Watermelon Sugar
HWASA
Savoring the Sweetness of Summer Love
The song "Watermelon Sugar" by Hwa Sa, a cover of the original by Harry Styles, is a vibrant and sensual ode to the joys of summer and the sweetness of love. The lyrics evoke the taste of strawberries and the feeling of a warm summer evening, which are used as metaphors for the intoxicating experience of being in love. The repeated phrase 'watermelon sugar high' suggests a state of bliss and euphoria that comes from this romantic connection, likening it to the natural high one gets from savoring delicious, ripe fruit on a perfect summer day.
The song's chorus, with its simple yet catchy repetition of 'watermelon sugar high,' emphasizes the intensity and addictiveness of the feelings involved. The desire to 'taste' this experience over and over again highlights the sensory nature of the love being described, where every moment is savored, and every memory is as vivid and sweet as the taste of watermelon sugar. The use of summer imagery and the reference to the end of June create a sense of time and place that is both fleeting and unforgettable, much like a passionate summer romance.
Hwa Sa's interpretation of the song adds her unique flair to the already playful and carefree spirit of the original. Her vocal delivery and the musical arrangement contribute to the overall mood of the song, which is light-hearted yet deeply felt. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the heady rush of new love, especially the kind that feels like an endless summer.
