“Rosy (feat. HeeJin)” (Hangul: 로지) is the second track from single album Olivia Hye by Olivia Hye of LOONA. It was released on March 30, 2018 as the twelfth and final part of the “Girl of the Month” project.
The song is a duet between Olivia Hye and Go Won, featuring rapping by HeeJin.
Go Won and Olivia Hye’s duet “Rosy” captures the pretty but edgy unpredictable emotions of modern girls who are nice but chic, kind but naughty, or interested but not enough to go out with someone.[1]
고원과 Olivia Hye가 함께한 커플링 곡 ‘Rosy’는 두 소녀의 상냥하지만 시크한, 친절하지만 불친절한, 혹은 마음에 들지만 사귀기는 귀찮은 요즘 시대의 어디로 튈지 모르는 난파된 나침반 같은 심리를 담아 예쁘지만 가시 돋힌 감정을 노래했다.
This is the song that got me involved with the LOONA girls, and it’s a very special song for me. And in my mind Hye-Joo really seems to resemble a rose petal. So maybe for that reason, I think she really fit well with “Rosy” and its odd and dreamy atmosphere.
When I came to the lyrics were completed, and the reactions were more explosive than I thought ㅇㅅㅇ;;; The label was also very favorable towards it, and so as I said earlier, this song was what helped me to keep working with the LOONA girls. And according to composer oppa, he said this song significantly influenced the construction of LOONA’s lore.
I don’t know if he told me that just so I could feel good (ㅋㅋㅋㅋ) But it does feel like I got to play a part in the lore //ㅅ//embarrassed
The overall story is that I compared a woman to a “flower”, and people get drunk on her beauty and try possess her and pluck her. Isn’t it a little sad when you hear it that way? It’s the story of a rose that’s lonely because it’s beautiful.
When Go Won and Olivia Hye recorded “Rosy”, Go Won thought it was meant to be included in her solo single.
Go Won and Olivia Hye didn’t know each other that well at the time of the recording. They heard “Rosy” for the first time on the way to the recording. They recorded for nine hours the first day. They were asked to sing with a sad feeling. But the next day the producers decided to start over entirely, with a brighter style this time.
They’ve read the lyricist’s breakdown of the song and liked it. They think it would be helpful for when they perform the song in the future.[2]
