SONG OF THE DAY: HAPPY-NE1

Have you ever listened to a happy song but on contrary feel sad? Although this song has a happy vibe--even the title told us so but it’s actually a really sad song.
I
always and will always love the contradictive things in YG Entertainment’s songs (where 2NE1 is one of the label's artists). I Love You
told us about loving someone who doesn’t care about us at all and ended up hating
him—but still love him so much. Sometimes the person you love the most is the
person you hate the most—I think it’s cool to have this kind of story in a
song. Lonely told us about being lonely even though having someone beside us.
And here’s the latest contradictive 2NE1 presented to the listeners: without you, I’m not happy but I hope you’re
happy. Although the upbeat melody sounds fun and bright, the story is on the other
side. The song even performed in cute choreography, a catchy beat, and a cool drum
sound but actually is about broken-hearted girls.
Not the typical breakup song (which often associated with a ballad, mellow, piano, and crying scene), that's why this song is different. CL’s rap oh my, I love her rhythmical rap in this song. Dara’s fresh vocal just gets sweeter every time I hear it. Bom led the song very well as the main vocalist. Minzy’s powerful voice is just the perfect partner for Bom's unique vocal.

I
love how 2NE1 represents strong women all around the world. When the one you
love wants to leave you, you pretend to be happy and wish for his happiness.
You even apologizing for didn’t notice that you became a burden for him. At the
end of the day, you still think that his happiness is very important for you. I love how strong the woman inside that
story. “If at least you’re happy, it’s a happy ending. I’m not being sarcastic,
I hope you know I mean it”. A breakup couldn’t be better than this. Look at how
cool, fierce, and independent 2NE1 described their attitude toward breakups. It shows
the world that a boy can’t truly hurt a girl anyway. The girl even prays for that boy’s happiness. Cool, right?
"Without you, I'm not happy but I hope you're happy. I'll watch over you from far away. Without you, I'm not happy but I hope you're happy. I'll push back all of the memories. Be happy and forget me. I hope you're H A P P Y" (Happy-2NE1)
