Earlier today, it was reported that HyunA participated in the composing and lyrical writing of “Very Hot,” one of the main tracks from her upcoming 2^nd mini album, “Melting.” This is her first attempt at actual songwriting and we’re excited to see her broaden her horizons!

In fact, it’s become a growing trend recently for female idols to try their hands at composing songs and writing lyrics.
