On the September 18th episode of MBC’s Radio Star, Hwasa opened up about her upcoming mini-album O and her relationship with PSY, the head of her label, P NATION.
During the show, Hwasa was asked if her new song’s rap gave off a PSY vibe. She smiled and said, “It doesn’t,” making it clear that she had her own style. But she admitted there could be some influence from PSY, adding, “I guess there might be some influence in the direction.”
Hwasa also talked about how well she works with PSY, sharing, “What I think inside, oppa says out loud.”
She explained that when it came to picking the title track, she was picky. “I kept rejecting the ones that didn’t feel right, and when I told oppa I wasn’t satisfied, he agreed and brought me another song,” she revealed.
She shared a funny story about the current track, saying PSY texted her that the melody was like “a gift from heaven,” but she still wasn’t sure about it. “The chorus was good, but something was missing,” Hwasa said. The next day, PSY reached out to Ariana Grande’s producer to get a new melody, and that’s how they completed the song.
Hwasa even tried rapping for this song, which she usually doesn’t do as a solo artist. “Oppa wanted me to rap like a real rapper, so I gave it my all,” she shared proudly.
It seems like Hwasa is excited to show a new side of herself with this release!
