Nayeon Stuns With Sophomore Album, NA

Nayeon is back! Returning two years after her solo debut and the success of IM NAYEON, her latest mini-album, NA, is her entry into the summer season of comebacks. The TWICE member delivers a fun, fierce, and addictive album that will be sure to be stuck in everyone’s repeat list for quite some time and have everyone talking. 

Tracklist: 

  1. “ABCD”

  2. “Butterflies”

  3. “Heaven” (feat. Sam Kim)

  4. “Magic” (Feat. JULIE of KISS OF LIFE)

  5. “HalliGalli” (Prod. By LEE CHANHYUK of AKMU)

  6. “Something

  7. “Count”

“ABCD”

As the lead track for this sophomore album, “ABCD” solidifies Nayeon as the “It Girl” in K-Pop, and this song and music video are absolutely to die for. “ABCD” specifically is the older sister to its predecessor “POP,” as it features a more mature side to Nayeon. While “POP” is a bright and cute song, “ABCD” taps into her inner prowess that is confident and charismatic. Nayeon knows that once you get a look, you simply can’t get enough, and she’s got you falling for her more. 

“ABCD” is your quintessential summer smash hit, with its addictive beat and repetitive and catchy chorus that is layered with funky drums and guitar. The music video features Nayeon strutting her stuff and capturing the attention of others, fully knowing that she is that girl. The lyrics of the song mention that she knows that you see her and that you’re gonna fall in love. The music video also highlights the choreography of the song. Perhaps the best part is the dance break that features Nayeon in a cute white tank top, denim shorts, and Timberlands with the idol set against a city backdrop, making Nayeon shine. 

When it comes to the album, it’s a collaborative masterpiece featuring the talents of Sam Kim and JULIE of KISS OF LIFE. The album is a perfect blend of dance tracks and ballads, showcasing Nayeon’s vocal power. If you haven’t delved into it yet, you’re missing out on a solid solo album, as fans have been pointing out on social media. Nayeon is in her Beyonce “Crazy In Love” era, and the album is a testament to her artistry and versatility.
