♥ Oh My Girl ♡ ♥ 2nd Mini Album 'Closer' ♡ ♥ Album Track List ♡ 1. ♥ Closer ♡ 2. ♥ Say No More ♡ 3. ♥ Playground ♡ 4. ♥ Sugar Baby ♡ 5. ♥ Round About ♡ The album starts out with "Closer," an ethereal dance track akin to BoA's "Shattered." It's a slower, more languorous track, with lush effects, synth washes, and layered vocals. Towards the end is really when it reaches its nadir, with raps combining with the beautifully-sung chorus. It's an epic tune, and the girls handle it well. The lyrics are about getting closer to a guy, but there's an interesting line here: "Out of all the constellations I take the one that you look like And gently place it in the sky. I hope you see it." "Say No More" has a snappy R&B groove to it, but the chorus doesn't really match the smooth buildup in the verses. It feels a bit disjointed, like two different songs fused together. The verses contain their sweet voices, and they carry the song nicely until they hit the chorus, where the vocals don't really match the tempo. Light, fun, and poppy, the tune "Playground" has more to recommend it than you might think. There's some understated sassy horns, and the girls get a bit more adamant as the song progresses, almost like they're giving the guy a piece of their mind. "Sugar Baby" has that doo-wop '60s girl group vibe to it, from the piano to the honking synths. It's very sweetly sung, with a main singer and backing singers as well. As saccharine as its name, the song is more far innocent than the title might suggest. "Round About" is high-tempo and playful with lots of repetitions and callouts as hooks. Body-moving and definitely light on content, it moves at a breakneck pace and never lets up.
