Artist and producer Zico (ZICO) is drawing attention by releasing content that lets fans enjoy the lyrics of his new song.
Zico posted the lyric video for his new single 'DUET' on his official social media at 10 p.m. on the 22nd. It contains behind-the-scenes footage of the music video featuring the Japanese singer Lilas (Lilas, Ikura of Yoasobi), who collaborated on the new song. The video was filmed in Japan, giving it an exotic atmosphere.
The lyrics that capture the meeting of Zico and Lilas stand out. "Tokyo to Seoul 時空を超えて" (Tokyo to Seoul transcending time and space), "二人で重ねる melody" (a melody the two build together), and Korean lyrics such as "completely opposite timbres, separate playful visuals" and "mixing the paint as you swirl swirl play, let's duet" harmonize beautifully. The two each wrote their own parts, revealing their individual musical colors.
The behind-the-scenes footage of the music video is also worth seeing. The free-spirited moments of Zico, Lilas and various dancers suggest the cheerful atmosphere on set.
'DUET' is a song that started from the imagination of "what if you duet with an ideal partner?" The meeting of Zico and Lilas, who represent Korean hip-hop and Japanese band music respectively, alone generated major buzz. The production team that worked with Zico last year on "SPOT! (feat. JENNIE)" participated in composing and writing the song, raising its completeness.
'DUET' reached number one on the Korean YouTube chart 'Trending Music' at 5 p.m. on the 21st and remained there as of 7 a.m. on the 23rd. It also ranked sixth on Korea Spotify's 'Daily Top Songs' for the 21st and 23rd on Korea Apple Music's 'Top 100 Today', placing it among the upper ranks of the charts. As of 7 a.m. on the 23rd, it had entered iTunes 'Top Songs' in eight countries/regions including Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia. The music video ranked first on Korea YouTube's 'Daily Popular Music Video' for the 20th.
