Singles

[edit | edit source]

"Love is Move" is an uptempo song, composed in a contemporary pop style.[6] Its lyrics tells of a falling relationship in a woman's perspective on how the protagonists incessantly warns her lover that she shouldn't be taken for granted because her feelings towards him might change instantly. The song incorporates various instruments, including horns, electric guitar, bass effect, synthesizers and heavy drum instrumentation.[7] The song layers background vocals throughout the chorus and sections of the bridge.[7] "Love is Move" is a retro-inspired song that draws its influences from the 1930s swing music. Kang Ji Won and Kim Ki Bum both produced, wrote the song's lyrics and melody, while Kang Ji Won arranged the track.[8] According to Catherine Deen from Yahoo! Philippines, "Love is Move" promises to be an updated pop-rock dance-floor romp for Secret unlike [their] previous hits [such as] "Madonna" and "Magic".[7]

The concept of the music video for "Love is Move" was inspired by 1930s cartoon character Betty Boop. TS Entertainment said in a press release, "The Betty Boop character is still an icon to many women because of her ability to speak her mind while still maintaining her feminine charisma. The idea behind Betty Boop seemed to match the haughty and confident image that Secret is trying to express for this concept."[9]
