"Sparkling" is a song by South Korean singer Chungha. It was released on July 11, 2022, through MNH and 88rising as the title track from Chungha's second Korean-language studio album, Bare & Rare.
Composition and lyrics
"Sparkling" was written by Chungha and BXM, and composed by BXM and Prime Time. It runs for three minutes and six seconds. The lyrics "You make me sparkle, I'll be your sparkle" is like the relationship between Byulharang and Chungha, shining on each other. This fetching piece features sound like a refreshing soda pop, with its identity of hyper-vibe on top of a fast BPM around 160. Like the first sip of an ice cold drink on a hot summer day, the song expresses the clear and cool feeling of a cold and tangy pop. The fast mood could easily seem as light but by capturing the fast mood with Chungha's strong voice, this cool and sparkle track was completed. The arpeggio of the analog synthesizer achieves harmony with the retro but trendy drumline, and by adding in the electric guitar, the chorus also realizes a tough but witty rich sound. And Chungh's chameleonic changes in emotions corresponding with the lyrics can be a key point of this song.
