By Charlotte is Here!Published about a year ago 3 min read

One of the most talked-about international rookie K-pop groups, LE SSERAFIM has constantly pushed the bar higher since their entrance. On "Smart," their breakthrough single, they let us in on a refreshing and empowering anthem that, aside from showcasing their capability, reminds us again of their image as innovators and bold, uncompromising performers of the show arts. "Smart" is one single track and an example of LE SSERAFIM's art that deserves in-depth review here.

Sound That Speaks Volumes

"Smart" opens with this playful, electronic melody right from the beginning that rivets attention. Colorful, fresh, full of life and energy, so as to promote an earworm track with floor-in-concrete lyrics. A partial synthesis of synth-pop and funk elements is used in the production, with rhythmic layered beats and soft basslines producing a dynamic listening experience.

But really what makes "Smart" outstanding is how intelligently it's pieced together. The way verses and pre-chorus ease in and out of a solid, strong chorus, every element informing the other and resulting in a hauntingly unforgettable verse-it's one of those tracks that may well cling to your consciousness for a long time even from the very first listen.

 

Empowering Lyrics That Resonate

Lyrically, "Smart" is an ode to being self-aware and confident. The message buried in the song speaks volumes to embracing one's self and intellect without giving into superficial judgments or societal pressures. Lines such as "I'm greater than what they get to see My brain's a galaxy" outline the advantages inner brilliance and power have compared to appearances.

The lyrics are also playful, defiant, as LE SSERAFIM refuses to back away from pushing boundaries, and "Smart" is a call to action that's helpful for audience members to realize different is good, stay true to "we." This note fits with the overall intention of the group, one of resistance and self-determination, and runs through their work consistently.

Performance: Bringing the Concept to Life

Indeed a "smart" song; the live performances are truly wondrous. There's choreography that's as clever as the song itself, sharp calculated movements to mimic how one would think fast or adjust quickly. Dynamic formations amidst lighthearted movements visually bring to life the LE SSERAFIM version of intelligence and wit within this track.

Their stage presence is undeniable, from the playful smirks to confident glances passed between members; charisma oozes from LE SSERAFIM, making "Smart" not just a song but an experience. How they balance technical accuracy with dynamic expressive impact is a badge of honor to their diligence and artistry.

The Visual Identity

The "Smart" music video is a feast to the eyes, with pulsating colors interwoven with modern aesthetics. It is in this very future school-like setting, highlighting it as a place of creativity and intelligence in all their glory. The style of everyone speaks volumes on individuality, but connected in a single team setup, serves for example the reason to highlight thematic elements under knowledge and inquiry through using the right props like books, holograms, and even puzzles.

The cinematography is striking, too: fast-paced cuts and innovative angles keep viewers engaged. From the lighting to the transitions, every little detail makes the video feel polished and purposeful.

Why "Smart" Matters

Unlike the stories of love and loss that rule the industry, "Smart" is another point of view-one about self-love and empowerment. It is one of those songs that entertains while motivating, probably most powerfully for a younger audience struggling to find their own path of self-discovery.

What makes LE SSERAFIM different is that their artists are into making music that is honest in intent. Smart," too, they show it is possible to be entertaining with intelligence. The relatability in the track is what actually makes it universal; everyone has been in a situation sometime wherein one had to speak of one's worth and wit to a world that devalues those.

It's all about resilience, individuality, and unshaken confidence. While they continue to carve out their place in the K-pop scene, one thing is for sure: LE SSERAFIM is a force to be dealt with, and they're doing it on their own terms. Smart," they have given fans a song that's as motivational as it is striking, making us all watch with a hunger to know what they'll achieve next.
