A Phoenix is usually a symbol of hope, resurrection and immortality. The Phoenix was used in the teasers as a sign of hope just like my fans. And a Phoenix obtains new life from rising from the ashes. Us as humans can do the same thing after a loss or desolation. My fans give me that power to rise up again which is why I thought this name was fitting"

This makes it the best selling single in Korean history, only behind BTS' single Butter.

Jada described 'Leader' as a song that describes "how easily friends leave you astray at times. They'll manipulate and push you into doing things and then when all goes wrong, they put all the blame onto you. At the start of the song, I am the friend encouraging you, the listener, to follow me and to do everything I tell you to do. I assure you that's it's all harmless. By the end of the song, I'm now telling you that I had nothing to do with what went wrong. By the end of the song, I'm basically gaslighting you and am putting you into a state of despair. The song sounds quite erratic and unhinged but also coherent, which is what I was aiming for."

### 2028: Lâche-Moi La Grappe, 薔薇色-尾行, 빈 공간 (Wandering)

On April 20th, Jada released her 1st French mini album, Lâche-Moi La Grappe. Jada described this album as an album about "Pressures. The album name translates to 'Get Off My Back'.

On October 11th, Jada released her second single '빈 공간 (Wandering)' with Hueningkai of TXT. Jada said the song is about 'Having an empty space inside of you as well as wandering in an empty space, so the title serves a double meaning in a way. Sometimes, you think that your life is good and everything is fine. But sometimes, you feel as if something is missing. You feel like incomplete. Even going to school or work or anywhere at times can feel as if you're wandering in an empty and meaningless space, You start to wonder, "What am I doing?"', trying to find a reason for that emptiness, trying to wonder why a part of you feels empty. Sometimes, you just can't figure out why. This is portrayed through this song. Hueningkai Hyung voice sounds really nice on this track which is why I asked him to be on the track and he said he could relate to it, which was even better and you can tell he can relate to it."
