A Song Just For You

“LA LA POP!” whisks listeners away to a distant land with its fantastical music video. The music video is immediately bright, with eye-catching primary colors on display. To set the scene, Ha Sungwoon stands dressed in a lab coat in the middle of a busy research lab. Around him, as people are bustling at work, Ha Sungwoon is lively and carefree. The retro beat is funky and builds up to a playful chorus where the soloist takes center stage with his star vocals. 

The song is sure to incite a happy mood in listeners. In a cute dance fitting to the song, Ha Sungwoon places a kiss on the back of his hand with a cheeky look toward the camera. The chorus continues this sweet sentiment, filled with warm “la la la la” “pop pop pop pop” vocalizations to further add to the song’s lighthearted vibe.
