Could It Be

YUQI's song 'Could It Be' is a lyrical exploration of the excitement and uncertainty that accompanies the early stages of a romantic relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of wonder and disbelief at the possibility of experiencing something as profound as love. YUQI, a member of the South Korean girl group (G)I-DLE, brings her unique vocal style to this solo endeavor, which is characterized by a blend of pop and electronic influences.

The song begins with an invitation to discard fear and shame, suggesting a liberation from past constraints and an openness to the present moment, likened to a daydream. The repeated question 'Could it be magic?' serves as the central theme, reflecting the awe and disbelief one might feel when faced with a connection that seems too good to be true. The magic in question is the transformative power of love, which is 'more than I could imagine,' indicating that the experience surpasses all expectations.

As the song progresses, YUQI expresses a vulnerability and a desire for reassurance. The lyrics 'I've been unsure of you 'cause I'm nervous' and 'Lookin', you'll find my heart under surface' reveal an inner turmoil and the fear of unrequited feelings. Yet, there's a hopeful undertone, with the singer sinking 'into the feeling' that the relationship could evolve into something much greater. The transformation is not just in the potential of the relationship but also within the singer herself, as she acknowledges, 'I am not who I was before.' The song ends with a sense of surrender to the inexplicable force of love, with the world continuing to turn and the singer's commitment to being 'all yours.'
