(G)I-DLE's fourth mini album, *I burn*, marks the continuation of their "I" series with a powerful exploration of emotions following a breakup. This album follows the success of their previous hits "Oh my god" and "DUMDi DUMDi," shifting to a more somber and introspective mood. The album is built around the idea that a breakup isn't truly over until all memories are forgotten, and it delves into the process of healing and regaining happiness. Through its visuals and storytelling, *I burn* portrays a journey from the pain and emptiness of separation to the eventual blooming of new hope, symbolized by a red flower that emerges from the wounds.
The tracks on *I burn* each contribute to this narrative, starting with "Han(寒)" which expresses the coldness and loneliness of betrayal and separation. The title track "Hwa (Fire Flower)" uses oriental instruments and an addictive hook to convey the icy feelings of a breakup, likening the heart to a fire that melts winter away, allowing flowers to bloom. Other tracks like "MOON," "Where is love," and "LOST" explore different aspects of love, loss, and emotional recovery, while "DAHLIA" contrasts the beauty and instability of love, reflecting the album's themes of complex, conflicting emotions. Together, these songs showcase (G)I-DLE's unique ability to blend storytelling, musicality, and visual artistry into a cohesive and emotionally resonant work.
