‘Ringa Linga’ is not only the first song in 3 years for TAEYANG, but it is also the firs title song of his 2nd full album. As a producer, G-DRAGON has composed countless songs for BIGBANG and also for himself, but him being involved in writing and composing the song for TAEYANG’s title track is unprecedented.

Until now, TAEYANG has been known for his unique color showed in the sentimental, medium-tempo R&B songs like ‘Only Look At Me’, ‘I Need a Girl’, and ‘Wedding Dress’, so the expectations for the new song is simply heightening as G-DRAGON, who has a very strong voice in rap and hip-hop was in charge of writing and composing the song. Many are curious to see what kind of transformation TAEYANG would go through in his latest album.

TAEYANG and G-DRAGON’s friendship goes way back to 13 years ago, when they were just young boys aged 13 who were recruited at YG Entertainment. Fans are excited to see what the symbol of 13-year-old friendship would look like when it is reborn as a song.

TAEYANG, this afternoon (Nov 1) unveiled a teaser image of his music video through YG Entertainment’s official blog YG-LIFE. TAEYANG’s face is half covered by a black turtleneck sweater, while only showing a unique trace of thick eyeliner that blankets his eyelids.
