Red Velvet’s Irene returns with her first full album, titled ‘Biggest Fan’. This song, like those of the last few days, carries a powerful message: Love Yourself! Embrace your life honestly and without regrets. The song features an irresistible, groovy bass line that propels the rhythm and drives the song forward. The arrangements are otherwise quite simple, focusing on Irene’s voice and adlibs, accompanied by minimal drums and other instruments to keep the bass line bouncing.
