==Trivia==
* To celebrate its release, Orbits trended “#LOONA_BUTTERFLY” to #1 Worldwide on Twitter.
* This music video has been filmed in many countries.
* Korean fans sometimes shorten “버터플라이” (beoteopeulai) to “버플” (beo-peul).
* [ENG SUB] MonoTree’s discussion about “Butterfly” (YouTube):
** Part 1 - concept and lyrics of the song
**Part 2 - more technical aspect; music production and recording
***(English subtitles by Orrery Nim and Team Subbits)
=== MonoTree’s discussion about “Butterfly“===
*Hi High and Butterfly – topics + connection:
*At the end of the “Hi High” MV, HeeJin flies into the air without wings. This scene left a big impact on Hwang Hyun (“Hi High”’s producer). To him, it felt like the members were still like caterpillars in “Hi High”.
* Composer G-High’s process:
** G-High thought about the concept/image of the song before the lyrics.
** When he wrote the lyrics, G-High started with the chorus lyrics first.
