What Is the New Song About?
“What’s a girl to do” is a song that honestly unravels the complex feelings and thoughts you feel when you come to like someone. Dayoung’s rich vocals capture actions and concerns that everyone may have experienced in front of love at least once, and danceable beats and addictive melodies add cheerfulness.
In particular, the choreography — which seems to involve holding the hood and stomping hard — is expected to maximize Dayoung’s unique energetic mood by adding a trendy sense while raising the energy of the song. Starnews Korea
Relatable lyrics + addictive beats + a banger choreography? Dayoung is not playing games this time.
Why “Body” Proved Dayoung Is the Real Deal
Her previous title track “Body” peaked at #9 on Melon’s TOP 100, accumulated over 10 million streams, earned her music show wins, and the “Best Solo Artist (Female)” award at the 2025 Korea Grand Music Awards. “Body” also gained international attention, appearing on NME, Billboard, and The Hollywood Reporter’s “Best K-pop of 2025” lists, with Teen Vogue naming the music video one of the year’s best.
That’s a debut that set the bar sky-high — and “What’s a girl to do” is clearly built to clear it.
According to Wikipedia’s entry on WJSN, Dayoung has been a member since the group’s debut in 2016, also starring in sub-units like WJSN Chocome — making her solo success an especially proud milestone for long-time fans.
