How do i look? Nxde by (G)I-DLE

The Korean idol group (G)I-DLE presented the video clip for the song "Nxde" (pronounced "nude"), inspired by Marilyn Monroe and Banksy, is a song recorded by the South Korean girl group (G)I-DLE, released by Cube Entertainment as the lead single from their fifth EP titled "I Love". The song was written and produced by Soyeon, a rapper and leader of the group, and co-produced by Pop Time and Kako.

The video denounces the commodification of female bodies in pop culture. Both the video and the lyrics go against the aesthetic and musical standards of K-pop, a restrictive industry regarding nudity. Its concept and its message are risky, accentuating the female figure and playing with provocation.

"Nxde" is combined at the base of the song with "Habanera", from Georges Bizet's 1875 opéra-comique Carmen. The instrumental rhythm of jazz next to alternative pop combines with sarcastic lyrics about nudity and hypersexualization.

The complex and elaborate scenery generates the support of female empowerment through the settings of a cabaret and museums showing the idea of women as a work of art adored by the public, but being very critical of the process of objectification that has taken place. along the history. "Nxde" is presented as a critical statement to break the framework of gender stereotypes.

Lyrics.-

Why you think that 'bout nude?
'Cause your view's so rude?
Think outside the box.
Then you'll like it.

Hello, my name is Ye Bei Ye Bei.
The way you talk is stupid, your body is sexy, sexy.
So, in a tiara with diamonds.
So that I laugh out loud, laugh out loud.

Distorted Lorelai, don’t need a man.
Philosophy-mad reader, Self-made woman.
It's so absurd to this ignorant story.
Audience booing You tricked me, you’re a liar.

Ah, a naked movie star.
Ah, the night the starlight is broken.
Even if you're out of shape, even if it's broken
Even if you're never loved again.

Yes, I'm a nude.
Nude follow me.
Yes, I'm a nude.
Nude I don't give a love.

Baby how do I look, how do I look.
Wear a beautiful day and follow me.
Baby how do I look, how do I look.
Wear a beautiful day and follow me.

(Ouch!)
Excuse me everyone here
If you were expecting a dirty work.
Oh, I'm sorry, there's nothing like that
Refunds are on the other side, information the public isn't interested in
Even if you throw that popcorn.
Happiness and Inverse Ratings,
But my top.

Ah, a naked movie star.
Ah, a night with nothing more to be ashamed of.
Even if you say you don't look good, maybe even to you.
Even if you're never loved again.

Yes, I'm a nude.
Nude follow me.
Yes, I'm a nude.
Nude I don't give a love.

Baby how do I look, how do I look.
Wear a beautiful day and follow me.
Baby how do I look, how do I look.
Wear a beautiful day and follow me.

Um ha um ha um ha um.
Yes, I'm a nude.
Yes, I'm a nude.
Now I draw a luxury nude.

Why you think that 'bout nude?
'Cause your view's so rude?
Think outside the box
tell me openly.

My beautiful nude.
My beautiful nude.
I'm born nude.
Pervert is you.
Rude.

Nude.
