Article: 2NE1 Teases and Makes Fun with ‘I Love You’ (Song Review)

2NE1 is back, but instead of its usual way of screaming out that they′re the best and hot like fire, the group has stepped back a bit to get down on its knees.

Could it be? Could 2NE1 be getting all mushy and girly after surviving its rocky ‘puberty’?

Not really.

Just because 2NE1’s begging for love doesn’t mean it’s popped out the pink hearts and lace just yet.

The lyrics go full out with the begging, asking the man to ‘look back at me’ and ‘please be honest’, but they’re set in a tone that makes them sound like they’re actually demanding, instead of begging for, love.

The melody and the lyrics are so stereotypical and open, and as the vocals push and pull in a tantalizing way, they even sound sarcastic to some extent.

The corny narration at the beginning adds to the mood; who could be serious in putting something like that in a 2NE1 song?

The strong beat the song explodes into near the end forces their demands even more. It’s like they have the man standing confused in the middle while they jump around having fun, teasing him by singing out their ‘love’ with big grins on their faces.

The song does have its shortcomings, as Park Bom, who usually boasted a commanding weight with her unique vocals, doesn’t really stand out because her voice lacks the push and pull this song needs.

All in all, however, 2NE1’s past career makes this song more interesting than how it would’ve been if the song had been sung by another group.

So join 2NE1 as the girls-turned-women show you a new side to it, but don’t take them too seriously; the group is all about having fun, after all.
