IVE's Signature Tracks That Come to Life the Moment You Turn on the Screen

'ELEVEN' is the debut title track from IVE's 2021 album, ELEVEN. The restrained introduction and the slowing pre-chorus twist the flow of familiar pop, and the repeated chorus leaves a solid first impression of the team. Observing how the scenes imagined in the recording are translated into colors, props, and scale reveals how much production influences the meaning of the song. As the opening track of this list, it’s better to pick a sound that creates a first impression rather than searching for the answer right away. Focus on capturing the initial impression based on the texture you hear now rather than the song's fame.

A specific point for observation is to 'listen to the moment when the beat relaxes in the pre-chorus and then gain momentum again right after the chorus.' For the first playback, turn off the subtitles and follow the repeating colors and objects, as well as the height of the camera, to find the rules of the screen. Divide the official music video into the first scene, first chorus, and last scene, and see if the same colors or objects reappear. Finding the moment when the repeated images meet the lyrics allows you to distinguish between whether the screen is merely decorative or a clue to the narrative. If you only follow the vocal, you might miss the entrance of the drums and the overlap of the chorus, so checking this breadth will help you differentiate the expression method chosen by 'ELEVEN' more accurately.

Divide the official music video into the first scene, first chorus, and last scene, and see if the same colors or objects reappear.
