Pieces before the album

The label said 'CLICK' is the start of a series of pre-release singles, each with a different mood and colour, that will gradually reveal the outline of her first full-length.

Instead of putting the album out at once, it sends out one piece at a time. When the finished thing arrives has not been said.

Done this way, each piece gets judged on its own. A song that would have been heard beside its neighbours inside an album stands alone instead. The first piece becomes the album's first impression, so which song goes first is a decision about what to introduce the album as.

The word click

The song is described as expressing, with the word 'click', an encounter between two people who know they should not be drawn to each other yet fit instinctively.

A click is a short sound — the sound of something locking into place, and the kind that cannot be undone once heard.

The arrangement is described as dance-pop rhythm laid over restrained synths and a springy bass. A fitting description for a song about the moment of locking in rather than about volume.

A robot in a stopped amusement park

The music video was directed by Joseph Kahn, who has won the Grammy for music video twice — for Eminem's 'Without Me' and Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood'.

According to the label, JISOO plays the last robot with feelings, left alone in an abandoned amusement park where time seems to have stopped. She tears tickets and sweeps floors through a lonely routine until she finds a broken teddy-bear robot and brings it back.

A song about the moment of locking in is paired with a story about reviving something broken. The word click is used in two directions at once.

What to check today

Watch the video first. Where the amusement park stopped is the first thing to look for.

Then play the song alone. Whether the moment of locking in is audible without the pictures is the check.

Last, remember that this is the first piece. The next one is announced as a different colour.

That's the last of the numbers. Now, the music.
