IVE‘s Jang Won-young “I put ‘Lucky Vicky’s mindset into writing the lyrics for my first title song”

IVE‘s Jang Won-young and Liz revealed their thoughts on their participation in writing the lyrics.

First, Jang Won-young said, “I participated in writing the lyrics for the title song ‘Attitude’ at the press conference to commemorate the release of the third mini-album ‘IVE EMPATHY’ held at the Grand Ballroom of the Conrad Seoul Hotel in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul on the 3rd. She said, “In a situation that cannot be changed, the only thing that can be changed is my ‘attitude’ with which to accept the situation, so it is a song about accepting an unchangeable situation in a cheerful way. The lyrics are written with that mindset as much as I received love for ‘Lucky Vicky’. I hope you love it a lot,” he said.

Liz participated in writing the lyrics for “‘Thank U’. It’s a song that I like because the members‘ voices blend together. There’s a lyric that says, ‘I hope we keep the six forever’. It contains my true heart, and I think many people will like it when they listen to it.”

The new album ‘Ive Empathy’ is an album that adds a different charm to the team color based on ‘Independent confidence’, which is the identity that symbolizes Ive. They wanted to spread the positive thinking of ‘Self-confidence’ to the world once again, while at the same time throwing out a new topic of ‘empathy’. The album contains a total of 6 tracks, including the pre-released track ‘REBEL HEART’, the double title track ‘ATTITUDE’, ‘FLU’, ‘You Wanna Cry’, ‘Thank U’, and ‘TKO’.

Jang Won-young and Leez participated in writing the lyrics for the title track ’Attitude‘ and the b-side track ’Thank U‘, respectively. Jang Won-young, who has previously written lyrics for Ive‘s ‘Mine’, ‘Shine With Me’, ‘OTT’, ‘Blue Heart’, participated in writing the lyrics for a title track for the first time, while Leez challenged herself with writing lyrics for her first time since her debut. The album will be released today (the 3rd) at 6 PM (KST).
