Typing ...
STAYC's Digital Single [ ...l ]
"Aren't you curious about me?"
"It always seems like you don't need me, but I need you."
STAYC, who has been experimenting with new changes in each album, has evolved into bold crush confessors this fall. They sing about the hidden growth story of STAYC, themed around a 'failed crush' that resonates with the 10-20s generation.
The album title [ ...l ] (dot dot dot) suggests a messenger screen showing ‘Typing ...’ but no response, evoking the feeling of waiting for unanswered messages. The title track 'GPT' compares someone I have a crush on to ‘GPT’, as an uninterested person who responds bluntly to continuous questions. Meanwhile, STAYC confess straightforwardly where emotions are sincerely confronted.
1. GPT
The title track 'GPT' combines funky rhythms with chill synth sounds, infused with French House vibes. Expressing longing towards someone with STAYC's witty style, lyrics like "Answer me, GPT, aren't you curious about me?" stand out. The song starts with a fairy tale-like intro and transitions into a dreamy tempo change, creating an impressive composition.
Additionally, the included 'GPT - Instrumental' allows focused appreciation of the urban French House feel of the title track, while 'GPT - Acapella' highlights warm emotions and tender vocals, suitable for various remixes.
2. 너란 별을 만나 (Meant To Be)
The track 'Meant To Be' pairs well with the title track 'GPT' as a sentimental couple song. Inspired by a girl who time leaps, it portrays a tender confession story of two people who meet across different times and universes. In the lyrics, "I’ve crossed long periods of time and the universe to meet the star, and it’s you."
