[@jesse_damiklover6500]

"Maria" is Hwasa's Religious Name. She is using Maria to talk to herself since technically that is her name as well. A few ways she shows this Other person(Maria). She only ever has 2 different hair colors. Red and Black. When her hair is Black, she is Hwasa. When its Red, she isnt Hwasa. Shes "Maria"- Her Alterego. Another way she shows it is during the break dance when the songs shows a Latin flow her hair is Red and then changes to Black at the last second. I think this is to show how different Maria and Hwasa are from eachother while also be the same person. Lastly, right before the Bridge we see Heasa starring into a red pool with a warped and reversed reflection starring back at her. And if you notice whenever her hair is black she's either locked up(stray jacket) or shows death(Nude outfut in morge or her "funeral") and When her hair is red she seems free without restrains. Throughout the video and song the Alterego(Maria) and Hwasa seem to fight for control. And at the end we see Hwasa's hair is black when the rest of Mamamoo show up. Whoch in my opinion shows that Hwasa will always be in control as long as she has those girls with her.

[@missbradicah]

It's her Baptismal name to be accurate.

[@thezokil]

Few notes that are pretty obvious but -At Her death, you see many reporters clamoring to get photos of her body, but at her funeral, all the seats are empty with unopened invitations on them. -Next we see Hwasa being torn apart and consumed by the people at the table. (represented by her organs, fashion, CDs, and jewelry) notice how they are disgusted by the parts of her. -Then you have Hwasa in a milky white pool, probably representing beauty and purity. -At the dinner table, the same people who consumed her, now have their faces covered, and on their plates are pieces of keyboards, alluding to anonymous hate online -You see Hwasa in a straight jacket hooked up to monitors, obviously her physical and mental health deteriorating as dozens of pencils point at her as she breaks down -She finally dawn a crown a nails (final nail in the coffin perhaps?) before taking scissors to her wrist, turning the pure white pool a deep red. "Maria Maria These are words for you It’s a shining night Don’t bother me Oh Maria they’re words for you Why are you struggling You’re already beautiful..." It ends with Hwasa in deep thought before her members arrive with presents and smiles. Maria=Hwasa, she is singing to herself.

[@kikasmomwashere]

it looked like a milk bath and i thought a lot of people would use it to whiten their skin. and because her skin is not to Korean beauty standards, i thought Hwasa was using it ironically

[@thisbethor]

Also important to note for the last scene: She's in the same chair where a few scenes earlier she was caressing a pair of scissors, which probably is symbol for suicidal tendencies. Possible meaning: Her mamamoo fam helps her through the darkest times.

[@seungzxt8893]

so it’s kinda like suicide but since her member are there, it help her overcome dark times?

[@KuuraHopeakorpi]

Also the lyrics have references to eating the hate and it giving her indigestion, the nude top shows her stomach rolls, you are already beautiful etc, so i think a lot of it is about the fatphobic hate she has received due to her body type and now she can tell those people to shut up because she doesn't give a fuck anymore

[@Kimiitoisreal]

Also, the pencil represents the hate comments.

[@solarblues98]

Hwasa was in charge of the storyline for the MV and she said in the MV Making that the last scene is rewinding back to the time before María's death and how things would have ended differently if she wasn't alone, that's why she invited the members for that last scene. And also FYI, María is her baptismal name, and this whole song especially in the chorus is like a message towards herself. Thanks for the wonderful reaction! PS: People seem to be freaking out about my comment being posted 5 days ago so I just wanna say that PD posts earlier in Patreon and I'm a Patron so yeah 😂

[@niconiconick]

Thats the first time I see someone use "baptismal name" instead of "christian" or "english name".

[@solarblues98]

@@niconiconick I just feel like that's the most accurate way to put it 😅

[@thezokil]

Another thing is, when you look at the latin dance break, it feels really out of place, until you think of it as Maria finding peace in death, represented by the upbeat music, her beautiful red dress, and all her dancers are now in black.

[@charred6683]

@@thezokil I see that part more like a brief moment of stage time where she performs as Hwasa before going back to real life as Maria (or Hyejin) which is represented by the abrupt end to that dance break and right into a sadder tone of the song. Considering the song is a dialogue between Hwasa and Maria being 2 personas of her life.

[@bhoomikas4654]

I think she was imagining all that in her head. She was hurt by the hate but wanted to fight back also sometimes considering to kill herself. So when the girls come in the end of the video, that helped her snap out of her imagination and she was telling that there are ppl who love her for just how she is.

[@Backtoalonica]

Yes like she was about to give up her life but at that moment they arrived and saved her just by showing that they care. It’s really beautiful like they don’t even notice that that are actually saving her life 🥺

[@raizakm4898]

The thing about Hwasa, Chungha and Sunmi is that their music videos have Character oozing out of it, and their own colour. It's not any Cutesy persona v/s girl crush war. It's just plain celebration of Womanhood. As a woman, I don't need anything more from them to empower me

[@witchanjo]

[@mayuhmetal]

[@user-kf6zp4hx2d]

100000000%

[@ryzalchung8976]

The song is about her story, the pencils are the hate comments she received. But in the end of the day her besties will always be there and cheers for her. That's just my interpretation of the song and MV...

[@maricl5859]

Hwasa said Maria is the crystallized tears and sweat that she shed. The MV starts with a crime scene, Hwasa is dead and people are still trying to take some shots of her. A red hair Maria (an alter ego after Hwasa baptismal name) is watching the scene careless. Hwasa funeral, only empty chairs with invitation on it and with its back turned, nobody cares like she says in the lyrics. Here an homage to the most beautiful and powerful scene in Malena movie, with all those men offering their lighter to her. Malena is the most beautiful woman of a SMALL village (it can be a comparison to South Korea restricted mentality), because of her looks and her solitary state, she is an object of lust for all the town's men and of hatred for its women…after many vicissitudes and a very hard time she understood that her beauty is her salvation. So she cuts her black hair and dyes by red her hair, changing her attitude as well. We can clearly see a difference among Hwasa and Maria, both in outfits and attitude. In the table scene we can see a bloodstained Maria with rubber boots and a pretty simple outfit at a table with people all dressed up, they're keyboard warriors. Again lyrics "You all worked hard hating. If you knock me down. Does that feed you?" She's serving them with all sort of things. The table is full with jewels, trove of tapes, mics, cds, diamonds…but they're just looking at those picky. Maria with a bored face is watching them and then she starts happily eating a brain. The difference among Maria and those people is so strong and impactful. I've also read that eat someone's brain means pester someone. The triangular tub is also interesting, she's bathing in milk and rose petals like a Queen and her skin is so white, but once again she looks bored and then she starts to make 'no' gesture with her finger with a smirking face. Like 'I don't need to be pale, I'm beautiful like this'… probably a references to all hateful comments she gets about her bronze skin since ages. We're back to Hwasa, she's trapped like in a mental hospital with a straitjacket, all her body is constrained by laces…this once again can be interpreted as the restricted South Korea mentality. They're monitoring her, pencils (comments) are pointed at her and she is trying to escape from this kind of net (network) until she finds a crown with diamonds and nails (representing the double faces of success). Ink-stained hands Hwasa decides to wear the crown, She got ink on her hands while fighting malicious comments, in fact we can see her beating her fists on the ground and shouting. The triangular tub is back but this time we can see Maria and Hwasa looking at each other through a bloody water. A triangle is a figure linked to different trinities like mind, body & spirit; past, present & future; thought, feeling & emotion and creation, preservation and destruction. And, personally, all those fit this MV perfectly. And now we discover Hwasa was not dead at all. Like it was all a dream, in fact she's on a coach with scissor in her hands, she is alone with her thoughts when suddenly Mamamoo members appear with big smiles. She said many times Mamamoo are her strength and she was able to face difficulties since trainee period only because they were together. The whole lyrics are beautiful and powerful but sad at the same time. She said this is an exciting yet sad song, she likes those kind of songs because they resemble life. With this album Hwasa became the first Korean female solo artist to reach #1 on iTunes US. She co-wrote and co-composed 4 songs out of 6 of this album…an amazing album with powerful collaborations, a Queen like always.

[@Vrio_Side]

This good. Just the Malena referencia is a little "off". On the movie Malena "accept" what people tought and say about her hoping this will change people actitud towards her. But that doesn't happen and instant she gets even more attention. That's way Malena cries will lighting her cigarrete. She knows her fate is sealed by village people's choice and not because of her. Here we don't see Hwasa's choice, she just look at the camera, at us. She is the one judging us as we wait for her to accept lighter's suitors (Accept Korean Beauty Standars).

[@colguyo]

I stayed up for the premiere and honestly when I first heard the dance break and short transition into the new beat I was like ... wait what? And wasn’t sure if I was into it. Yet like you, I somehow liked it by the second listen. You’re spot on about how this is so Hwasa but not what we expected her to do. You may know now from other comments, but Hwasa and Wheein got baptized together when they were younger and Maria was her baptismal name, which she has tattooed on the back of her neck (Wheein’s is Gabriella). I think in general this MV represents Hwasa’s time in the spotlight and particularly the unnecessary hate she gets online. For such an upbeat song the lyrics are so sad. She essentially speaks to herself (Maria) about why is she doing this or that and struggling when she’s already beautiful. I don’t think I’ve actually seen or heard Hwasa so bluntly address this hate before with vulnerability, so it was shocking to me. Thanks for your insight on this MV! I didn’t know blood was something that could be censored in Korean broadcasting, so this context helps us international Moos better understand. I watched another reaction video of Koreans saying how they were shocked she held a cigarette since female idols don’t usually do that (although this was an homage to the film Malena).

[@shiftygirl6434]

well said!! i really love the juxtaposition of the upbeat dance break (no lyrics) with the solemn lyrics and sombre melody that immediately follows...the contrast really drives home the soul of the song for me...

[@eepysharkk]

didnt Wheein get tricked into being baptized lmao

[@thezokil]

This music video and lyrics are so chock full of meaningful and powerful symbolism and metaphors. My favorite being the chair in which Maria commits suicide is the same time and place as Hwasa waking up from her day dream before her groupmates arrive, powerful stuff man.

[@nehasaha3623]

When I started Staning Mamamoo I knew I would never regret it.

[@chaoticgrass7114]

Okay is it just me or is that whenever a song has a muffled singing part as an intro, it just lets me know that the song is going to be hella good

[@Dontknowwhattosay]

in the last scene we see hwasa with a sad expression and the members come and make her feel better, in a way, they save her as before we saw hwasa in the same set with scissors in her hand (which can mean that she was very low in her life and depressed)

[@diahnab]

Am I the only one who took it as them visiting her in the mental institution? She looked like she was in a waiting room

[@blanca3806]

about the Latin influence, it’s mostly Spanish (different things) The “la li le lo lai la le li le lo lai” is taken from flamenco and the part where the music changes it’s a flamenco sound with the Spanish guitar and all (kinda mixed with a reggaeton rhythm) and even the choreo and the dress she’s wearing is inspired by it

[@cherryblxe]

yeah, I see that many are confused because they don't know the difference between Spain and Latin America sounfs, but i'm Latina and I was also confused the first time i heard it, like what an interesting combination that i never heard hahaha. queen hwasa made me feel confused but i love that part...

[@wisteriabloom9412]

[@IsabellaTheotonio95]

My interpretation is: I think the lyrics are so raw (in a good way) and so personal, she's so sincere about her feelings about the constant hate she receives and how she doubts herself, shes telling Maria (Her baptismal name, herself) that she should love herself and dont let those hate comments get to her head. The end where the girls show up is representing how being friends with them saved her from hurting herself or committing suicide, that they changed her fate and she couldnt be more thankful.

[@becalmhyejin]

Hwasa wrote the storyline for the MV! I made a video with my explanation of it, but this is basically about her struggles with herself, between Maria (her true self) and Hwasa (what people want to see her as), and that Mamamoo have been her support (hence the last scene). I think it's a powerful message and holds a lot of meaning.

[@wjfhjsk]

The mv is a true masterpiece, with lots of duality and symbolisms. I'd see Maria as the grown up version of Hwasa. As black hair Hwasa (in earlier stages of her career) struggles with public hates (flying pens) and her mental health (the straitjacket and the squiggly lines surrounding her), she slowly becomes the red hair Maria (the Malèna-inspired scene is a smart way to show a transition from black to red hair; and the pool scene where Hwasa stares at her red reflection and eventually ends up "dead" in the pool while Maria emerges), with Maria being the more carefree, outspoken personality. I'd interpret it as Hwasa breaking free from the prison of public malice and her own mind, and letting herself be who she truly is (aka QUEEN). Her success has brought her a lot of pain, as evident from the nail crown and the scissors on her wrist, but her members have always been there for her since the beginning (black hair Hwasa greeting them) and that allows her to grow into the mature, self-assured woman Maria. Side note: I think the use of her baptismal name also shows a sense of faith in God and in herself.

[@tuni16tuni]

About your "Movie like" remarque, the MV is actually heavily influenced by the movie Maléna that Hwasa really loves (she's a huge movie buff btw) and Maria is her baptismal name (she's singing to herself) Overall I was very impressed with this comeback and the whole album and how personal it seemed to be as in her own words Hwasa said she put her literal sweat and tears in it, and she worked on/assisted on everything the lyrics of songs, composing, the mv storyline...etc Everything. Thank you for the reaction Pd

First thing that attracts me to a song is melody, then lyrics and overall how melody and lyrics fits the musical arrangement. Perfect songs have all three. I also love when music surprises me. I notice you are less lyrical- focused, but you do point out production elements I may not appreciate at first. Lyrics typically aren’t heavy for Dance music so it’s refreshing to have a danceable beat with meaningful lyrics.

[@thisbethor]

About the "Latin expectation": It's been pointed out a couple of times now that the song title is a reference to Hwa Sa's baptismal name, not to give it a Latin spin. Howeverrrrr.... she IS a huge Rihanna fan, and both Rihanna's and Beyoncé's music have helped her through dark times in the past. So the subtle Latin untertones and the extremely not sublte interlude can be seen as her hommage to Latin music, but it's not connected to the naame "María".

[@graceababan]

Here's my take on Mamamoo's cameo at the end: The whole song is a visual representation of Hwasa's mental state. In between the 2nd chorus with the male dancers, there were scene cuts of her holding a scissor in a dark room. That was the exact room where Mamamoo members found Hwasa as she's staring at her fingernails the same intense way as she was glued to the scissors in her own world, which to me is her engulfed in dark thoughts. Mamamoo's appearance in the end is the real world. Just in time as the song ends. The whole MV has a dark tone but Mamamoo's appearance is like a ray of sunshine. It somehow gives the viewers a sense of "Yes! she's gonna be okay now"

[@agustinechristy1972]

Hwasa in the MV bts refered to her story of María divided by 빨간 마리아 and 흑인의 마리아 the lyrics spoke about tabloid media who writes crap about her and haters and anits that wants to push her to the edge, the gray scene I believe is connected with her scene wearing the crazy jacket and it looks like an asylum. Mamamoo I believe showed as the people who is there for her when her inner demons show up (ex. Like the shots in the m/v she was trying to cut herself with a pair of scissors) she dissed the media in a lot of shot of the MV

[@coriannonthielemier2332]

I’m just going to sum this up, she is really stressed because of standards and the opinions of other people. The pencils symbolize that words do in fact hurt. The crown symbolizes the pain it takes to make your dreams a reality. But in all of it she feels anxious and, to a point, depressed as well. She thinks about taking her life away, until she realizes the reason she wants to stay in the first place. The rest of Mamamoo.

[@sumedhasingh2632]

@@aileean19 just for clarity... You love Hyuna just cause she wore a bra on stage??

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

@@sumedhasingh2632 I doubt that's what they meant. lol Why does that bother you, anyway? I think you took it out of context. >_>

[@giovanatogni245]

@@sumedhasingh2632 i think she meant that she loves her and period. But if you look at it this way it could mean she loves her for being herself, for not caring about what people think of her, for oposing to "boys can take their shirts of on stage and its hot but if a girl does it she is a slut", doing whatever she wants and taking her shirt off on stage.

[@aileean19]

@@sumedhasingh2632 The comments above me pretty much answered for me but what I meant was that I love HyunA because she does whatever she wants. If there's something she want to do, she just does it no matter what the public might think, especially if it's about being sexy or doing something that "female idols shouldn't do"... I hope that's clear, I'm not an English speaker 😊

[@missmacapaca]

[@scarletdeve]

That dance break it tells the beginning of her rebirth to the new her the brave Maria who is calm now

[@sumedhasingh2632]

Only Queen HWASA can pull off this crazy weird switch up & make it classy & a bop♥️

[@vicparaleigos]

She used sample from "Didzhey" by Swanky Tunes, which is a russian bop I love when k-pop samples russians songs, brings such a unique and tasteful sound

[@Bongi344]

The camera work+editing after the dancebreak tho, when they pickup María from the floor. Hahahahah so good.

[@castielwinchester5577]

the whole album is so beautiful but the lyrics in Maria are so brilliant

[@astronaomy]

Thank you so much PD!

[@alexawoo1594]

I always love to see your reactions because you point some hide minings in the MVs that I will NEVER think about 😅

[@kanelin2235]

[@maincourse898]

I LOVE HWASA AND MARIA!!! SHE WOULD'VE HAD A US DEBUT BUT SINCE COVID19 SHE COULDN'T! SHE ALSO SAID THAT SHE WAS GOING TO PERFORM AT COACHELLA!!!

[@Twonkae]

COACHELLA?? now I’m sad I’d love to see her at coachella

[@linhypooy]

can you please show me where they said this? i’ve been seeing a lot of moos say similar things about how she was supposed to come to america to promote (finally for once) but covid happened? ALSO, other moos have been saying she was gonna perform at a similar festival to coachella, and not coachella exactly. I WAS THINKING “lollapalooza” 💔💔
