Nina drops second mini album 'Why Not Me?' on August 30
Nina's second mini album arrives August 30 with six tracks led by 'Why', produced by Kim Do-hoon and Lee Hyun-seung.
와이 낫 미? (Why Not Me?) drops August 30.
Six tracks. The title track 와이 (Why) opens into 섀도우 복싱 (Shadow Boxing), 큐티 (Cutie), 마마파파 (Mama Papa), 텔 미 웨어 아 위 (Tell Me Where Are We), and 해줘 (Do It). All sung in Korean. Contemporary R&B runs through the album, but the tracklist branches into hip-hop, pop, swing EDM, alternative pop, and ballad. Kim Do-hoon and Lee Hyun-seung led production with domestic and international producers; Nina co-wrote 텔 미 웨어 아 위.
Thematically it traces an emotional arc—new love, then anxiety, hurt, regret, breakup, and finally self-love. A self-discovery narrative told across genres. Bigger swing than her debut suggested.
Nina debuted in June last year with 네버 어프레이드 (Never Afraid) and title track 프리즈! (Freeze!). The debut's b-side 원 스팟 crossed 1 million streams on Chinese music platforms and held the top spot on QQ Music's Korea chart for three consecutive weeks. Her first Chinese-language single, 메이메이선데이, dropped in August last year and racked up over 390 million plays on Douyin.
와이 낫 미? is out August 30.
