Oh My God (EP)
2020 EP by (G)I-dle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oh My God (stylized in sentence case) is the second Japanese extended play (fifth overall) by South Korean girl group (G)I-dle. The album was released by Universal Music Japan on August 26, 2020, after a year since Latata released. It contains Japanese versions of previously released singles "Oh My God", "Uh-Oh", "Senorita" and "Dumdi Dumdi" as well as one original Japanese track, "Tung-Tung (Empty)" which was written and composed by member Minnie.
Background and release
Starting June 23, 2020, individual teaser images of the members with the phrase "(G)I-dle 2020.06.29 Mon 6PM" were posted on the group's official Japan Twitter account, without any official clarification of the teaser's content and purpose.[1] On June 29, it was confirmed that (G)I-dle would be releasing their second Japanese extended play, titled Oh My God, on August 26.[2][3]
On July 10, (G)I-dle released jacket photos of the EP through their website.[4] The photos showed "two sides of front and back", black and red, black and white, which are linked to the concept of "Angels and Devils" presented in the song. Along with the release of the jacket photos, a special site for Oh My God was opened.[5] Pre-orders began on July 14.[6]
Songs
The title song "Oh My God" is a song that mixes emotions of rejection, confusion, cognition, and dignity, and reminds to believe in dear self through conflict with reality.[7][8] "Uh-Oh" is an expression that comes out of your mouth when you come across a puzzle, and it's a song that people who were completely uninterested at first seemed to pretend to be good friends later.[7] "Senorita" is a bold and provocative song about what to do when you fell in love at first sight.[7][9] Like the meaning of the word "Tung-Tung" (텅텅, emptiness), it is a emotional song that expresses the feeling of a tired heart which was once full but became empty. Through Minnie's words, "I hope that many people will sympathize with this song because it conveys loneliness."[7][10] "Dumdi Dumdi" is a song through which (G)I-dle wants to convey "heat", "coolness", "passion", and "heartbeat" that are associated with summer and youth.[7][11]
