In celebration of their fifth anniversary, Girls² has just unveiled the music video for “Yorimichi – Take it Easy Baby,” the lead track from their new EP of the same title, which released on October 30th. Known for their vibrant dance-pop sound, this release showcases a deeper, more mature side of Girls² as they bring listeners into a world of self-discovery, reflection, and hope for the future.
The group describes “Yorimichi – Take it Easy Baby” as a “message song” for their generation, offering a supportive hand to young people navigating life’s unpredictable twists and turns. Moving away from their typically bright and catchy tunes, Girls² opens up to reveal their own vulnerabilities through thoughtful lyrics, which resonate with fans in search of comfort and understanding. “Even if you stray from the path you were trying to take, or take a detour, in the end everything will work out. It’s okay,” the group assures through this heartwarming piece, adding to the song’s emotional depth.
The music video, filmed entirely in Aichi, takes a soft, relaxed approach that feels as comforting as the song’s message. The visuals follow the members as they explore new places, finding joy in small moments of “detour” that blossom into unforgettable experiences. The gentle choreography, crafted by the viral sensation Taiga, adds a warm energy to the video. Taiga’s direction brings life-sized, authentic expressions that only someone of the same generation as the Girls² members could portray, creating a natural connection between the performers and their fans.
Girls²’s EP also features three brand-new tracks, with contributions from an impressive roster of producers and writers, including Henrik Nordenback, Hiromi Uehara, TSKSOMD, and ViiiV. This powerful lineup of talent has come together to arrange, compose, and write songs that not only showcase Girls²’s vocal abilities but also capture the spirit of their journey and growth.
“Yorimichi – Take it Easy Baby” is Girls²’s 18th release and 11th EP, marking yet another milestone for this talented group, who continue to evolve with every song. With relatable themes, heartfelt lyrics, and a peaceful, immersive music video, Girls² has managed to deliver a song that truly speaks to today’s youth. This release not only strengthens their connection with their audience but also highlights their growth as artists after five incredible years in the industry.
