During the showcase to commemorate the release of her 3rd full album, "INVU," on February 14, Taeyeon shared it's an honor and privilege to be dubbed a role model, adding that it also comes with so much pressure.

The "Weekend" singer added that most of the songs in "INVU" are about herself, particularly the song "I."
The theme of "INVU" is love, so she made sure to show the different facets of love in her third studio album.
The Girls' Generation member also talked about her title track and said she knew from the first time she heard the demo that this was supposed to be her carrier single.

When talking about the music video for "INVU," Taeyeon said that she tried her best to express herself in different ways throughout the song.
The choreography is also unique because it focuses on the letters that spell the word "INVU." And there are also Greek and Roman concepts throughout the music video.
