“I heard the static spark can ignite gasoline vapors and cause a flash fire. I wanted to show my energy and confidence,” Key told The Korea Herald. He also mentioned the driving source behind his energy and confidence continues to be his fans. The K-Pop idol emphasized that his brand new album was “peppered with various musical colours,”. He said that it felt like an extension of “Bad Love”, one of his earlier and wildly popular albums. Key added that the term “retro” was possibly one of the biggest inspirations in bringing his niche music out to the world.
“Retro is not something new to me, but it’s just me”, Key told The Korea Herald. The pop icon mentioned that he didn’t want to hide his identity from music listeners. He explained that he wanted to showcase his work as a soloist and mentioned that he worked on the entire project with a humble outlook.
