Review - IZ*ONE's Secret Story of The Swan

by - June 17, 2020

Recently, IZ*ONE came back with their song 'Secret Story of The Swan', and even though I am not a hardcore stan (I casually listen to their songs) I had to write a review on this song. Make sure to stay tuned for the YouTube video of this post to come out.


Okay, now without further ado, let's get into the review.

The Song

So, what is my opinion on the song? Well, one thing that I can definitely say is that with the title of the song being 'Secret Story of The Swan', I was expecting something light and upbeat, maybe something like La vie en rose, but that was not what I got. When I tell you the start of this song scared me, it SCARED me. The BGM of the intro and the chorus gives me a very Trap vibe to it if that makes any sense whatsoever, but it transitions into a more chill beat during the verses which a quite like. The vocals and rap in this song are also very good and the song is very catchy. Since the song literally just came out, I don't know if I will get bored of this song, or still love it over time, but at the moment, I quite like the song.

So overall, IZ*ONE's comeback song definitely did not disappoint and I really like it.

The Choreography

Next up is the choreo for this song. So, this choreography is not one of my favourites, but it is definitely a good choreography. There are definitely parts of this choreography that are more exciting than others, and It isn't the most extreme choreography ever by the looks of things but IZ*ONE pull it off. My absolute favourite part of this choreography is the dance break, to me that's the most exciting part of the choreography, tell me what you guys think below.

So overall, this is a good choreography, but not one of my favourites.

The Music Video


Okay, so now for the music video, but first of all, if you haven't already watched the MV, make sure to watch it above.

So, what did I think about the Music Video? Well, in my opinion, the music video is great. The main colour focus seemed to be a pastel pink colour which I love. And the music video also showcased the visuals of IZ*ONE as well, because they were literally glowing in this music video. This MV also occasionally showed the choreography, which is good, as the music video had a good balance between the visuals and the choreography. I think the most memorable part of this music video to me would be one of Eunbi's verses, and let me tell you, she looked stunning! Also, another part of the MV that I love is the dance break section. I just love the dance breaks, and Chaeyeon slayed — as per usual.

So overall, my thoughts on this music video are that it is really beautiful and I love the theme.

Who Owned This Song?

So, as said before, I only casually listen to IZ*ONE's music and I'm not a hardcore stan, and because of this, I don't think I know the group well enough to see if anyone improved since the last comeback, if anyone shined more, etc. So, although this hasn't been done before, I'll leave it up to my viewers to decide who owned this song!

I will try my best to attach a poll below so that we can all vote on who owned this song together.

Overall Rating

So, what is my overall rating of this song? Well, I believe this is a solid comeback, The song, choreography and music video were great — it's only been out for a day so far and it's stuck in my head — therefore, I give it a 7-8 out of 10. Tell me what you guys think in the comments below.

So that brings me to the end of my review, I hope you enjoyed, and make sure to stay tuned on my channel for the YouTube version of this post. (The YouTube Video is Out!) With that being said,

Stay safe,

Ciao xx
