**“Egoist (feat. JinSoul)”** (Hangul: 이고이스트) is the first and title track from single album ***Olivia Hye*** by member Olivia Hye of LOONA. It was released on March 30, 2018 as the twelfth part of the “**Girl of the Month**” project along with a music video on YouTube.

## Description

* English
* Korean

Olivia Hye’s titled track “Egoist” starts with calm melodies to eventually encounter provocative beats to take a step towards loving oneself instead of someone else. Pop melodies mix with EDM beats to build up until a dramatic fall at the beat drop, which then is brought to salvation by JinSoul’s rap.

Also, the music video features Olivia Hye’s dynamic movements, along with hidden cuts around the narratives of LOOΠΔ.

Olivia Hye의 타이틀 곡 ‘Egoist’는 차분한 멜로디로 시작하여 점점 도발적인 비트를 만나며 남이 아닌 나에 대한 사랑으로 다가선다. 팝 멜로디를 중심으로 EDM을 뒤섞어 고조되는 음악은 비트 드랍을 통해 추락했다가 진솔의 랩으로 다시 구원 받는다.

뮤직비디오 역시 Olivia Hye의 다이내믹한 동작을 지켜보는 재미 외에도 이달의 소녀의 내러티브를 따라 숨겨져있는 컷들을 보는 재미를 갖추었다.

## Korean

어느 순간 내게 싸늘해진 니 표정
미워할래도 내 맘은
너를 보내지 못했어
시간이 모두 잊게 한단 말
그 말 조차 내겐 아픔이 되어
널 잊지 못했어

내 맘에 가득 피었던
꽃잎들이 모두 떨어져
발끝에는 내 눈물이 (Oh~oh)
해가 저물고 집으로
돌아오던 어둠 끝에서
달빛을 보게 된 거야 (Oh~oh)

이제는 너 아닌 나를 좀 더
사랑할거야 살아 갈 거야
한발 더 다가가 나를 더
안아 줄 거야 전부 줄 거야

Love myself today (Ohh)
Let you go today (Oh-whoa)
Love myself today (Ohh)
Let you go today (Oh-whoa)

Hey 너를 삼켜 버린 죄로
아름다운 넌 점점 커져가
너는 바로 나 이제 나는 너
내 혈관까지 조금씩 더 스며든
On&On 끝 없는 사이클 너와 나
우린 떨어질 수 없어 보고 싶을 땐
눈을 감아 난 잠깐 너에게로 다가가
눈을 감고 나에게 더 너 점점 다가와

두 손을 모아 한 번만
너를 다시 돌려 달라고
기도하던 내 꿈들이 (Oh~oh)
세 번의 키스 우리의
약속들이 빛이 되던 날
비로소 알게 된 거야 (Oh~oh)

이제는 너 아닌 나를 좀 더
사랑할거야 살아 갈 거야
한발 더 다가가 나를 더
안아 줄 거야 전부 줄 거야

수 많은 별들 우주 속에서
나를 만난 건 아마 (아마)
우연이 아냐 운명일 거야
축복일 거야 내게 (Eh~)

이제는 너 아닌 나를 좀 더
사랑할거야 살아 갈 거야
한발 더 다가가 나를 더
안아 줄 거야 전부 줄 거야

Love myself today (Ohh)
Let you go today (Oh-whoa)
Love myself today (Ohh)
Let you go today (Oh-whoa)
Love myself today

## Translation

Your facial expressions towards me turned cold at some moment
I wanted to despise you
But my heart wouldn’t let you go
They say that time heals
Even those words became pain for me
I couldn’t get over you

All the petals of the flowers
That bloomed in my heart fall
My tears are on the tips of my toes (Oh~oh)
At the edge of the darkness
On the way home after sunset
That’s where I saw the moonlight (Oh~oh)

From now on, I’ll love myself
Instead of you, I’ll live on
Take another step
To hold myself, and give myself all

Love myself today (Ohh)
Let you go today (Oh-whoa)
Love myself today (Ohh)
Let you go today (Oh-whoa)

Hey, for the sin of swallowing you
You get bigger and bigger, beautiful you
You are me, now I’m you
Little by little, soaked into my veins
On & on, you and me, the endless cycle
We can’t be separated, when I miss you
I close my eyes and go to you for a while
Close your eyes and you come closer to me

Put my hands together
And ask for you back just once
My dreams that I prayed for (Oh~oh)
Three kisses
The day when our promises became the light
That’s when I realized (Oh~oh)

From now on, I’ll love myself
Instead of you, I’ll live on
Take another step
To hold myself, and give myself all

Love myself today (Ohh)
Let you go today (Oh-whoa)
Love myself today (Ohh)
Let you go today (Oh-whoa)

In the space with countless stars
You met me
It must not be a coincidence
It was fate, a blessing for me (Eh~)

From now on, I’ll love myself
Instead of you, I’ll live on
Take another step
To hold myself, and give myself all

Love myself today (Ohh)
Let you go today (Oh-whoa)
Love myself today (Ohh)
Let you go today (Oh-whoa)
Love myself today
