EPEX is back with a fresh and exciting pre-release single, “My Girl,” setting the stage for their highly anticipated second full-length album. This release comes six months after their successful first full-length album, Youth Chapter 1: YOUTH DAYS, and offers a delightful new sound from the group.
The Charm of “My Girl”
“My Girl” is an upbeat, playful love song that beautifully captures the nervousness and excitement of falling in love. The lyrics are sincere and heartfelt, reflecting the innocence and awkwardness that often come with expressing romantic feelings. Musically, the track boasts an infectious R&B hip-hop vibe, featuring a groovy bassline, strong synth pads, and catchy synth melodies that make it hard not to dance along.
The production team behind “My Girl” is just as impressive as the song itself. With credits on hit tracks for groups like EXO, STRAY KIDS, and SHINee, the team’s influence shines through, giving the song a polished yet fresh energy that perfectly suits EPEX’s youthful image.
