Music Monday|Chung Ha —Roller Coaster

AYYYY BAYOG FAM! I’m trying to sound energetic, but I’m dead inside right now…lol We finally reopened, so I’m working again. It’s been a crazy and exhausting week. I’m totally beat. However, I didn’t want to skip out on a Music Monday post for y’all. So we’re gonna continue our summer themed Music Monday posts. I originally planned on doing 2, but I’m dead tired y’all. Might still post a second one later after I naps a bit. Just forgive me for actually keeping this post short cuz I’m really out of it y’all. Anyways, today’s fun summer-esque bop is Chung Ha’s “Roller Coaster”~

Kim Chungha was born Kim Chanmi. Obviously her stage name is Chungha, and it’s usually stylized as Chung Ha. Again, I’m part of the old school K-Pop group. So I wasn’t super familiar with Chungha. I just knew that she was on Mnet’s girl group survival show Produce 101, and became a member of I.O.I. I’m not big on survival competition shows, so that’s all I can really say about those two. I just know the show and the group were pretty popular. Despite not knowing Chungha, the show, or I.O.I, I do recall her being really popular and well-loved by everyone. Anyways, I.O.I disbanded in 2017 and Chung Ha debuted as a solo artist. I never really listened to her songs. But I know everyone would always mention her online. I heard everyone loves her because she’s a sweetheart and super down to earth. Which I agree with since I’ve now seen some clips and interviews of her. She seems like a really sweet and cute girl.

“Roller Coaster” was probably the first Chung Ha song I heard, and I really liked it. I think I stumbled upon it from a random play dance cover video. I just found it really catchy. The track itself is an upbeat dance track that has a bit of a retro vibe to it, especially during the chorus. The lyrics itself is about one’s feelings and relating it and a relationship to a roller coaster. It’s in the sense that love gets your emotions going up and down, and there’s a thrill in love too. This track technically isn’t really a summer jam. Offset, the EP it was on, was actually released in January 2018. I believe it was the second single she promoted from the EP too. Still, I feel like this song is a perfect fit for some kind of summer romance story.

You can find “Roller Coaster” off of Chung Ha’s Offset on Spotify:

ROLLER COASTER

The MV itself is very like neon and retro-90’s kind of themed. I admit I didn’t totally love it, but that’s mostly due to me not being a big fan of neon everywhere. However, it was still pretty fun and cute. Chungha is also hella pretty. I think my favorite parts, other than the choreo bits, is Chungha singing against a wall while she has the stars and other scenes projected on her. I didn’t hate the MV, but it’s just wasn’t totally for me is all. It’s still a pretty good MV.

I keep getting this dizzy feeling, this dangerous feeling
Tightly grab my hand i want you
Don’t sway, it’s getting hotter
Hug me tightly

You a roller coaster ooh ahh
Roller coaster uh woh ahh

I need your love ooh ahh
Baby your love uh woh ahh

Chung Ha|Roller Coaster|Translation: [Genius]

Anyway, that’s all from me today. Wow, I actually kept it short for once. Again, I’m sorry not have enough energy for today. My bad y’all. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the song. Are you a fan of Chung Ha? Give me some recommendations~ I’m off to PTFO. Take care, stay safe, and have a wonderful day fam!~

BE SAFE. BE RESPONSIBLE.
WASH YOUR HANDS. WEAR A MASK.
SOCIAL DISTANCE. PLEASE.

Take care y’all. Please stay safe and take care of yourself. All jokes and fun aside…please, please, please, pleaaaase always wash your hands, practice social distancing, and wear a mask! I’m serious. Please take COVID-19 seriously. It truly is a matter of life and death. It’s something that needs to be taken seriously. It’s not just about the death of if you or someone you know gets it, but it also heavily affects those left behind. There are also aftereffects for those who are able to get through COVID-19. Be responsible. Be safe. Take care y’all. Have a wonderful day.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

AS A GROUP OF BIPOC, BAYOG strongly stands with Black Lives Matter. We’ve individually done several donations. Of course, donations to support the cause and support change isn’t the only thing needed. Support for the cause and change also requires conversation. Make sure to have those conversations. Aside from donating, I had several conversations with my family. I explained things to my parents, especially since some news stories were being reported inaccurately. I was afraid it’d be a bit difficult. However, as fellow BIPOC and human beings, it was a necessary conversation. My parents and grandma understand, and now stand on the same page regarding BLM as well. Please remember to be an active supporter, be it through donations, sharing information, and/or conversations and speaking up.

If you can, please consider donating. I’ve donated more than once as well. For one of my donations, I donated through the BTS ARMY x BLM project. I recommend that if you’re unsure of where to donate. This is because the donation will be split amongst several different non-profit organizations. Of course, you can also choose a specific organization(s) if you wish as well. You can find that [HERE].

Stay strong. Fight racism, brutality, injustice, and bullshit. Don’t lose sight of the goal. We’re witnessing and being a part of history. Be allies and make sure change happens. Once again, BLACK LIVES MATTER.
