"You're So Fine" (이렇게 예뻤나, Ireoke Yeppeonna) is a song by South Korean pop rock band CNBLUE. It is the lead single to the band's sixth mini-album Blueming and was released on April 4, 2016.

Composition

"You're So Fine" is an "upbeat" pop rock track.[1] The song was written and composed by vocalist Jung Yong-hwa, and is composed in the key of A♭ major using common time with a tempo of 118 beats per minute.[2][3] Jung began working on the song while conceiving "Cinderella"; the song lyrics were written in 2016.[4] In crafting the lyrics, Jung paid special attention to detail in order to capture "the warm feeling of brass" in order to portray his personality.[5] He was inspired by the title of a news article which read "Was she this pretty?" to write the song. He felt that it "sounded very nice" when he sang the phrase, which emitted a "warm feeling".[6]

Release and promotion

"You're So Fine" was simultaneously released alongside Blueming on April 4, 2016.[7] CNBLUE began promoting the song on three days later on Mnet's music chart show M Countdown,[8] followed by subsequent comeback performances on Korean Broadcasting System's (KBS) Music Bank,[9] Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation's (MBC) Show! Music Core,[10] Seoul Broadcasting System's (SBS) Inkigayo,[11] SBS MTV's The Show,[12] and MBC Music's Show Champion.[13] On April 12, "You're So Fine" earned its first music show win on The Show.[12] It was followed by back-to-back wins on Show Champion, M Countdown, and Music Bank on the subsequent days.[13][14][15] It went on to earn second consecutive wins on both The Show and Music Bank, earning a total of six music show wins.[16][17]

Music video

Two music video teasers were released on March 31 and April 3, respectively.[18][19] The full music video was released on the following day.[1] Produced by Surplus X Production and directed by Lee HJ, it stars CNBLUE and actress Jung Hye-sung.[1][2]

Critical reception

Writing for Fuse, columnist Jeff Benjamin compared CNBLUE's musical expansion to that of American band Maroon 5. Describing "You're So Fine" as a "disco-tinged" song, he noted that the band integrates "feel-good brass and horns" in which Jung's vocals "fits... like a glove". Benjamin pointed out at the "soulful sound" was already present in K-pop, but expressed that "CNBLUE finds a way to make it sound fresh compared to its contemporaries". He also highlighted similarities with "Hold My Hand" from the band's previous album 2gether (2015).[20] Critic Kim Ji-ha of TV Daily expressed surprise that CNBLUE returned "with a sweet" song.[21]

Commercial performance

"You're So Fine" debuted at number 19 on the Gaon Digital Chart,[22] selling 101,215 downloads and accumulating 1,553,112 streams in its first week.[23][24] By the end of April, the song sold 200,056 downloads and accumulated 4,781,408 streams.[25][26]
