Baby DONT Cry – ‘Bittersweet’ MV

Baby DONT Cry, P NATION’s first girl group led by PSY.

The group name reflects a concept of cute on the outside and strong on the inside.

This is the title track of their 1st mini album, “AFTER CRY.” Within its bright, breezy sound, it weaves in the mixed feelings of sweetness and bittersweetness that arise when looking back on the past, expressing memories of youth, the pain of loss, and the sense of moving forward by drawing strength from them.

Crafted by a powerhouse team—lyricist Kim Eana, one of Korea’s finest, and producer Ryan Jhun, known for hits including those for IVE—the song is a highly polished pop-dance track.

It’s also compelling as a self-reflective piece that overlaps with the members’ own experiences, such as the hardships of their trainee days and the loneliness of living abroad.

It’s a song we hope everyone who is overcoming past experiences to live in the present will listen to.
