(G)I-DLE shows us the best way to enjoy the scorching summer with their seventh mini album I SWAY. Honk, honk! Let’s dance to the rhythm of the horn (“Klaxon”) and enjoy the freedom by surrendering yourself to the summery, beachy music. Here are some summer-tastic songs recommended by (G)I-DLE.
(G)I-DLE - “Klaxon”
MIYEON: Overcome the scorching heat this summer by dancing the Shin-chan dance to “Klaxon” with (G)I-DLE! The candid lyrics that confess our love, that goes “I love you baby, hey look at me” are so cute and charming.
MINNIE: I thought SOYEON did a great job as soon as I heard it. I love the song because the melody is amazing and easy to sing along. I hope this becomes (G)I-DLE’s best summer song!
SOYEON: “Klaxon” is about the fun, passionate summer. It’ll be great when you listen to it while you drive along the beach.
YUQI: The song sings for itself. It’s a feel-good song that’s perfect for the summer. Have a cool summer with “Klaxon”!
SHUHUA: The melody is so good, and the lyrics are so fun, too. I highly recommend it because it goes perfect with summer.
(G)I-DLE - “Last Forever”
MIYEON: The fun rhythm and melody with the lyrics that sing about spending forever together tugs at your heartstrings. It goes well with the hot summer too, so it’s one of my favorite tracks off this album.
MINNIE: Yuqi put her heart into this song. You feel calm when you listen to it, and you get moved by the lyrics.
SOYEON: I can describe this song in one sentence: A song that’s impossible to skip off the seventh mini album I SWAY.
YUQI: The song embodies my sensibilities because it’s my composition. I hope you listen to it because it really is a good song!
SHUHUA: Songs that Yuqi wrote are always amazing. “Last Forever” is another fun, touching song that really captures who Yuqi is.
(G)I-DLE - “Bloom”
MIYEON: The lyrics are about how “I’ve bloomed after meeting you” - it’s very pretty and lovely. I think I’ll feel happy, like I’m dreaming if I listen to this song while I sit somewhere breezy.
MINNIE: You’ll think “MINNIE's done it again!” I thought of what it feels like in the spring and summer while I composed the song. It’ll make you feel butterflies in your stomach, in a good, happy way. I hope a lot of people listen to it and relate to it.
SOYEON: MINNIE’s signature soft and sweet nature is expressed with (G)I-DLE's fresh, unique vocals. It’s a great song to listen to at any time.
YUQI: This is one of MINNIE’s creations. It's a fun, addictive song that makes your heart flutter. You can listen to it every day.
SHUHUA: MINNIE captured the feeling of your heart fluttering with this song. It reminds you of spring and summer, so I think it’s great for when you’re feeling sentimental.
(G)I-DLE - “Neverland”
MIYEON: This is a song for our NEVERLAND ((G)I-DLE’s fandom). It’s about how we found a home in Neverland after searching for a long while and hoping to continue this journey for a long time with our fans.
MINNIE: It’s been a while since I've worked with YUQI and MIYEON on a song since MY, and I’m very happy with what we’ve created. I thought of our NEVERLAND when I recorded it - I really hope they like it because it’s our first fan song since “i’M THE TREND.”
SOYEON: This is a song that is made with our love for our NEVERLAND. I hope that our Neververs (pet name for NEVERLAND) like it.
YUQI: This is (G)I-DLE's fan song for NEVERLAND. We wrote the lyrics thinking of our Neververs, so I hope you like it!
SHUHUA: We recorded this song for our NEVERLAND. It’s something for you to listen to when you want to see (G)I-DLE but can’t. We’ll always be by your side.

MIYEON: This song is great to listen to before you go to bed because the lovely lyrics and soft melody makes you feel very calm.
