Xikers share 'JUST FOR FUN' behind-the-scenes: 'We want to have fun'
Xikers members Song Min-jae, SUMIN, and YECHAN reveal the creative process behind 'JUST FOR FUN,' prioritizing fun vibes over trends.
A behind-the-scenes video capturing the production of 'JUST FOR FUN,' a track featuring Xikers members Song Min-jae, SUMIN, and YECHAN, has been released. The footage documents the entire creative journey, from establishing the song's theme to track production and the final recording sessions.
'Fun Over Trends': The Birth of 'JUST FOR FUN'
In the video, the members discuss the creative direction for 'JUST FOR FUN.' While their previous release, 'DELULU,' was built around a clear keyword and a central thematic sound, this new track aims for a "vibe where you can just play around without thinking too much" rather than a heavy message. Describing the song's lighthearted atmosphere, the members noted, "We actually made this while just messing around quite a bit."
The members also shared their thoughts on stage performances. They expressed that while previous performances felt like they were "putting their lives on the line," they want to use this song to create a stage where they can "truly just have fun." This direction heavily influenced the song's concept and styling. The video shows the members proposing a witty, slightly disheveled aesthetic—such as fastening only one button or wearing pants low—set against the mood of a room with soft lighting.
From Track Development to Listening Parties
The production began with rough sketches. The members reviewed a track of approximately 3 minutes, discussing the direction by saying, "If this looks manageable, we will develop it using this." This was followed by a 'listening party' to gather collective feedback, with the members noting that their level of participation was higher than in previous projects.
The video also captures actual recording sessions. While recording the intro rap and guide vocals, the members meticulously checked the rhythm and melody to refine the song's quality. During the process, they were also seen sharing the struggles of the session, admitting, "We pushed our voices so hard during recording."
