Limoncello Lyrics – CHUU (츄) | from “XO, My Cyberlove”

This track’s a masterclass in sweet sting: co-written by Swedish hitmaker shy martin (think Dua Lipa vibes), Dutch wordsmith Gabriëlle Stok, and UK lyricist Lauren Aquilina, with production nods to Tessie of 153Joombas. It’s pure K-pop sparkle—upbeat synth pops and glittering beats that swirl like citrus fizz, blending CHUU’s breathy bilingual delivery with a house-tinged pulse.

Thematically, it’s all about that dizzy rush of new love, sour at the edges but impossible to resist: “널 본 순간 Sour,” she hums, capturing the heartbeat flip when someone’s gaze pulls you under. It’s got pre-chorus pinches (“Bite it, bite it”) and la-la hooks that beg for replays, evolving from her solo singles into something bolder, more global—less girl-group gloss, more intimate glow-up.

The album? It’s CHUU’s debut full-length, a nine-track fever dream of digital-age crushes and analog heart flutters, framed as a “modern love story” through her wide-eyed lens. Opener “XO, My Cyberlove” sets the cyber-romantic tone, while “Canary” chirps warnings in velvet, “Cocktail Dress” struts sultry, and closers like “Love Potion” and the snowy ballad “첫눈이 오면 그때 거기서 만나 (Loving You!)” melt into wistful what-ifs. No collabs here—just CHUU owning every shade of obsession, from fizzy highs to quiet dives. Recorded amid her post-LOONA hustle, it’s her sharpest pivot yet, trading subunit sparkle for solo depth that feels like scrolling through a crush’s late-night stories.

She’s blooming right on time: the ex-LOONA darling who went indie in ’23 with Howl and Strawberry Rush EPs, now 26 and fearless, stacking YouTube views and festival slots while teasing this era on Bubble chats. XO, My Cyberlove lands her as K-pop’s next confessional queen, proving she can bottle butterflies and bitters in one go—timely for a world hooked on virtual sparks.
