**“Algorithm”** (Hangul: 알고리즘) is the second and title track from HeeJin’s first mini album *<K>*.

## Description

* English
* Korean

Title track ‘Algorithm’ is a break-up song about remembrance after love that has ended, just like the unwanted feed items that pop up that we talk about nowadays. It reconstructs the sound of artists like Madonna, Janet Jackson, and Cyndi Lauper who led Western pop in the 80s, and maximizes the dynamic texture of K-pop style to immediately capture the listener’s ears.

The music video, just as shown in the teaser, shows HeeJin living as a princess in the palace before getting into K-pop, escaping the palace, meeting friends and practicing choreography; in that way it depicts the image of an initiative-taking girl in an audition through the style of a K-drama. This tracks with the narrative of her escaping her old company to meet with friends and becoming one. ARTMS and ODD EYE CIRCLE members Kim Lip, JinSoul, and Choerry all appear, and the surprise appearance of HaSeul at the end adds to the fun.

타이틀 곡 ‘Algorithm’은 요즘 흔히 이야기하듯 보고 싶지 않아도 뜨는 피드처럼 끝나버린 사랑 이후에도 자꾸 떠오르는 이별 노래이다. 80년대 서양의 팝을 주도했던 마돈나, 자넷 잭슨, 신디 로퍼 같은 아티스트들의 사운드를 복각하고 K-POP 스타일의 다이내믹한 텍스츄어를 극대화하여 듣는 이의 귀를 한 번에 사로잡는다.

특히 뮤직비디오는 티저에서 공개된 것처럼 궁에서 공주로 살고 있던 희진이 K-POP에 빠져 궁을 탈출해 친구들을 만나고 안무 연습을 하는 등 오디션에 참여하는 능동적인 소녀의 모습을 K-Drama 스타일로 보여준다. 이는 기존의 회사를 탈출해 친구들을 만나 하나가 된다는 서사와 맞닿아있다. ARTMS의 멤버이자 ODD EYE CIRCLE인 김립, 진솔, 최리가 등장하며 마지막엔 하슬이 깜짝 등장해 재미를 더한다.

지웠어 니 번호
SNS에도
머릿속에도
내 친구들까지
끝났대 너와
잊으래 Bye bye

근데 In the morning
또 습관처럼 Swipe now
손 끝으로 밀어내며
Can’t stop now
그만두려 해도 자꾸 너만 생각 나
손톱으로 밀어내도 Can’t stop now

Sad love song 슬퍼도 Time is up
알고리즘에 뜬 노래가
다 내 얘기같아
눈물을 감추고 핸드폰 꺼봐도
너 하나만 계속 떠올라 내 맘도 모르고

Na, na-na-na-na-na-na
I’m pretty sure I need it
Na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Always still think of you, baby
Na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Don’t take too long, my baby
Na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Tell me more, I love you

이별의 한 순간
시간이 전부
해결한다며 Yeah
왜 그런데 왜 나만
Come back your answer
기다려 애써 Yeah

그래 In the morning 나 눈뜨자마자 Now
Pop-up 뜨는데로 지워버려 Now
Just 1 minute 내겐 충분해 Now
Pop-up 외울만큼 지워내도 난

Sad love song 슬퍼도 Time is up
알고리즘에 뜬 노래가
다 내 얘기같아
눈물을 감추고 핸드폰 꺼봐도
너 하나만 계속 떠올라 내 맘도 모르고

Love song 부르고 싶던 노래
Sad love 우리의 Ending
Addiction 이렇게 멀어진 널
But let you go, I’ll let you go

Lock the phone, throw it out the window
결국엔 전부 다 똑같은
첫 사랑 얘기들
I gotta roll the dice
그만 Close my eyes
보지 않아도 이젠 모두
다 알 것 만 같아

Na, na-na-na-na-na-na
I’m not crying again
Na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Never ever
Na, na-na-na-na-na-na
From now on leave me alone
Na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Ooh, whoa-oh

## Translation

I erased your number
Blocked you on social media
Erased you from my head
Even my friends
Tell me it’s over
Tell me to forget you, bye bye

Waking in the morning
Oh so naturally, swipe now
Like my hand is auto-pilot
Can’t stop now
Keep on thinking about you, even though I try not to
Like my hand is auto-pilot, can’t stop now

Sad love song, sad but time is up
It’s my story, every music bumpin’
Algorithm rush
Even if I wipe my tears and turn off my phone
Every day I keep on thinking about you, you don’t know how I feel

Na, na-na-na-na-na-na
I’m pretty sure I need it
Na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Always still think of you, baby
Na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Don’t take too long, my baby
Na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Tell me more, I love you

It’s just a breakup phase
Time is the answer
That’s what they told me, yeah
But I don’t seem to change now
Come back, your answer
Tried waiting for you, yeah

Waking in the morning, oh so naturally, swipe now
Pop-up notifications, I erase them now
Just one minute, that’s enough for me now
Pop-up too much that I know them all now

Sad love song, sad but time is up
It’s my story, every music bumpin’
Algorithm rush
Even if I wipe my tears and turn off my phone
Every day I keep on thinking about you, you don’t know how I feel

Love song, that’s what I’ve wanted to sing
Sad love, our story’s ending
Addiction but you’re so far away
But let you go, I’ll let you go

Lock the phone, throw it out the window
They all end the same
That’s what happens to first love
I gotta roll the dice
And just close my eyes, I don’t have to look to know
Exactly how it ends

Na, na-na-na-na-na-na
I’m not crying again
Na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Never ever
Na, na-na-na-na-na-na
From now on, leave me alone
Na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Ooh, whoa-oh
