Contents

Composition

The breezy “Love U” is guided by fizzy synths and bright melodies as Chungha expresses her desire. “I just wanna, wanna love you,” she croons during the chorus.

Music video

In the music video for "Love U," Chungha is seen reflecting on the passion that she feels and wishing upon falling stars and glowing stones as she dreams of her romance. Much of the song is relayed as the singer spends time looking into the camera, ostensibly acting as the perspective of her beloved, roaming around looking at nature, and performing the song's vibrant, hip-shaking choreography.
