WEi “Spray” Their Way in New Single
WEi makes a strong comeback in “Spray,” the title track of their fifth mini-album Love Pt.2 : Passion, which was released on October 19, 2022. Their new album is a continuation of Love Pt.1 : First Love. “Spray” was written, composed, and arranged by OUOW and Jang Daehyun, and their new album contains six songs by a mix of talented producers to give each song a different concept that explains WEi’s feelings of love.
When listening to the song originally, there’s a sense of anger and urgency. What are WEi running from? What are they so afraid of? Upon listening further, the state of not knowing where to look and the ever-changing tones convey the different stages of love. You may start with a small crush that you don’t want to admit, but once you pass this stage, you become shy and only able to confess to a friend. But once those feelings develop, a blanket of lust covers you and all you can do is “Spray” your emotions.
The music video shows the determination and strategy of making someone fall for them. It’s not a natural process that can be achieved so easily; it’s something that takes careful planning. There’s a scene where spray-painted words also show the different stages of love, such as “survive.” Is this the heartbreak of a recent breakup and they’re trying to move on? “Destiny.” Is this an obsessive phase of a relationship? However, later in the video, the members use spray bottles as dynamite as they metaphorically unlock the vault that leads to their heart.
You might not expect this pop and hip-hop track to turn sexy unless you understand the lyrics. The lyrics insinuate that something once unreachable could become touched through a confession. Though, it seems the glass board from the music video won’t be the only thing sprayed as WEi are certainly not afraid to “Spray” another type of wall.
