The girl group you trust and listen to, 'GFriend', is making a comeback with their 4th mini-album [THE AWAKENING].
After successfully completing the school trilogy and the regular 1st album, this time starting the 2nd act of GFRIEND, it is expected to capture the public's heart once again with a more mature and new look.
In particular, the previous work, the title song of the first full album, 'You and I', a perfect all-kill on the music charts, 'Running through time' and 15 crowns on music broadcasts, 14 crowns in 'You and I', and the first girl group to achieve 100 million streams, 'From Today We Are Attention is focused on GFriend's new move in 2017, which has proven to be a national girl group in name and reality by holding various records such as '.
The title of the fourth mini-album, 'THE AWAKENING', means 'awareness' and 'awakening', and contains the connotation of 'awakening in love'.

1. Hear The Wind Sing
Composed & Lyrics & Arranged by Megatone, Ferdy / Drum Programming Ferdy / Bass Byungseok Kim / Keyboard Ferdy / Piano Byungseok Kim / Violin Sangwon Sim / Background Vocals by Jaehee Jeon / Recorded by Jungshin Kwak, Moyeon Jeong @VIBE Studio / Mixed by Mr. Jo @CUBE Studio
'Song of the Wind' is a song that combines deep house-based rhythm with sensuous violin performance and GFRIEND's unique lyrical melody. It compares the sound of the wind blowing to 'the song of the wind' and sings about the excitement of riding the wind and hoping to get closer and touch the other person. It would be nice to imagine GFriend as if she has become a fairy of the wind, with beautiful lyrics such as 'Listen to the song of the wind and linger around my ears' and rhythmic melodies that embody the dance of the wind.
2. FINGERTIP
Composed & Lyrics & Arranged by Iggy, Yongbae / Drum Programming Seo Yongbae / Bass Kim Yeil / Guitar Ryu Hyunwoo / Keyboard & Synthesizer Iggy / Background Vocals by Kim Sori / Recorded by Iggy, Yongbae @OREO Studio Kwak Jungshin, Jeong Moyeon @Vibe Studio / Mixed by Mr. Jo (Assi Jeon Jeon) @CUBE Studio
The title song of GFRIEND's 4th mini-album, 'FINGERTIP', is a song by GFRIEND's producers Iggy and Yongbae. It is a dance song that adds GFRIEND style rock sound to the funky disco genre. The vocoder from the intro and the brass sound that makes the shoulders shake are impressive.
'Awareness', 'awakening', 'lucid dream', 'lucid dream'!
The music video for 'FINGERTIP' was once again directed by Hong Won-ki, director of Johnny Bros, a famous K-pop music video company who worked with his girlfriend on the school trilogy. Conceived from the album's name, THE AWAKENING, this music video with a lucid dream as a motif was completed as a sensuous work that goes beyond the 'School Trilogy' with a wonderful direction only this time for GFRIEND.
3. Contrail
Composed by Brian Choi, 220, Erik Lidbom / Lyrics by Mafly, Keyfly / Arranged by Brian Choi, 220 / Piano Brian Choi / Background Vocals by Sori Kim / Original Publisher ICONIC SOUNDS, HITFIRE PRODUCTION AB / Sub Publisher : NICHION, SonyATV, MUSICCUBE / Recorded by Kwak Jung-sin, Jeong Mo-yeon @VIBE Studio / Mixed by Ethan Bradon @Iconic Studio
Continental cloud is a song that stands out with the ragtime piano riff and rhythmic breathing of the vocals. In particular, the melody throughout the song seems to express the footsteps of chasing the opponent, so it's an interesting song to listen to while imagining.
4. Please Save My Earth
Composed & Lyrics & Arranged by Mio / Drum Programming Mio / Guitar Jaepil Jeong / Background Vocals by Sori Kim / Recorded by Jungshin Kwak, Moyeon Jeong @VIBE Studio / Mixed by Jungshin Kwak @Vibe Studio
The emotional piano melody harmonizes with the splendid brass and string instruments, and the lyrical melody that penetrates the rich sound and the members' faint voices are impressive. It is a work of singer-songwriter group 'Mio', and it compares the fateful love that met against each other's world while living in a different world to 'earth' and 'moonlight' that always shines on the earth. The fantasy lyrics expressed by the sun are impressive.
5. Rain In The Spring Time
Composed by Erik Lidbom, Sophia Pae, 220 / Lyrics by Mafly, Keyfly / Arranged by Erik Lidbom / Background Vocals by Kim So-ri / Original Publisher : ICONIC SOUNDS, HITFIRE PRODUCTION AB / Sub Publisher : NICHION, SonyATV, MUSICCUBE / Recorded by Kwak Jung-sin, Jeong-mo Yeon @VIBE Studio / Mixed by Kelvin Hobbs @Iconic Studio
This song is an attractive song with a light yet simple piano riff and beautiful melody expressed in the feeling of spring rain. Especially in the chorus, the string and rhythm change that creates a dramatic feeling unique to GFRIEND maximizes the atmosphere of the song. It is also a song that can remind you of memories of 'you' that feel like soft spring rain.
6. Ping (Crush)
Composed & Lyrics & Arranged by e.one / Guitar Jaepil Jeong / Keyborad Hohyeon Jeong / Background Vocals by Keumjo / Recorded by Jungshin Kwak, Moyeon Jeong @VIBE Studio / Mixed by Mr. Jo @CUBE Studio
Based on New Jack Swing, this song stands out with GFRIEND's powerful identity. The harmony of the rhythmic melody, string sections, and upgraded vocal line expressed the feeling of the song well. It contains lyrics that compare the nostalgia of first love, unrequited love, to the tender sensibility of girls with tears in their eyes.

여자친구 The 4th Mini Album[THE AWAKENING]
여자친구, 네 번째 미니앨범 [THE AWAKENING] 으로 컴백!
심장을 저격할 강력한 타이틀 곡 ‘핑거팁’ 5연타 흥행 예고!
여자친구, 제 2막 시작! ‘성장’, ‘변신’ 다채로운 매력 선사
믿고 듣는 걸그룹 ‘여자친구’가 네 번째 미니앨범 [THE AWAKENING]으로 컴백한다.
학교 3부작과 정규 1집 활동을 성공적으로 마치고 이번에는 여자친구의 제 2막을 시작, 더욱 성장하고 새로워진 모습으로 또 한 번 대중들의 마음을 사로잡을 전망이다.
특히 전작, 첫 정규앨범 타이틀곡 ‘너 그리고 나’ 음원차트 퍼펙트 올킬, 음악방송 ‘시간을 달려서’ 15관왕, ‘너 그리고 나’ 14관왕, 걸그룹 최초 1억 스트리밍을 달성한 ‘오늘부터 우리는’ 등 다양한 기록을 보유하며 명실상부 국민 걸그룹임을 입증한 여자친구의 2017년 새로운 행보에 이목이 집중되고 있다.
네 번째 미니앨범의 타이틀 ‘THE AWAKENING’은 ‘자각’, ‘각성’이라는 뜻으로 ‘사랑에 눈뜨다’ 라는 함축적인 의미를 담고 있다. 이제 갓 사랑에 눈을 뜬 소녀들, 여자친구의 당찬 사랑방식을 표현하며 전작까지 ‘소녀들의 성장’ 이라는 틀 안에서 여자친구의 정체성을 이야기 했다면 지금부터는 ‘성장한 소녀들의 사랑이야기’를 들려드리고자 한다. 여자친구의 정체성과 캐릭터를 더욱 확실하게 해 줄 타이틀 곡 ‘FINGERTIP’을 비롯 한층 더 성장한 모습의 여자친구를 만날 수 있는 다채로운 수록곡들 역시 음악팬들의 귀를 즐겁게 해 줄 것이다.

1. 바람의 노래 (Hear The Wind Sing)
Composed & Lyrics & Arranged by Megatone, Ferdy / Drum Programing Ferdy / Bass 김병석 / Keyboard Ferdy / Piano 김병석 / Violin 심상원 / Background Vocals by 전재희 / Recorded by 곽정신, 정모연 @VIBE Studio / Mixed by 조씨아저씨 @CUBE Studio
‘바람의 노래’는 deep house 기반의 리듬과 감각적인 바이올린 연주, 여자친구 특유의 서정적인 멜로디가 잘 어우러진 곡이다. 바람이 부는 소리를 ‘바람의 노래’에 비유하여 바람을 타고 상대방과 점점 가까워지고 닿길 바라는 설렘에 대해 노래하는 곡이다. ‘바람의 노랠 들어 귓가에 맴돌아’ 등 예쁜 노랫말과 바람의 춤을 형상화 한 것 같은 리드미컬한 멜로디 등 바람의 요정이 된 듯한 여자친구의 모습을 상상해 봐도 좋을 것이다.
2. FINGERTIP
Composed & Lyrics & Arranged by 이기, 용배 / Drum Programing 서용배 / Bass 김예일 / Guitar 류현우 / Keyboard & Synthesizer 이기 / Background Vocals by 김소리 / Recorded by 이기, 용배 @OREO Studio 곽정신, 정모연 @Vibe Studio / Mixed by 조씨아저씨(Assi 전부연) @CUBE Studio
여자친구의 네 번 째 미니앨범 타이틀곡 ‘FINGERTIP’은 여자친구의 프로듀서 이기, 용배의 곡으로 ‘사랑하는 사람의 마음을 조종하는’ 당차고 주체적인 소녀들의 사랑방식을 표현한 곡이다. 펑키한 디스코 장르에 여자친구 스타일의 락 사운드를 가미한 댄스곡으로 인트로부터 나오는 보코더와 어깨를 들썩이게 하는 브라스 사운드가 인상적이며 이제껏 선보이지 않았던 여자친구의 성장과 새로운 모습을 볼 수 있을 것이다.
‘자각’, ‘각성’, ‘자각몽’, ‘루시드 드림’!
‘FINGERTIP’의 뮤직비디오는 여자친구와 학교 3부작을 함께 한 K-POP 뮤직비디오 명가 자니브로스의 홍원기 감독이 다시 한 번 메가폰을 잡았다. 앨범명인 THE AWAKENING에서 착안, 루시드 드림을 모티브로 한 이번 뮤직비디오는 이번에도 여자친구만을 위한 멋진 연출로 ‘학교 3부작’을 뛰어넘을 감각적인 작품으로 완성했다.
3. 비행운:飛行雲 (Contrail)
Composed by Brian Choi, 220, Erik Lidbom / Lyrics by Mafly, Keyfly / Arranged by Brian Choi, 220 / Piano Brian Choi / Background Vocals by 김소리 / Original Publisher ICONIC SOUNDS, HITFIRE PRODUCTION AB / Sub Publisher : NICHION, SonyATV, MUSICCUBE / Recorded by 곽정신, 정모연 @VIBE Studio / Mixed by Ethan Bradon @Iconic Studio
비행운은 Ragtime 피아노 리프와 보컬의 리드미컬한 호흡이 돋보이는 곡으로 하늘에 비행기를 따라 생기는 구름처럼 마음 속에 번지는 사랑을 예쁘게 표현하는 신선한 느낌의 곡이다. 특히 곡 전반의 멜로디가 상대를 뒤쫓아가는 발걸음을 표현한 듯 해 상상하며 들으면 재미있는 곡이다.
4. 나의 지구를 지켜줘 (Please Save My Earth)
Composed & Lyrics & Arranged by 미오 / Drum Programing 미오 / Guitar 정재필 / Background Vocals by 김소리 / Recorded by 곽정신, 정모연 @VIBE Studio / Mixed by 곽정신 @Vibe Studio
감성적인 피아노 멜로디와 화려한 브라스, 현악기가 조화를 이루는 가운데 풍성한 사운드를 뚫고 나오는 서정적 멜로디와 멤버들의 아련한 음색이 인상적인 곡이다. 싱어송라이터 그룹 ‘미오’의 작품으로 여자친구와 함께 한 전작 Mermaid에 이은 동화적인 감성 가운데, 다른 세상에 살면서도 서로의 세상을 거슬러 만난 운명적인 사랑을 ‘지구’와 언제나 지구를 비추는 ‘달빛’으로 비유해 표현한 판타지적 가사가 인상적이다.
5. 봄비 (Rain In The Spring Time)
Composed by Erik Lidbom, Sophia Pae, 220 / Lyrics by Mafly, Keyfly / Arranged by Erik Lidbom / Background Vocals by 김소리 / Original Publisher : ICONIC SOUNDS, HITFIRE PRODUCTION AB / Sub Publisher : NICHION, SonyATV, MUSICCUBE / Recorded by 곽정신, 정모연 @VIBE Studio / Mixed by Kelvin Hobbs @Iconic Studio
이 곡은 봄비의 느낌으로 표현되는 경쾌하면서도 심플한 피아노 리프와 아름다운 멜로디가 매력적인 곡으로 특히 후렴 파트에서 여자친구만의 드라마틱한 느낌이 연출되는 스트링과 리듬의 변화가 곡의 분위기를 극대화 시키는 곡이다. 또한 부드러운 봄비처럼 느껴지는 ‘너’에 대한 기억을 떠올릴 수 있는 곡이다.
6. 핑 (Crush)
Composed & Lyrics & Arranged by e.one / Guitar 정재필 / Keyborad 정호현 / Background Vocals by 금조 / Recorded by 곽정신, 정모연 @VIBE Studio / Mixed by 조씨아저씨 @CUBE Studio
뉴잭스윙을 기반으로 한 여자친구만의 파워풀한 아이덴티티가 돋보이는 곡. 리드미컬한 멜로디 선율과 스트링 섹션들, 그리고 한 층 더 업그레이드 된 보컬라인의 조화가 곡의 느낌을 잘 표현해 주었다. 짝사랑인 첫사랑, 그 아련함을 눈물이 핑 도는 소녀들의 여린 감성에 비유한 가삿말을 담았다.
