She likes to live in the now, which is why she is focused on the present.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI try to concentrate on the current situation and the now of myself,\u201d she explains. That\u2019s why I try to go step by step, which makes me less stressed. And because it\u2019s my first time juggling this kind of schedule with everything together, I\u2019m finding my own way now. I\u2019m doing quite well these days.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Like her positive and charismatic nature, Ice Cream\u2019s genre falls on the \u201csparkling pop spectrum\u201d which showcases an \u201corganic diverse pop sound \u2013 bubblegum pop, dance, hip-hop, breakbeat, R&amp;B, soft funk, synth pop, and disco \u2013 through crisp beat-driven design, refined synth colors, and performance-oriented structure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She really just wanted to hear songs she likes \u2013 and she likes bubbly pop songs. It\u2019s the type of music you can walk down the street to, feeling like you can dance and brighten your mood. She really didn\u2019t have an inspiration behind the music; she just likes the genre \u2013 it\u2019s her \u201cnatural music taste.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"YUNA's Ice Cream\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"959\" height=\"720\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/Xrg1bdYv4D5P4FAl2BToaw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTcyMTtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/forbes_contributor_845\/b1ac91add3db198ad45d8427a4de5f8a\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\">\n<p>YUNA&#8217;s Ice Cream<\/p>\n<p><small>JYP Entertainment<\/small><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI\u2019m doing every pretty thing I can since the title is called <em>Ice Cream<\/em>, it\u2019s nice that I can work with colorful, refreshing, and bubbly vibes,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The concept and the music video show different versions of Yuna \u2013 Marine Girl, Gardener, Electrician, and Alpha.

It\u2019s tough. Sometimes elegant. Sometimes innocent. I can\u2019t really point to one. It\u2019s all me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">With four songs on the solo album, she loves them all because they are the type of music she would listen to. But, if she had to pick her favorite, she smiles shyly, \u201cBlue Maze.\u201d The B-side track is a soft, dreamy lounge groove that is elegant and smooth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI wanted to have a dreamy sound to my solo album, which is quite a bit different than ITZY\u2019s albums,\u201d she shares.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She does love her title track, \u201cIce Cream,\u201d because it is bubblegum pop, which she loves. She also loves the lyrics because they represent her mindset: \u201cC\u2019mon before it\u2019s too late \/ This moment\u2019s passing by \/ blink of an eye.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt means I don\u2019t care about anything like surroundings, but just to hold it tight now,\u201d she says. \u201cSo it\u2019s about not letting everything go.
