Park Ji Hoon has finally released his new song under the UNIVERSE Music series, "Call U Up (Feat. Lee Hi) (Prod. Primary)" on major streaming platforms.
NCSoft and Klap released the third entry in its UNIVERSE Music - original and all new songs released under the platform - and is now available on streaming sites such as Melon, Genie, and Bugs on March 4, 6 PM KST. Additionally, the music video for "Call U Up" will be making its debut exclusively on the UNIVERSE app.
The song, running for almost four minutes, is a smooth track which is surprising since it was produced by Korean hitmaker Primary, known for upbeat or funky bangers - although his versatility has been well-established. As a more reserved song with R&B elements, Park Ji Hoon and Lee Hi surprisingly harmonizes well like two conversing partners on top of the homely rhythms and instrumentals.
As for its lyrics, Park Ji Hoon and Lee Hi hint at small details of getting caught in unexpected love. "The sweetness that I fall for unexpectedly/ In this feeling for you that's becoming clearer/ We don't have a name to call our relationship yet/ You can call me love in tonight," Ji Hoon opens.
"Call U Up," which features Lee Hi and is produced by Primary, is the third track under the UNIVERSE Music banner. It follows IZ*ONE and "D-D-Dance" released in January, and Rain and Sumi Jo's "Guardian" last February.
