Check out the music video of her lead single ‘POP!’ here.
This is NaYeon’s first solo venture since her TWICE debut in October 2015, and she is the first member of TWICE to release a solo EP. The title, “IM NAYEON”, cleverly means both “I’m NaYeon” and “Im NaYeon,” her full name, to highlight her reintroduction as a solo artist. A performance of the lead single ‘POP!’ aired last Friday on MTV Fresh Out Live and this marked Nayeon’s solo U.S. broadcast debut. The exhilarating and addictive track captures NaYeon’s undeniable charm and her unique, fresh energy. For this track, NaYeon collaborated with KENZIE, London Noise, and Lee SeuRan.
— MTV Fresh Out (@mtvfreshout) June 23, 2022 Through this EP, NaYeon – in conjunction with prominent hit makers such as Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall, The Stereotypes, Sim EunJee, earattack, and Shift K3Y – uses the skills she’s honed over the last seven years with TWICE to create her own sound. “IM NAYEON” also features Felix of Stray Kids and Wonstein, which marks the first time TWICE and its members have featured other artists on an album. Further, the EP features two tracks written by NaYeon, which further exemplifies her musicality: ‘ALL OR NOTHING’ and ‘LOVE COUNTDOWN’ (feat. Wonstein). In addition to ‘POP!,’ the seven-track mini album includes ‘NO PROBLEM’ (feat. Felix of Stray Kids), a powerful and refreshing love song; ‘LOVE COUNTDOWN’ (feat. Wonstein), which explores the moment just before you confess your feelings for someone through a bossa nova-inspired rhythm; ‘CANDYFLOSS’, a sweet pop song comparing lips to cotton candy and fluttery emotions to early summer; ‘ALL OR NOTHING’, which expresses NaYeon’s complicated feelings and worries as a young adult; ‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU’, an R&B track with a soulful, Lo-Fi rhythm and bright, celebratory vocals; and ‘THE SUNSET IS PRETTY’, a dreamy song about bitter love that is as beautiful as the sunset, but quickly disappears. This solo release comes on the heels of what has already been a momentous 2022 for Nayeon with TWICE. Last month, TWICE made their in-studio U.S. broadcast debut on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”; the group performed their Billboard Hot 100 hit, ‘The Feels’. They also performed back-to-back, sold-out performances at Los Angeles’ Banc of California Stadium – encore performances of their sold-out arena tour, “4TH WORLD TOUR Ⅲ”. These performances were a major milestone for the group, as they made TWICE the first female K-Pop group to play a North American stadium. “IM NAYEON” is out now via all digital and streaming platforms.
