The accompanying music video is a captivating blend of cinematic storytelling and fashion magazine aesthetics, with each member of the group taking on a unique character in the narrative. Leader YEONJAE assumes the role of ‘The Boss,’ lead vocalist HYORI becomes ‘The Supporter,’ main vocalist YEWON transforms into a ‘Bond Girl,’ main rapper JIA embodies a ‘Gangster,’ and the maknae, YUNJU, plays the role of a ‘Thief.’

This exciting new endeavor adds a fresh layer of creativity to their music and underscores their versatility as artists. The lyrics of “TIPSY” paint a vivid picture of attraction and infatuation, where the irresistible charm of the subject is likened to the feeling of being under the influence. It’s a love story told with a twist, so to speak, and mimiirose’s emotive delivery and infectious melodies make it impossible not to get caught up in the intoxicating allure of the song.

A-OK

Get ready to groove to the beat of a new teenage pop sensation with “A-OK,” a song that’s bursting with refreshing vibes and a message that’ll have you ready to embark on a journey in search of new love. This infectious b-side track is all about leaving the past behind and embracing the excitement of the unknown. With its upbeat tempo and catchy melodies, “A-OK” invites listeners to let go of what’s holding them back and take a leap into the world of new possibilities.

FLIRTING (acoustic)

The acoustic rendition of this reggae-infused moombahton pop dance track offers a refreshing and intimate perspective on the celebration of unconventional love in the Gen Z era. Stripped of its electronic beats and pulsating rhythms, the song’s core message shines through with raw emotion and vulnerability. The acoustic version allows the listener to truly immerse themselves in the lyrics and the essence of the song, offering a more profound connection to the theme of unorthodox love. While this song was a special gift to fans and is only available on YouTube, it’s still worth nothing for in beautiful essence and contrasting elegance to the original version.
