## Trivia

* Despite the English version being labeled as an English version, it contains lyrics from the Chinese version and a few Korean lyrics. The logic behind this is that if Korean and Chinese songs can add a few English words, why not do it the other way?
* Some lines that were originally in English from the Chinese version were changed to different lines in the English version.
