In conversation with the Vogue, Lisa revealed that she found her hidden talents while working as soloist, ”

While I was working on this song, I found out that I like not only melodic rap but also tight rap. I tried a tight rap in Money, and I really like this hip-hop style, which spits out fast with a strong beat. It’s a new swag that was hidden inside me. It’s probably the first time the fans have heard it, so I think it’s fun to compare how it’s different from the melodic rap.”

Lisa on the dark contrasts of her video teaser and vibrant videos said the idea to bring positivity fueled all the decisions behind the production of her album.

What fans love about Lisa is her confidence- the swag she brings on stage and in every performance, With the idea of performing her solo album without her band mates, Lisa said, “The performance lasts for three minutes, and it can shine only when you maintain your own energy and power. I, therefore, tried harder to manage my physical strength and health with the thought of, “If you’re going to do it, do it right!”
