"SOBER"
by HYOYEON
--
Hyo released a song also in 2018 named Punk Right Now, where it was a clubhouse banger. Her voice was mildly raspy and cutely addicting.
She was badass there and was rapping. Cool, I assumed this was something that was going to be of her in that party mood again.
<Diff, "the producer in the title feature also made me believe that.>
bUT, HOW ABOUT describing my life in the opening line. <Pic here>
The beat is emboldening her voice perfect. Both on the more spcaious part and the buildup into the drop. Just so piercing.
<Cut>
As far as I'm concerned this is the only song of the year with a different set of translations. According to Hinayuu Aoi, he/she stated that and it blew me away if that is true. Now, I can't prove so as I can't read or speak Korean.

Now with that taken into consideration, the lyrics really portray a manipulative partner. As they aren't into you tonight, presumably drunk and will be tommorow, sober.
Even with all the care that the partner B is doing for Partner A.
<Screenshot, rub shoulder>
(I have no idea what rub shoulder means)The rest of the way depicts the ways that Partner A is continually taking advantage of B, even taunting a bit with you want me all to myself and wanna know but I don't kiss and tell.
<Cut>
Like the robotic vocal change and audio breaks happen to end it. But yeah, hopefully there are some Korean-English speakers that can confirm or deny this.
