The power-injecting lyrics like, “I got the power. I'm just like me. That's why I'm beautiful,” inspired fans once again with intense positivity. He also reflects on his journey through this new song, noting how he started at the bottom and then rose to the top.
There was much excitement about his new release and needless to say, the K-pop icon didn’t disappoint. POWER is just like G-Dragon’s previous solo hits if not better.

Kwon Ji Yong, better known by his stage name G-Dragon is a legendary figure in the K-pop industry. He is one of the very first Hally stars who massively contributed to the global popularization of the Korean music genre. In 2008, he kickstarted his journey as a leader of BIGBANG, one of K-pop’s most prolific acts.
Alongside fellow members Taeyang, Daesung, Seungri (Now former), and T.O.P (ex-member), he played a central role in making their music reach global platforms while paving the way for future generations.
In 2009, he also launched his solo career alongside being a BIGBANG member. His first full-length album Heartbreaker achieved extreme commercial success, becoming the best-selling album of a K-pop artist at that time.
After leaving YG Entertainment, he signed with Galaxy Corporation last year, marking his first release under the agency with POWER.
