Trivia
The original song demo was sung by the composer Emma O'Gorman.
She posted a snippet of the demo on instagram.
Article extract: Stylish' songwriter Emma O'Gorman talks about working on the song
“The LOOΠΔ girls did an awesome job with the song and the vocals. Their team were very easy to work with. They didn’t change much from the original demo, just obviously translated the lyrics. My favOriTe thing is how it’s really interesting to hear the difference between ‘Stylish’s demo and the finished product. My voice is a lot harder so my version is quite sassy, but LOOΠΔ’s is lovely and soft and emotional. It really added a whole new dimension to it. It’s been really fun! We obviously wanted to make it like LOOΠΔ and there was no guarantee they would use it so we tried pretty hard to make something they would like. It’s been such a cool experience. I was a fan of LOOΠΔ before we were asked to do it. I’m so over the moon with it!”
The absence of instrumentals in the first chorus was Emma O'Gorman's idea. "Silence in an instrumental gives punctuation if done properly!"
Looking back on the song, she still wouldn't change anything about it.
"Decorate my buy list with you" and "Keeping my brightness" are her favorite lines in the korean lyrics.
She made the vocal arrangement. It took her about 1h-1h30.
"I record all my arrangements as I'm going instead of scoring them as I find it more natural to use my ear. Vocals is genuinely one of my favourite parts of writing Kpop!! Stylish is one of my favourite arrangements in [a] while! Especially the end section!"
Q: "How many renditions of songs did you go through to create stylish? From the initial idea being created, to it becoming the song we hear now? What muse gave you the idea for it?"
A: "We wrote it in one day! So just the rendition you heard! We write songs all the time in quick turn around so it gets done very quickly these days!
I think Stylish as a concept was something I had come up with earlier in the week and we thought it was a good concept for a song about fancying someone!"
