The moment a single line turns “Imperfect” into “I'm perfect,” your most authentic version of perfection begins. FIFTY FIFTY's fourth mini album, “Imperfect-I’mperfect,” is all about learning to love yourself exactly as you are. Alongside the album, the members introduce the songs that can make even an imperfect day shine a little brighter.
“Like a Bubble” (FIFTY FIFTY)
KEENA: There are times in life when you feel like a complete mess. But I wanted this song to remind people that even those imperfect parts of ourselves are precious and lovable. I hope our voices can bring TWENY a little warmth, comfort, and courage.
CHANELLE MOON: I think this song captures the bright, refreshing energy and sense of freedom we wanted to express better than any other track. It has the kind of exciting, feel-good energy that makes you want to take off for somewhere new. I absolutely love it, and I hope TWENY will have this song on their playlists all summer long!
YEWON: When I first got this song, I kept listening to it in the car. What surprised me was how different it felt depending on where I was. The melody is so catchy and the song has such an exciting energy that I found myself playing it over and over again. I hope this song becomes part of lots of happy memories for our TWENY too.
ATHENA: Just like the title says, listening to it makes you feel bubbly, like your body and mind are gently drifting upward, and before you know it, your whole mood feels lighter too. That's one of the reasons this became my favorite album. I hope TWENY can feel that same sense of happiness and freedom through "Like a Bubble."
“STARSTRUCK” (FIFTY FIFTY)
KEENA: It has this strange but incredibly cool charm, almost like being trapped inside a four-dimensional maze! The heavy beat that suddenly drops in the middle and the balance with the rap section are incredible, so be sure to listen closely! Promise!
CHANELLE MOON: I was the first to record, so I was a little nervous. But I think that energy actually made its way into the song. Because I'd spent so much time preparing, I was really happy to hear all those little details come through in the final recording. "STARSTRUCK" is a song that shines emotionally from beginning to end, so it feels even more special knowing I got to open it.
YEWON: This song means a lot to me because it was one of the first tracks we were able to share with everyone. I also got the chance to make my acting debut through “After School Exorcism Club: Girls' Night,” which was such a meaningful and exciting experience. The atmosphere and emotional arc of the project connected naturally with the music, and I loved how the story's emotional world found its way into the song.
ATHENA: This is one of both Yewon's and my favorite tracks on the album! The song itself is amazing, but what makes it even more special is that it lets us show a side of our performance style that fans haven't seen before. The stage performance is really cool too, so please look forward to it!
“Took It Too Far” (FIFTY FIFTY)
KEENA: This song pulls you in right from the intro. It means a lot to us because you can really hear how our vocals and overall sound have matured. It's a track we genuinely wanted to share with TWENY because we really wanted to pass those emotions on through this song.
CHANELLE MOON: Sometimes I turn up the speakers in my room and dance around by myself. Haha. This is always one of the songs I put on when I do that! And this is a real secret, but... I've even listened to it while jumping on my bed! >_< It's the kind of song that instantly lifts your energy and puts you in a good mood, so I hope TWENY give it a listen too!
YEWON: I was drawn to the atmosphere of this song from the very first listen. I especially love the lyrics because they capture the emotions so beautifully. The more I listen to it, the more I find to love about it, which is why it's always on my playlist. I hope TWENY can feel those emotions too.
ATHENA: The first thing that drew me in was its pop-inspired sound. Whenever I hear it, I imagine going for a drive on a sunny day with the windows open and this song playing in the background. It has this cinematic feeling that makes even an ordinary moment feel special. I hope TWENY give it a listen the next time they're out on the road.
“PERFECT” (FIFTY FIFTY)
KEENA: Our soft, dreamy vocals really bring out the charm of this song. It carries the message that you're already shining and valuable exactly as you are. I hope TWENY can feel that warmth too.
CHANELLE MOON: This song captures that feeling of being with someone you love so much that time seems to stop for a moment. Every time I hear it, it leaves me feeling warm and comforted. I hope it reminds TWENY of lots of warm and happy moments too.
YEWON: This is the perfect song for a laid-back afternoon with a warm cup of tea. There's something so comforting about the atmosphere of the song. If you listen to it while taking a slow walk after a nap, it might feel like you've stepped into a scene from a movie.
ATHENA: This is one of those songs I keep coming back to because it makes me feel calm and relaxed. It's especially nice on a day off when you're wearing headphones, taking in the scenery, or going for a casual walk. I hope TWENY give it a listen whenever there's a chance to slow down and relax.
“Genie Magic” (FIFTY FIFTY)
KEENA: This song is bright, playful, and full of charm, almost like being swept into a sparkling bit of magic. The moment you hear it, your heart starts to flutter and happiness slowly spreads over you. I hope this song leaves TWENY with that same fluttery feeling, like being under a little spell of happy magic.
CHANELLE MOON: Whenever I hear this song, I immediately think of “The Greatest Showman”! It fills me with confidence and makes me feel like I've stepped into a movie and become the main character. It's packed with energy, and the more I listen, the more it makes me feel like I can accomplish anything. I hope TWENY give it a listen whenever they need a boost of confidence!
YEWON: This is one of my favorite songs on the album. ATHENA and I got to sing a bit of it during a livestream recently, and seeing how much TWENY enjoyed it made the song even more memorable for me. I think it's even more fun when you listen with a focus on our vocals and its musical-style energy. It's one of those songs that naturally lifts your mood, which is why I find myself coming back to it all the time. If you haven't heard it yet, I really hope you'll give it a listen.
ATHENA: "Genie Magic" is one of the songs TWENY have shown so much love for! Personally, I think it's one of the best tracks for showing our vocal strengths. Whenever TWENY tell us it's a song where our vocals really shine, just like they do in "Gravity," it makes me feel incredibly grateful and proud. I hope you'll continue to give it lots of love!
“Carry On” (FIFTY FIFTY)
KEENA: This song feels like a quiet kind of comfort, gently wrapping around your heart. Rather than saying much, it feels like someone sitting beside you without a word. Whenever I listen to it, it always leaves me feeling a little more at ease. I hope that on the days when TWENY feel exhausted and don't have the energy to do anything, this song can give you just enough strength to take one more step forward, even if it's only a small one.
CHANELLE MOON: This song always makes me think of the people who mean the most to me. And the first people who come to mind are, of course, our TWENY. It always brings back memories of the moments I'm most grateful for and the people I love. It leaves me feeling warm every time I hear it, and it stays with me long after it's over. I hope it brings back lots of happy memories for TWENY too.
YEWON: I think this song brings the album to a beautiful and emotional close. The more you listen, the more its emotions and lingering afterglow begin to unfold, letting different feelings quietly settle in. If you take your time and really immerse yourself in it, I think you'll experience it on a deeper level.
ATHENA: The first thing I imagined when I heard this song was a concert. I could picture the lights dimming while TWENY held up their phone flashlights and sang every word with us. Just imagining that moment felt overwhelming in the best way. I hope TWENY can connect with all the emotions woven into the lyrics.
“Get Right (feat. Fabolous)” (Jennifer Lopez)
KEENA: This song always puts me in a good mood and makes me feel a little more confident. Turn it up on a drive or whenever you need a change of pace!
“Fine Line” (Harry Styles)
CHANELLE MOON: I listen to this one a lot when I'm out for a walk, and every time it makes me feel like the main character in a movie. My favorite part is near the end, when the instrumentation opens up and becomes really cinematic. It gives me chills every single time.
“Where My Girls At” (I.O.I)
YEWON: It’s one of the songs I’ve been listening to on repeat lately! The synth hook is incredibly addictive, and I.O.I's bright, refreshing vocals sound amazing.
“annie.” (wave to earth)
ATHENA: This is one of the first songs that comes to mind when I want to sit quietly with my thoughts. What I love about it is that it doesn’t try too hard. Instead, it has a way of helping me sort through my feelings naturally. The mood is soft and calming, which makes it especially fitting during seasonal changes or when I'm traveling on my own. I'd recommend it as the kind of song that's perfect to have playing softly in the background when you have a lot on your mind.
KEENA's recommendation: OSUN – “U”
CHANELLE MOON's recommendation: Ariana Grande – “hate that i made you love me"
YEWON's recommendation: WINNER - “AH YEAH”
ATHENA's recommendation: Paul Kim – “Beyond the sunset”
