Trivia[]

  • To celebrate its release, Orbits trended “#LOONA_BUTTERFLY” to #1 Worldwide on Twitter.
  • This music video has been filmed in many countries.
  • Korean fans sometimes shorten “버터플라이” (beoteopeulai) to “버플” (beo-peul).
  • [ENG SUB] MonoTree’s discussion about “Butterfly” (YouTube):

MonoTree’s discussion about “Butterfly“[]

  • Hi High and Butterfly – topics + connection:

Hwang Hyun: “These two songs [“Hi High” and “Butterfly”] are completely different in style. […] But strangely, it feels like they’re connected.”

G-High: “It does! I was talking about this with Jaden Jeong. ‘Stories about soaring.’ Maybe that’s the topic that the two have in common.”

  • At the end of the “Hi High” MV, HeeJin flies into the air without wings. This scene left a big impact on Hwang Hyun (“Hi High”’s producer). To him, it felt like the members were still like caterpillars in “Hi High”.

“For Butterfly, on stage or in the performance too, they don’t have wings, but it feels like they do, in a way. It’s more sophisticated? Butterfly?”

Hwang Hyun

  • Composer G-High’s process:
    • G-High thought about the concept/image of the song before the lyrics.
    • When he wrote the lyrics, G-High started with the chorus lyrics first.

  • “For the English lyrics, I just make lyrics with fake English. Lyrics of just English-sounding gibberish. When I’m writing the lyrics for the first demo, I don’t look at anything else. I just have the nuances. I start the lyrics in English, only really focusing on the nuances of pronunciation and rhythm. But the rest, like meaning or grammar, I don’t care at all. […] But I’ve heard that my English lyrics are the most ridiculous.”
  • “[…] And in the chorus, just a single thing. It has to fit with the song, ‘Fly like a butterfly’. Those are lyrics straight from the demo. Later, after that, Jaden Jeong says, ‘let’s write lyrics with this concept’; or something, giving me the ideas. So I write based on the ideas he gives.”

G-High
