If you ever wanted to know who is on your favorite singer’s playlist, or what albums inspired the latest \u201cit girl\u201d the most, tune in for <\/em>Marie Claire\u2019s resident music franchise <\/em>Listen Up<\/u><\/a>. In this interview series, we ask musicians about their listening habits and the specific records that informed their taste\u2014and inherently their journey as an artist.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hearts2Hearts<\/u><\/a> may be K-pop<\/u><\/a> rookies, but they\u2019re eager to dominate your \u201csong of the summer\u201d debates. That may sound like a lofty goal for a girl group<\/u><\/a> that just debuted 16 months ago, but they\u2019ve already climbed up the charts, landing on the <\/u>Billboard<\/em><\/u> Global 200<\/u><\/a> with their infectious, bratty bop \u201cRUDE!<\/u><\/a>\u201d two weeks after their first anniversary. Now, they\u2019re back with their second mini-album, Lemon Tang<\/em><\/u><\/a>, which is filled top to bottom with feel-good summer-soundtrack contenders.<\/p>\n

\u201cSummer Queen<\/u><\/a>\u201d is an ambitious title to vie for, especially in K-pop. Members Jiwoo<\/a>, Carmen<\/a>, Yuha<\/a>, Stella<\/a>, Juun<\/a>, A-na<\/a>, Ian<\/a>, and Ye-on<\/a> (whose ages range from 16 to 20) grew up on the bubbly, crisp earworms<\/u><\/a> that became inescapable in the warmer months, sung by girl groups like their own SM Entertainment labelmates Red Velvet<\/u><\/a> and Girls\u2019 Generation<\/u><\/a>. In recent years, idol music has trended toward a more industrial, bass-heavy sound, leaving behind the electro- and bubblegum-pop of the 2010s. But Heart2Hearts stands out among the young groups leading the charge to bring carefree euphoria back into K-pop.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this hot summer, it\u2019s going to be the best way to refresh yourself through music,\u201d Ye-on says of Lemon Tang<\/em>‘s title track, as the group speaks with Marie Claire<\/em> over Zoom. Stella adds, \u201cThe lyrics have a really cute meaning of how it’s sweeter when everyone’s together\u2026When I first heard the song before we recorded it, I just thought, \u2018Oh, this is the perfect summer song.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
