HWAA

About this song

"Hwaa" was released on January 11, 2021, as the lead single of (G)I-dle's fourth extended play, I Burn. Member Soyeon wrote the song, which came from an idea sparked when member Shuhua once said "winter girl" in conversation. It was the last single the group released as a sextet, before Soojin left in August 2021. The song was well received by critics, and a remix by Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike followed in February 2021.

What it's about

The song is about the feelings after a breakup, with a narrator trapped in a cold winter who wants to burn the cold away and bloom like a flower. Its title plays on the Chinese characters for fire and flower, both pronounced "hwa" in Korean.
