Lalala
The title song Lalala is a song full of happiness in the country style, and it was a new style of song for SG Wannabe.

The first music video is pre-qualified with the “black” music video, so it has a dark horror atmosphere, unlike a happy song. The second music video was filmed again due to the excitement in public opinion. This song tells the story of a male protagonist having a woman he loves, but his parents are against it. The mother of a poor man locked a woman in a cellar, and on a day of heavy rain, the basement was submerged in water and the woman sank. Years later, a man has a new woman, and the new woman goes to greet her parents.
