Falling in Love With “GPT” Like STAYC
“STAYC GIRLS, IT’S GOING DOWN!” That’s right, after their first full-length album, STAYC is back with a short but sweet single release. …I - Single is a cute upbeat EP that has four total tracks.
…I - Single Tracklist:
“GPT”
“Meant To Be”
“GPT (Instrumental)”
“Meant To Be (Instrumental)”
Title Track: “GPT”
When I heard the beginning, I thought this would be a ballad. In the video, you see the girls looking magical, walking through the woods as people in white robes are shown. Then you are hit with a beat that makes you jump up and dance. “GPT” incorporates house music and their usual upbeat, bubbly pop music. While the music and sound of the song is upbeat, the lyrics are about the heartbreak of loving someone who doesn’t love you back. GPT is used as a figure of speech in this song. In the lyrics, you can see the girls saying “I love you” to the GPT and only getting “.....” back. The members are saying loving their partner is like talking to a GPT since they won’t get the same feelings back. It’s such a cool and unique way to express the feeling of feeling unloved.

B-Sides
“Meant To Be” is the R&B track that we needed. This track is so 90s/2000s coded. The moment it starts, you are hit with this groovy dance track that makes you want to sway along. STAYC’s B-sides always hit and “Meant To Be” is a dreamy track that makes me want to put on my headphones jam.
The last two songs on the EP are the instrumentals of the title track and B-side. For those who love a good instrumental to listen to, these two are it. You can clearly hear the arrangement of each song, and it’s really cool.
