Somi, 18, has made her grand entrance as a solo artist with “Birthday.” Somi, a.k.a. Jeon Somi, released her new song and music video on June 13. “Birthday” is the definition of fierce and fun. The music video is visually stunning, with Somi slaying in so many amazing and colorful outfits. Somi is throwing the ultimate birthday party and all we want to do is be invited.
Truly, this is the perfect song for summer. Somi’s vocals are top notch. She also incorporates some rap into “Birthday” and we’re obsessed with it. This energetic song has solidified Somi as a solo artist to look out for. Immediately after “Birthday” was released, Somi became a trending topic on Twitter. Fans couldn’t stop raving about the song. “Somi didn’t have to snap this hard but I guess she did it wow #SomiBirthdayDebut,” one fan tweeted. Another wrote, “This is totally a bop! from baby somi to queen somi real quick! Totally loving the song.”
Somi opened up about the exciting track and what it means. “‘Birthday’ is the day of birth,” she said, according to Soompi. “It also has the meaning as the day I was reborn as a solo singer. ‘Outta My Head’ is my self-composed song. I didn’t have any idea of writing lyrics and composing, but my company producers helped me. I experienced the pain of creating for the first time.”
