat / rhythm also. Anyone just finding IU is in for a wonderful journey…
I'm not surprised after being a ueana for over a decade this is the girl that gave us 23 the red shoes above the time bbibbi coin and she's still giving!!! i don't like when ppl say things like this but SHE IS THE MUSIC INDUSTRY SHE IS KPOP!!!! HOLYSHE
you should notice, it was shot in LA!! oh btw, IU will have her 1st World Tour, she's going to have 6 stops in the US. It's her first time to have a concert in America in July - Aug this year
If you haven't yet check out Blackout. And here is my interpretation so far. And based on the fact virtual everything in an IU MV as some kind of meaning related to the story. The video is shot in LA which I is a key to what the song is about. This is the 1st time IU has made a video in the US and Guess what she is having at least 6 concerts here. Don't tell me there isn't a connection. There have been a lot of people, in Korea particularly, who have say and have been saying, that IU doesn't need to prove herself by going to the US or Europe. But here she is about to launch her 1st world tour that includes Europe the US. It seems as if she is talking to directly to someone, and telling then here plans and to not worry about her she has this. She spreading herself like Dandylion spores on the wind. She isn't going to settle on smooth ground (i.e. taking the easy way). She says she is a single spore (a soloist). On a different road. Fly high to bloom. (To reach her full potential) If any asks how I'm doing Send them the news "She has become a spore" (she has taken to the wind, flying without wings where she lands nobody knows, meaning how will things turn out no body knows). Follow me, gonna go and win (she will succeed on this different road). Follow me, even without wings (on social media etc she will be visible ) I'll fly in the center for everyone to see (like her last 4 indoor concerts in the round, she wont shy away and hide) Where she will be it will be sunny and hot she will need her sun glasses (in the US in July you need sunglasses everywhere). The sky above is blinding. But I'm not afraid of heights at all. (She is not afraid of the risk she is taking. A risk many others are fearful of for her.) I'll fly so close to the scorching sun (she will push the risk factor in order to succeed. ) But she will sit on a cloud (and enjoy the show) And she might cause a little ruckus while she's at it just for fun. (meaning watch out, expect the unexpected) The road ahead won't be easy. (She knows that will be hard) But I won't fuss about it (she won't complain or make excuses) This was my choice, it always has been (no one pressured her or said to truely make it you have to make it in the US. It's her choice and always has been. Whatever happens it's on her no one else). The odds of it being easy are zero (acknowledging she is fully aware of what she is embarking on) Wish you all good luck. I'll even say goodbye (this sounds too much like her lyric in Eight where she is angry that her friends just come and go as they please without even saying good bye. But she is saying goodbye, possibly saying she isn't committing career suicide? ) May God be with ya See, (she said goodbye) see ya Tweety pie reference is definitely important and significant. I'll admit I am still a little confused by it, but here it goes anyway. Tweety is caged and only leaves the cage and takes flight to escape Sylvester always returning to the safety of the cage. Could it be IU's way of saying that she is leaving the cage and it's risky to do so but sometimes in order to survive (escape Sylvester the cage can become a trap and leaving it is required to survive but never leaving it permanently) you leave. But the safety of the cage is always there and Tweety always returns to it. By filming this in the US with American dancers she is establishing a connection to her western audience. It is also interesting that the child looking out at the other kids dancing with IU, and appears to be interested but also a little nervous appears to be of Asian descent. (Meaning could be the child in IU that is still a little nervous or when she was younger the thought of doing what she is now doing was scary or that she is acknowledging those in Korea who worry about her) the worrying about her however extents to all her fans around the world. At the end she allows the cartoonish IU go as the real IU, who is no longer wearing the Dandylion outfit of the ballon/kite gets ready to head out on her different road.
This is honestly my favorite comeback from IU ever! I've been a fan from the beginning and absolutely love when she tries something new! I want more rapper IU!
The "rap" part gave me major BiBi vibes and because of that now i need this collab to happen because that would simply be the best thing to ever happen.
This is totally different from her usual and I love this SO MUCH! I’m blown away by this!!!!!!!!!!!!❤️🔥🤘🏼🤘🏼
