Moonbyul of Mamamoo talked about her solo single “Cheese In The Trap” that comes out Thursday.
It has only been three months since her third solo EP “6equence” but she felt one week of promoting the main track “Lunatic” was too short.
“This time, I am planning to meet fans for longer period and hopefully we can have more fun together so that there will not lingering feelings afterward,” said the musician.
The titular track is all about heading straight on so as to win over someone you love, in a cute yet feisty way.
“It will not be easy to be so bold in real life, though,” she concedes, “but I wish those who cannot easily gather up the courage like me would feel a small satisfaction from this song.”
The song is a dance tune that incorporates punk rock sounds, something she has never tried. But she fell in love with the song the minute she listened to it.
“It would be great if listeners thought ‘Wow, Moonbyul can pull off songs like this,’” she said.
