This is the debut single from the highly anticipated rookie group, Craze Angel.

Dubbed a “hexagonal all-rounder girls’ group,” their track ‘I’m Just Me’ is a powerful self-affirmation anthem that boldly declares, “I’ll live true to myself,” undistracted by others’ gazes.

Crafted by a veteran composer, its Y2K sound feels nostalgic yet fresh, and utterly addictive.

The lyrics seem to speak gently yet firmly to anyone who feels they’re losing themselves in a constricting society: “Whoever you are, you are still you.” The group’s duality—‘crazy’ and ‘angel,’ the origin of their name—overlaps with the message of embracing your whole self, giving listeners a gentle push forward, don’t you think?
