FIFTY FIFTY Talk “Cupid” and Choreography

South Korean girl group, FIFTY FIFTY have been garnering the interest of many since their debut in 2022 with “Higher”. The Beginning: Cupid is a single album and their first return to the music scene since debut. The song “Cupid” includes both a Korean version, an English version (Twin version) and an instrumental.

While many may believe the song would be the same in both Korean and English, it’s not. Helix Publicity say, “the ‘Twin version’ (English version) of ‘Cupid‘ has a different style of mixing and adjusted vocal arrangement than the Korean version of the track”. This single album also includes an instrumental version.

It has been revealed that,

The members of FIFTY FIFTY participated in the production process of this single album, with Keena writing the verse and Saena participating in the creation of the highlight choreography of the song. Adam von Mentzer, who produced “Lovin’ Me” from FIFTY FIFTY’s debut album, participated in the creation of the single album alongside other veteran producers and came together to maintain the group’s distinct color while expanding their spectrum of music.

On March 8th, 2023 (KST), HypnoticAsia joined a media day to talk with the 4-members of FIFTY FIFTY. Check out what members Saena, Keena, Sio, and Aran have to say about their comeback below.

Was recording the Twin version of “Cupid” challenging for you?

Aran: We want to share our thoughts and music to our fans from around the world so this is one way to do it. It was hard because English isn’t the first language but I think we did well.

SIO: I think recording the Korean version was pretty smooth, but English version was definitely challenging for me. While recording English version, I had to focus on both English accents and delivery of the meaning of the song. Finding the right balance between the two was a bit difficult for me.

How was it working with Minny Park from 1MILLION on ‘Higher’ choreography?

SAENA: I’ve been following Minny Park and her work for a while, and it was a great honor to work with someone I look up to. She was very open about our ideas and we all worked together to create a perfect performance. It was so much fun and honorable!
