DAYOUNG made her solo comeback this week, just a couple of weeks after regrouping with the rest of WJSN for Bloom Hour. Her new single, What’s A Girl To Do, follows on from her successful solo debut single body from last year.
What’s A Girl to Do is a pleasant track, but there are some aspects that I wish were better. When I first checked out the release, I noticed it just wisped by without much to remember it by. The lightness of the dance track and DAYOUNG’s airy vocals make What’s A Girl To Do glide in one ear and out the other. There isn’t much of a hook to really remember the song by, and the melodies are low-key and don’t have much of an edge. Its short length of 2:10 minutes is not enough for the song to develop into something memorable. Thus, What’s A Girl To Do didn’t stick for me. There is a bit of a kick to the chorus thanks to the hip-hop beat, but it wasn’t enough to keep the song in my mind by the time it reached my other ear. That being said, when I do sit down and pay attention to it, What’s A Girl To Do is enjoyable (hence my opening statement describing it as “pleasant”). I just wish there was more to it, in many ways.
Similarly, the music video isn’t much, mainly close-ups and choreography. But DAYOUNG does show off a confident and sexy side through her outfits and dancing (more on this in a second). I find it also builds off her image and style from the body music video, which resonates well with me. I also enjoyed the casual and laid-back vibes she and the video exude. What probably made a bigger headline than the video itself was the fact that Shiloh Jolie, daughter of Angelia Jolie and Brad Pitt, was cast as a dancer in the music video.
As for the choreography, it definitely looked impressive. I really enjoyed the charisma and style DAYOUNG brings to the routine. The footwork at the start of the chorus and the outro were the highlights in my eyes. I also liked the use of the hoodie to give off cooler vibes.
