A revisit to Hwasa’s solo hits in celebration of her birthday
1. TWIT
Hwasa's debut solo single TWIT, released on February 13, 2019, is a bold statement of individuality and empowerment. With its catchy pop melody and vibrant blend of trap beats and tropical house, the track showcases Hwasa's unique vocal prowess.
The song's lyrics, featuring a mix of playful and assertive lines, address a fool who is blind to their own shortcomings, emphasizing self-worth and independence. TWIT not only topped South Korean charts but also made waves internationally, establishing Hwasa’s position as a standout solo artist in K-pop.
2. Maria
Hwasa’s hit song Maria, released on June 29, 2020, is a powerful dance anthem that blends trap, synth, and Latin pop with raw emotion. The song captures the isolation and pressure of fame, as Hwasa sings about suppressing her emotions and standing resilient in the face of public scrutiny.
Its catchy beat and poignant lyrics earned it a top spot on the Gaon Charts and numerous awards, including Best Digital Song and Song of the Year. Maria not only highlights Hwasa's musical versatility but also her ability to turn personal struggles into an empowering message.
3. I’m a B
I’m a B is a bold and playful track by Hwasa from her single album Guilty Pleasure, released on November 24, 2021. With a clever twist on the Korean word “bit”, meaning “light,” the song also hints at the English “bitch,” adding a cheeky edge.
Hwasa uses this duality to reflect on her unapologetic, fierce persona and the challenges of her career. The R&B and dance-infused track combines catchy beats with raw, self-empowering lyrics, showcasing Hwasa’s signature blend of confidence and introspection.
4. I Love My Body
Hwasa’s single I Love My Body, released on September 6, 2023, marked a vibrant new chapter under P NATION. This empowering anthem celebrates self-love and body positivity with infectious energy and uplifting lyrics. The song’s upbeat rhythm and bold message encourage listeners to embrace their bodies and radiate joy.
Hwasa's powerful delivery and fresh beats make I Love My Body both a personal declaration and an inspiring call for self-acceptance and happiness. This track reaffirmed Hwasa's role as a fearless advocate for self-love in the music industry.
5. Chili
Hwasa’s newest release Chili, released on October 4, 2023, ignites a fiery dancefloor with its bold Moombahton beats and minimalistic flair. Written and composed by Hwasa herself, the track is a tantalizing mix of spicy rhythms and sharp vocals that burst with energy.
Reuniting with producer Park Woo Sang, known for his work on hits like Maria and TWIT, Hwasa delivers a song that embodies the complex flavors of chili; spicy, tangy, and vibrant. Chili captures her signature fierceness, turning every beat into a dance-worthy declaration of individuality.
