(on “playboy”) jonghyun: there’s a group / team by the name of exo, right? i gave them a song called “playboy”. i participated in the writing of the song and the lyrics and, because there was no chance for it to be heard on blue night (before), i’m introducing it today. the song is about a bad boy. when my exo friends were still considered rookies i heard their first studio album (and decided that i wanted to write a song for them). it’s a song that i started making while thinking about wanting to try and write a song for them just once. it went well somehow and exo ended up singing it. personally, i like that this song has three connecting beats; “dat, da, da”. one beat is being split into three. usually it can be split into two or four but, if it’s being split into three, then i have to write 3.33333 beats. so, it has the charm of having the groove rely on the individuality of the person singing it a bit more. so, i wondered how it would be like if exo sang it. it’s a song that i’m proud of because it got understood well.
