#3RD_DESIRE_Reve: Kim Wooseok Dishes About Songs in Third EP
During the media showcase, Kim Wooseok spoke about each song in his third EP. The first song, "Ghostin'," has a strong guitar and bass sound with a somewhat bleak but macho vibe. The chorus features a sentimental Latin melody line. The string's staccato technique adds a simple yet attractive aura to the song.
The song is an extension to his previous song, "NEXT," which was featured in "2ND DESIRE (TASTY)."

The next song is "Switch." This is the album's title song and tells the story of a dreamer standing on the border of dream and reality. It is a pop-dance song with a unique melody on top of a bass line and rhymical guitar. The mirror-like sentiment through the song is refreshing and perfectly tells the tale of a dreamer standing on the border of dream and reality. The various changes in each section give the illusion of swimming in the dream.
This story is told thanks to Kim Wooseok's delicate way of expression. The song was co-composed and co-written by Kim Wooseok himself. His favorite part is the pre-chorus, so make sure to watch out for that!
The third song featured is "What More Can I Do?" The song has a dreamlike, warm vibe. Listeners can relax with the unique synthesizer sound. Lyrically, the song is about letting one's partner know how they have become one's breath and how much they want to be their lover.
