[Sneakers by ITZY]

The party ain't started I haven't started either

These days, I have one thing on my mind

It doesn't matter, call me trouble

Or you can call me weirdo, I want to live as me

With the tip of my chin raised

That's the attitude I have, it's all I need

Put my sneakers on

One, two, ready, get set, go

Put my sneakers on

Put my sneakers on

One, two, ready, get set, go

Let's go fast, yeah, yeah

.

(Clap)

Bella: Find the Melody with Bella that provides the best satisfaction with the best live. Today LIA from ITZY visited here. Nice to meet you!

Lia: Hello, hello

Bella: Nice to meet you. The song you just sang, is it the new song by ITZY?

Lia: Yeah it is

Bella: Could you briefly explain what kind of song it is?

Lia: It's a long time we did summer come back and... It's called Sneakers and it's a song that conveys a message. Let's freely go anywhere with comfortable shoes on. Don't limit ourselves to others' attention and our own limits. And freely go anywhere we want to.

Bella: You previously mentioned in your SNS that you watched this program. Which episode did you watch?

Lia: To be honest, I am a passionate viewer. Is it correct to say, passionate viewer?

Bella: You are a passionate viewer?

Lia: Yeah. Although I like to use my phone, there is nothing much on YouTube. I don't watch Mukbang so... However, after this program was created, there are a lot of things for me to watch

Bella: That's why you wanted to come out to this show?

Lia: Yeah. I enjoyed watching MINNIE's episode

Bella: Yeah episode 1

Lia: Since then I never skipped watching this program

Bella: I am not sure, but since you mentioned, when this program was first created, I was talking with the producer and she showed me your videos. She showed me you singing Price tag in Yoo Heeyeol's sketchbook. She said let's make a program where we invite idols to listen to their music. And talk about vocal and music. That's how I am sitting here right now.

Lia: Oh really?

Bella: So actually you are the mother of this program

(Laugh)

Lia: What? That's...

Bella: Was it too much?

Lia: You are saying it to make me feel good

Bella: What do you want then? You need to choose. President?

Lia: That's good

Bella: President of Find the Melody

Lia: Is there any benefit?

Bella: Sorry to say, but there is none. You just need to upload on your Instagram when a new guest comes

Lia: Okay. I'll promote it well

(Laugh)

Bella: It's time to listen to your live. Which song did you prepare?

Lia: I prepared a song called Tango

Bella: Oh? It takes two to tango

Lia: Yeah that's right

Bella: I really like that song

Lia: Oh really? that's good

Bella: President's... eh

(Laugh)

Bella: We will listen to LIA's Tango now.

[Tango by Abir, cover by LIA]

You think I can't handle dancing on my own

It takes two to tango but only one to let go

I'm sorry I can't answer I'm busy dancing on my own

It takes two to tango but only one to let go

I let you say your piece and toss a key so you can leave

I'm laying on the comfy sheets

Playing these games

Had to look through all the process praying for some different problems

I know it's not that deep but all I can say is

I'm doing fine thought you should know

Stretching my legs without you

I'm doing fine thought you should know I'm alright

You think I can't handle dancing on my own

It takes two to tango but only one to let go

I'm sorry I can't answer I'm busy dancing on my own

It takes two to tango but only one to let go

I cursed you out you pissed me off

Threw a kiss, I bit you off

And no I won't pick up your calls I'm busy today

How this shit just got so toxic

Don't think I took out no actions

I know that it's not that deep

But all I can say is I'm doing fine

Thought you should know

Stretching my legs without you

I'm doing fine thought you should know I'm alright

You think I can't handle dancing on my own

It takes two to tango but only one to let go

I'm sorry I can't answer I'm busy dancing on my own

It takes two to tango but only one to let go

Running low on fuel running low on juice

I been taking L's from left to right to middle

Oh, how did just get so toxic

Running low on fuel running low on juice

I been taking L's from left to right to middle

Don't think I ain't got no options

You think I can't handle dancing on my own

It takes two to tango but only one to let go

.

(Clap)

Bella: It's very nice

Lia: Thank you

Bella: So you used to live in an English-speaking country before right?

Lia: Just for a while

Bella: How long?

Lia: 3 years

Bella: That's expressive. I was able to notice it

Lia: Oh really?

(Laugh)

Bella: Those people have a certain vibe. I had a strong feeling that you were on the rhythm through diction. You know what I mean right?

Lia: Yeah

(Laugh)

Bella: Although you take the groove in the end, you take the beat in the front. People who lived in an English-speaking country are good in that is like a bible for the girls who aim to go to the College of Music. So I listened to it until my eardrum became painful

Lia: Oh really? I'm sorry, it could have been boring for you

Bella: No no no no. It was the best song sang by a Korean for me

(Laugh)

Lia: Thank you

Bella: A real groove that I haven't listened in ages

Lia: Thank you

Bella: You have a great pronunciation, which made me ask if you lived overseas. Are there any differences between singing an English song and a Korean song for you?

Lia: There is a lot of difference

Bella: Oh really? In which aspect?

Lia: For Korean songs, my singing quality really depends on the song. For some songs, I sang it so bad that I can't listen to myself

Bella; Oh, really?

Lia: Yeah. While there are some songs that are pretty good. I am not really sure why as I don't have much knowledge of the theoretical aspect. From what I feel, I realized that when I sing a Korean song I don't tend to use the back part, I also have a habit of doing lay back with the Korean song. As I always try to roll my tongue when pronouncing, I can't speak fast

Bella: I think that's a well adjust for pop songs. Those people who can make smooth diction have problems with the Korean songs.

.

Bella: From what I hear, before your debut... You got accepted to all big companies' auditions at once?

Lia: It's weird to say all at once but...

Bella: Then twice?

(Laugh)

Lia: Anyways, yeah somewhat it's true

Bella: Which song did you sing during the audition?

Lia: Boa sunbaenim's Number 1

Bella: Ah. You still my...

Lia: That's right. And Yoon Mirae sunbaenim's After Time Passes. And Bruno Mars' Grenade

Bella: Ah, okay, okay. 3 songs? Which one do you want to sing first?

(Laugh)

.

[Grenade by Bruno Mars, cover by LIA]

Easy come, easy go, that's just how you live, oh

Take, take, take it all, but you never give

Should have known you was trouble from the first kiss

Had your eyes wide open

Why were they open?

Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash

You tossed it in the trash, you did

To give me all your love is all I ever ask

'Cause what you don't understand is

I'd catch a grenade for ya

Throw my hand on a blade for ya

I'd jump in front of a train for ya

You know I'd do anything for ya

Oh, oh, I would go through all this pain

.

Lia; I'll do it until here

(Clap)

Bella: Continuing this vibe, it's time to listen to the 2nd live. Which song did you prepare?

Lia: It's Pass By by Lee Hi sunbaenim

Bella: Isn't that an emotional ballad? I'm looking forward to it. It's even in Korean, right?

Lia: Yeah

Bella: Pass By by Lee Hi. Lia's 2nd service

.

[Pass By by Lee Hi, cover by LIA]

The shaking sound of the wind

Shakes up my heart and passes by

Even though I've have hurt all I could

How much more do I have to hurt

In order to be just fine?

As if it's nothing you just pass me by

Even after time and seasons pass

My heart keeps getting colder

But I can't become cold by myself

Again today, you are passing by

As if it's nothing

You just pass me by

Even after time and seasons pass

My heart keeps getting colder

But I can't become cold by myself

Again today, you are

I don't even know my own heart

So I gave you a hard time

So I'm just sorry, I'm just thankful

If you leave me, I can't ever see you again

But I'll be missing you

As if it's nothing

You just pass me by

Since you and I changed

My tears don't stop

We still don't know each other

Again today, you are passing by

.

(Clap)

Lia: Thank you

Bella: You are good with emotional ballads too. Even if you don't have a groove, your style remains there. It was very too to hear

Lia: Thank you

Bella: Moving on to listening. Is it true that your hobby is listening to music?

Lia: Yeah. The music itself is a great consolation for me. That's why I love music so much. It's a bit embarrassing but I often feel that I am eccentric when listening to the music

Bella: Why?

Lia: Since when I am young when I was scolded by my parents. I listened to the music and it felt like I am the main character in a music video. And I cry more.

(Laugh)

Lia: It consolidates me when the lyrics match my situation

Bella: You are an artist. When you feel an emotion, you use music to amplify that emotion

Lia: Yeah a bit

(Laugh)

Bella: You can even imagine in your mind as if you are in the music video. You are really an artist. What kind of song do you often listen to?

Lia: I love listening to all types of music. Hip-hop, full rap songs, jazz, and sometimes emotional ballads which I am weak at. I love listening to all types of music. Through music platforms like SoundCloud or YouTube, I get to hear songs sung by people other than the original singer. Personally, it feels good when I find a song that's not well-known

Bella: Although you like to find unknown songs, you chose a famous song for a duet. It felt like I met an old friend in a long time. Which song did you choose?

Lia: I chose Falling Slowly which is the OST of the movie Once

Bella: Why did you choose this song?

Lia: There were a lot of songs to choose from but this seemed best for us to sing. Also, this is a well-known song. So I hoped a lot of people notice it and like it

Bella: It was nice for me to listen to this in a long time too. Since the president came, I'll use the guitar today

Lia: That's very good

[Bella]

I don't know you but I want you

All the more for that

[Both]

Words fall through me and always fool me

And I can't react

[Bella]

And games that never amount

To more than they're meant

Will play themselves out

[Both]

Take this sinking boat and point it home

We've still got time

Raise your hopeful voice you had the choice

You've made it now

[Lia]

Falling slowly eyes that know me

And I can't go back

[Both]

And moods that take me and erase me

And I'm painted black

[Lia]

You have suffered enough and warred with yourself

It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home

We've still got time

[Both]

Raise your hopeful voice you had the choice

You've made it now

Falling slowly sing your melody

I'll sing it loud

[Lia]

I'll sing it loud

[Bella]

Sing it loud

[Both]

I don't know you but I want you

All the more for that

.

(Clap)

Bella: To be honest, we know each other for long time but we didn't have a chance to get close.

Lia: That's right.

Bella: Let's go grab a foods sometimes.

Lia: Call, since you the one who asked, you pay for the food. Thank you in advance.

(Laugh)
