G-Dragon made a long-awaited return to music after a 7-year and 4-month hiatus with his solo single ‘POWER’ on October 31st, thrilling fans worldwide. The artist recently shared his experiences and the challenges he faced while creating the track during an appearance on MBC FM4U’s radio show ‘Kim Eana’s Starry Night’ on November 18th.
The Creative Process Behind ‘POWER’
When discussing the time it took to write the lyrics for ‘POWER’, G-Dragon explained that the process was different from his usual quick turnaround:
“It took quite a while. I usually say I can finish quickly, but this time it didn’t come all at once. The melody came easily and matched the vibe of the song, but because the flow was unique, I had to ensure the lyrics carried meaning and a message, which took longer.”
This insight into his creative process highlights the attention to detail and thoughtfulness G-Dragon put into his music.
Kim Eana Praises G-Dragon’s Lyricism
Lyricist Kim Eana also praised G-Dragon’s exceptional talent, particularly his mastery of rhythm and wordplay:
“From a writer’s perspective, the rhythm and wordplay in your songs are at the highest level. You’ve mastered playing with homophones and creating trends no one else could.”
In response, G-Dragon humorously acknowledged his unique pronunciation, noting that even his Korean speech sometimes sounds like a foreign language:
“My pronunciation isn’t naturally clear, so even when I speak Korean, it can sound like a foreign language. I’ve used that as inspiration, turning Korean phrases into something that could be heard as Japanese or English.”
Challenges During His Comeback
G-Dragon also opened up about the physical challenges he faced during this comeback, especially with choreography. Reflecting on his changes over the years, he admitted:
“There were so many. Mentally, I felt the same, but I used to pick up choreography quickly. This time, I felt like I couldn’t keep up, wondering, ‘Why isn’t my body cooperating?’ It made me realize I need to stay physically active.”
Despite these hurdles, G-Dragon’s honesty and self-awareness have resonated deeply with his fans, further strengthening their admiration for his resilience and artistry.
