While he wasn’t the leader of Phantom, group member Hanhae has struck out on his own less than a year after the group’s first full length album was released. While it is definitely a ballsy move, the first single is proving to be something completely different than expected. A little more grown-up in production and sound, this song (which is some pretty good game in any language) is showing a different side of the rapper/singer.

Lyrics:
Even if you’re looking at someone else
I look into your eyes even more
Other guys only know your body
But I’ll be the man of the year for you, yeah
Instead of talking about myself
I like hearing about you more
Your decibel comes perfectly into my ears
It’s already been two hours, do you know what time it is?
It’s 2 o’clock (2 o’clock)
I’m curious about everything in your life (about your everything)
How you lived
What kind of different thoughts we have
Our conversation never runs dry
From one to ten, I want to know everything about you without leaving anything out
I want to be nominated at your award show
Because of you alone, I thought so much
I need to put my year in your hands
Then I will for sure receive a trophy
Just watch over this year
No before you do, look around you
There are no melodies that fit your worth
Besides me, it’s all a disharmony
I’ll lay it out for you, red carpet
Let’s walk, just us two
If you wanna fly, I’ll be your wings
Even if you’re looking at someone else
I look into your eyes even more
Other guys only know your body
I’m the man of the year for you, yeah
focus on me baby
focus on me yeah
focus on me baby
focus on me yeah
You already have me anyway
Why you wanna be solo
I’ll be the man of the year of you
I asked you what your dream was (what you wanted)
To see if I could fulfill that dream for you
I want to share your happiness
I don’t want to just continue to meet you
I want to be part of your life
I only have you and I am in you
Maybe you didn’t feel it, that I was here
I’ve taken my place
Waiting for your reaction
And I’ll gift you this song
Let’s hold hands and walk even higher
Yes, with me, yeah
Even if you’re looking at someone else
I look into your eyes even more
Other guys only know your body
I’m the man of the year for you, yeah
focus on me baby
focus on me yeah
focus on me baby
focus on me yeah
You already have me anyway
Why you wanna be solo
I’ll be the man of the year of you
I’ll lay it out for you, red carpet
So that those uselessly serious guys won’t take you away
I’ll be the man of the year for you
I’ll be the man of the year for all years
There’s only one thing I want from you
I only need you, nothing more
It has already started, I’ll be responsible for your year
You know, I’ll be that man
Even if you’re looking at someone else
I look into your eyes even more
Other guys only know your body
I’m the man of the year for you, yeah
focus on me baby
focus on me yeah
focus on me baby
focus on me yeah
You already have me anyway
Why you wanna be solo
I’ll be the man of the year of you


Ooooh yeah. His sound needed to be showcased all by its lonesome. Woahhh.
Are you a Phantom fan? I could never really get into them.
Me neither. Never could get into them and couldn’t figure out why…
