Girls' Generation's Taeyeon gets real about her latest album INVU and its eponymous title track
Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon third studio album INVU features 13 mind-blowing tracks, including the titular lead single. Although INVU is now the beloved title track of the album, the idol revealed that her label SM Entertainment was previously against releasing the song as part of the well-curated album.
In the interview, the global superstar explained that all her team members voted against INVU when they they were deciding which songs to include in the album. Taeyeon was the only one who voted in favor of releasing the song, so she had to convince everyone.

The Girls’ Generation leader had to find a way to convince her staff members that the song would be an excellent addition to the album. The K-pop idol also revealed that she acted while singing the song in order to unleash the potential of the song and persuade her production team.
It did not take her long to convince the staff members because she believed in herself and was confident about INVU being a successful addition to the album. The Weekend singer shared that it was easy to work on the album once everyone came to an agreement.

The title track ranked #1 on Gaon’s Digital Chart, and debuted at #8 on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales charts and at #138 on Billboard’s Excl. U.S. chart.

The music video also showcases different mystical sets with Taeyeon styled in various futuristic ensembles. The song INVU talks about a person who is hurt due to their partner’s repetitive mistakes but continues to give their all for the sake of love.
