On October 31st at 6pm, G-Dragon released his new digital single “POWER” on various music streaming platforms. “POWER” marks his first solo release in 7 years and 4 months since his mini-album “Kwon Ji-yong” in 2017.
“POWER” features a catchy beat complemented by G-Dragon’s signature intense rapping. The lyrics particularly stand out, direct and ambiguous. They appear to satirize the controversy surrounding the drug charges he faced last year. At that time, G-Dragon underwent a drug screening and tests on his hair, nails and other samples, all of which returned negative results, proving his innocence.
“Now I have the power, the power, the power, the power, the power
The power, the power, the power again, again
I’ll spread the word, shala shala, and then I’ll shout
Increase the power, I’m free, yes, yes
Don’t waste time, yes, it must be me
Prove them wrong, I have all the receipts
I have the power, the power, the power, the power
I’m beautiful because I’m myself, yes, yesThe kids say I’m important
Shut up those seeking attention in the comments
The second generation limited edition is the masterpiece of the century
(Like a dragonfly) A place to lie is an inventionHi-Hey-How are you doing? My name is (called)
G to D or ‘GOAT’ the living legend
King is still popping (star) ‘K’- again
I hear you have straight flush (whatever) “It’s always real.”I don’t give a shit, laugh about it, the “money” donated “one hundred” million
Abuse of power questioned, genius of tolerance, irresistible
Too strong, I have it”– POWER (G-Dragon)
Before the official release, G-Dragon unexpectedly debuted his new song “POWER” during a personal live broadcast on social media. He appeared in a recording booth-like space, displaying playful movements to match the song’s lyrics. Her expressive performance in the music video also highlights her ability to exude charm. It navigated various spaces, including newsrooms and television screens, establishing its presence. Furthermore, he demonstrated his impressive dancing skills alongside the dancers, raising expectations for his performance.
Previously, on October 30, G-Dragon posted a mysterious video on the official fan SNS that appeared to show the filming location.
The video began with a loading screen seen in previous teasers, then transitioned to a laptop screen filled with meaningful icons, creating a sense of tension. When he clicked a red button labeled “ON” on the laptop screen, a short piece of music played, capturing glimpses of what appeared to be the filmed set, heightening curiosity.
In particular, it was revealed that the song played by clicking on the icons is G-Dragon’s new track, teased in the “You Quiz on the Block” trailer, increasing anticipation for the countdown to his return. Fans reacted enthusiastically, posting comments like “Is it today?”, “It looks like the set of a music video” “My heart is beating fast” AND “I’ve been waiting for this day.”
Furthermore, G-Dragon had previously hinted at his imminent return by revealing the silhouette in the third teaser content. With “You Quiz on the Block” airing today, attention is focused on whether G-Dragon will mention the release of his new song and the timing of his return.
