IU changes new song title to ‘Love wins all’ “I hope for a world without hate” [Official]
Singer IU changed the title of her new song from ‘Love wins’ to ‘Love wins all.’
IU has been carrying out a promotional schedule ahead of the release of her new album’s pre-released song ‘Love wins’ on the 24th. However, some sexual minorities took a negative view of the expression, claiming that it is a phrase that has been used as a slogan by sexual minorities for several years.
Accordingly, IU’s side announced an official statement on the 19th and explained, “We accept the concerns that the title of this song will obscure the important message, and we want to further respect and support everyone who lives and loves in various ways.”
They said, “If there is a word that is most opposed to the message contained in the song to be released, it would be ‘hatred.’” This was also mentioned in detail in the track intro released on the 18th. “I sincerely hope that all love will win in a world without hate, and that the meaning of this song will be conveyed without hurting anyone,” he said. “Starting today, we will continue teasing and promotion with the changed title.”
IU’s ‘Love wins all’ will be released on major online music sites at 6pm on the 24th. The song is raising expectations as a ballad with a definite momentum, starting with a minimal and vintage piano intro and ending with a maximalist outro.
