The initial scene can be compared to a birth, plus Hwasa has the same dress used in Maria, connecting the two mvs and themes as Maria was like a rebirth to her and the water (another recurring theme) represents life. Basically this mv is an alternative end for Maria mv, here Hwasa embraces her bad side, "If I don't became a bit*h I can't survive" is what Hwasa thought while working on new music and it's the concept of the title track. When she opens the door the scene is like watching inside that box she came out but as you can see everything is black outside instead inside the box is bright because Hwasa bacame the light who swallowed the darkness. As we will see later there are 2 Hwasa, one watching inside the box and one actually inside of it “there’s no light without shadow” as Hwasa said. The whole mv and lyrics are playing with dark and bright, white and black, you can clearly see it in this part “life is so incredible. Even if I go crazy my sin is beautiful” then “life is now so terrible I can’t cry even if I smile”. Her sin is beautiful because she’s doing what she loves, music, but she feels like she’s sinning because she’s ‘mistreating’ herself and the people she loves. This is her guilty pleasure: pushing herself beyond her limits. We can spot flowers in the whole mv, the pictures in the blue room, she’s wrapped under plastic like a flower in a bouquet and in the room with white furnitures, the only touch of color are the flowers…Hwasa loves flowers and her symbol is a flower. Talking about this room, in Maria mv Hwasa wearing a sort of straitjacket was monitored in a white tiles room, she was cornered by pencils (comments) pointing at her…now she’s free standing bold on those white tiles furnitures, this time she has a pencil in her hand and she’s completing a crossword with ‘Hwasa’ and ‘Crazy’. Basically she’s saying I’m crazy, so what? Again with the lyrics ‘In a word I’m out of my mind so far I’m alive’ like she has to go crazy working on music to really live. In the ending scene there is another recurring theme since Maria, the snake, another symbol of rebirth, transformation. Historically, serpents and snakes represent fertility or a creative life force. Of course that scene is hinting to another mv she will release for another track from Guilty Pleasure album or connect to her next comeback. Hwasa co-wrote and co-composed 2 out of 3 tracks and this is the first time she teams up with non-Korean music producers. With this single album she became the 1st soloist of 2021 to enter on Billboard world digital song sales chart with 2 songs in top10. 'I' a B' topped iTunes in 19 countries and QQ music chart in China.
Thank you for this wise analysis Hwa Sa is like Picasso She draw a music video full of hints and only her faithful moomoo can understand it That is why she is my bias 💛👑
@@komalthapa6090 for sure that scene has a meaning behind it, it's like she can see what she desperately wants but she can't have it...another important point are those broken mirrors, tiles and wooden...like catching the beauty of something broken
As far as I can piece together, she's commenting on how she doesn't conform to socially accepted standards. She gets labeled a "B". And she hates the "predictability" "more than death". When she's being herself, society is saying "she's crazy", "she's a B!t$#". And life is too incredible to listen to that negativity. Stand proud in who you are, no matter the labels.
MooMoo on her nail is everything!! Hwasa yet again with the music break only this time we go way back to the Joseon era... Love it!! This is definitely my Guilty Pleasure!!...
She said in an interview witg jessi that she had such a hard time preparing for the album that she felt like she had to be a B to be able to go through it .
Please react to Water Color by Jung Whee In.. And react to other members solo songs/album.. More Mamamoo reactions please!! You should check their Immortal Songs performances and Mamamoo Guides etc., I'm your gonna love them!!!
The song is really amazing and her voice is everything. By the way loved your reaction Pd. I hope you can reaction to Happy death day from Xdinary Heroes, they're the new band of JYP ent. Personally I really loved that song and the lyrics are just so true, anyways I want to see your reaction, but don't worry if you can't right now, I can't wait 0u0
I think it's the first time I've had a reaction from you. Can you do the rest of the songs on the Hwasa album, as well as EXO's Kai album? I will be very grateful.
if you also react to songs other than kpop, could you react to arcane's enemy? (imagine dragons & GID) I've subbed today because i like your vids on mamamoo :D
Hahaha. I really enjoyed your reaction as always! Yeah, that was our girl. She is JUST AMAZING!!! This song was super cool. Every moment got me goosebumps. Other new songs were awesome too.
I was expecting this reaction. The other two songs on the album are also very good. She has said that I am B is like an apology to those close to her. Here she explains it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rI5cr2DfsX0.html minute 7:12 Hwasa has said that she is already working on her next album. In other news, another MAMAMOO member is about to have her comeback, Moonbyul is back with her third album "6equence" that will be released in January. But the first track (song) is out and it's like a kind of introduction, trailer for the album. The title is 'Synopsis' ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oiSORW4VBkw.html lyrics: Where should I start from I have lots to say I can't seem to organize my thoughts In my memories, I wanted to hug you and leave I want to record it We're in the synopsis This is the synopsis We're in the synopsis This is the synopsis We're in the synopsis ------ There will also be two pre-releases of songs number 2 and 3 of the album, one on December 13 "G999" (collaboration with Mirani) and the other on December 30 (collaboration with Seori).
mv and song interpretation: first off, it is an alternate ending to maria. if you look at the clothing she wears from the box, it’s the same as the one she’s wearing at the end scene of maria. the mv is her choosing to be “evil” rather than seeking comfort from her friends after all the criticism thrown at Maria. she says that you can’t survive in the industry without being a bitch so in the mv, she chooses to embrace the title of bitch because she sees her sins as beautiful. at the same time, she’s pointing out how predictable the media is at criticizing everything. hwasa also said it’s kind of an apology to her friends and family. during her promotions she said that sometimes she finds herself being too focused on her music that she feels she doesn’t give her family the attention they deserve. it kinda goes back to her choosing to be this persona in the media. she tries to fight back by being a bitch but it also takes a certain toll on her which is “tears lie behind her smile” and she asks ppl to “stay with her by her side”.
