HYUNGWON X SHOWNU ‘Love Me A Little’ Lyric Breakdown
The release of their album was accompanied by a music video for the mini-album’s lead single, “Love Me a Little.”
“Charmed by that unfamiliar scent, you just won’t come to me,” the pair takes turn singing. “Locked in your room, I get more excited today. Love me a little, love me a little bit. Your scent blows into my love you. Love me a little, love me a little bit.”
HYUNGWON participated in the lyrics for “Love Me A Little,” as well as composition and arrangement of the track, while SHOWNU worked with the FreeMind dance team on performance and choreography.
“It was really hard,” SHOWNU said on preparing the choreo. “There wasn’t a lot of time to practice, because there were a lot of revisions to the choreography this time. We had less time to prepare. Working with the FreeMind crew was great, because we’re already very close. Confirming the final choreography took a while.”
