About Song
“Smile Park” presents itself as a gentle confession wrapped in summery indie rock arrangements. The production, expertly handled by 9o1 and meticulously mixed by Simin Kim, creates a warm, intimate atmosphere that perfectly complements the song’s shy yet earnest narrative. The music video beautifully captures the story of a protagonist who, rather than joining the laughter in ‘Smile Park’, spends time shyly with flowers, perfectly embodying the tender moments of bashful love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a park scene where moonlight and palm trees serve as witnesses to a budding romance, while the recurring “shy shy shy” refrain adds an endearing touch of vulnerability to the track. The song masterfully balances its indie rock foundation with pop sensibilities, resulting in an instantly memorable debut single.
Release Date: June 24, 2022
