I imagine many people like his voice.

It’s very beautiful and warm, isn’t it? Just like the word “Girlfriend” in the song’s title, it’s a track you can enjoy in different ways—listening at home with your partner, during a workout, and so on.

The lyrics are written from a male perspective, sprinkled with sweet lines like “Won’t you be my girlfriend?”, but I think it would still feel natural and create a nice vibe even if you switch it to a female perspective.

I’m also curious about his uptempo songs.
