>BLUE wasn’t the original title. the original title was “Bound to Lose” 🥺
>There were two songs – one that’s more performance heavy, another one is blue which highlights the vocals more. and Minjeong thought a lot about which one she should go with. But blue is the song that she’ll also listen until the end. and she could picture herself performing the song on stage like how it’ll look and how she would deliver it.
>The other song is also a song that minjeong thinks the fans would like because it’s a good song and would show a different side of her. Eventually, they went with blue because both minjeong and the A&R unnie really like the song. they changed the title to blue because the line “to see the BLUE” stuck with her and she wanted the song to have a memorable and defining word.
>Personally, Minjeong also likes the color blue, and she felt the atmosphere of the song matched really well with it, so that’s how it came to be titled blue. Originally, BLUE had very hopeful lyrics but minjeong wanted to [genuinely] express her feelings through the song since it’s a solo song, [And she’s not the type to gained strength from or say this type of “cheer up! / Fighting, You can do it!” hopeful words]. So, she revised the lyrics to something that would be comforting to her. she hopes that when we listen to the song, we can find a little bit of comfort in our lives.
