Enchanted (Bbangsaz)

Hanni stepped out of the car, shielding her eyes as the flashes from cameras lit up the entrance to the radio station. Paparazzi crowded around, their voices blending into a chaotic chorus of questions.

"Hanni! How's Kim Minji?" one shouted, pushing his microphone forward.

"Is the album about Minji?" another called from the back.

Hanni clenched her jaw, keeping her gaze forward as they moved through the throng. She'd learned to handle the media's intensity, but this felt different—more personal.

Danielle gently nudged her as they reached the entrance. "Hey, you okay?"

"Yeah. Just... it's a lot, you know?" Hanni replied, forcing a small smile.

"Let's get inside and focus on what matters," Danielle encouraged, leading her through the station doors, away from the relentless cameras.

Once inside, Hanni took a deep breath, letting the silence of the studio calm her nerves. But the paparazzi's questions lingered in her mind.

The host walked in, beaming with energy. "Welcome to the show girls, we're so happy to have you here! How are you both feeling today?"

Hanni smiled brightly. "Excited! Thanks for having us."

Danielle nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, it's great to be here!"

The host turned to the audience. "We're here with Hanni, whose highly anticipated album is about to drop, and her friend and collaborator, Danielle Marsh. Hanni, we've heard a lot about how you work so hard when it comes to music. Can you tell us how you started working on this album?"

"Of course!" Hanni began, her eyes sparkling with passion. "I spent a lot of late nights just experimenting with sounds and lyrics. I wanted to capture something real, you know? I felt like it was time to dig deeper into my emotions."

Danielle leaned in, her excitement contagious. "It's been such a journey! Hanni really poured her heart into this album. I think she's the most talented artist I know."

The host grinned. "What's the inspiration behind the single 'OMG'? I've heard so much buzz about it."

Hanni's smile widened. "'OMG' is all me! I wrote it from a place of pure excitement—the feeling of falling for someone and those butterflies that come with it. I wanted to encapsulate that rush of emotions you feel when you're infatuated."

Danielle added, "The production is super fun! It has this upbeat vibe that just makes you want to dance."

The host nodded appreciatively. "So, how did you come up with the sound for it?"

Hanni shrugged playfully. "Honestly, it started with a simple melody I couldn't get out of my head. I just built around that, layering different sounds until it felt right."

The host leaned in, clearly intrigued. "Did you have any struggles during the songwriting process?"

Hanni chuckled. "Oh, for sure. There were times when I felt like I was hitting a wall, but I just kept pushing through. It's all about being honest with yourself and your emotions."

"Sounds like you really poured your heart into this," the host replied. "Are there any other tracks on the album that you're particularly excited about?"

Hanni nodded. "Definitely! I also have a song that I collaborated with Danielle on called 'APT.' It's about a drinking game but also explores a fun and flirty side. It was great to have her input on it, especially since we've been friends for so long."

The host turned to Danielle. "What was it like collaborating with Hanni on that track?"

Danielle beamed. "It was a absolutely wonderful! Hanni knows how to bring out the best in everyone she works with. We bounced ideas off each other, and it turned into something really special."
