After a performance hiatus that lasted more than a year, Girls’ Generation came back to stage with a new song on January 1st.
The group’s video, for “I Got a Boy,” got more than 30 million views in its first half-month. That is a faster starting rate than PSY’s record-breaking “Gangnam Style.” According to an article in Time Magazine, Girls’ Generation is poised to become famous in America.
The nine members of Girls’ Generation made their singing debut in 2007 and have been one of the best-selling K-pop groups since. Yet “I Got a Boy” is musically different than their last single, “The Boys,” which was released in 2011. “I Got a Boy” is full of tempo and rhythm changes, which is a new approach for Girls’ Generation.
It’s up to the fans to decide whether the song is a success or a failure.
