Chuu, affectionately known as the “Human Vitamin,” has gifted fans with a heartwarming music video reminiscent of a romantic comic strip. On May 7, Chuu unveiled the MV for the track “Back in Town,” a B-side from her third mini-album, Only Cry in the Rain. According to her agency ATRP, the song captures the fleeting emotions of a budding first love, blending playful yet delicate storytelling that resonates with Chuu’s unique perspective.
Set against the backdrop of a “girl’s room,” the MV portrays the exhilarating yet confusing emotions experienced upon encountering a first love. The visual aesthetic combines sitcom-like humor with a sentimental atmosphere, portraying Chuu as a daydreaming girl who becomes lost in her imagination. Throughout the video, Chuu skillfully expresses a spectrum of emotions, ranging from innocent infatuation to heartfelt sincerity, all while interacting with fantasy-like illustrations that blur the line between reality and imagination.
Notably, the male lead from the MV of the title track “Only Cry in the Rain” makes a reappearance in “Back in Town,” creating a cohesive narrative thread that ties the two songs together. This storytelling technique effectively reinforces the overarching emotional arc of the album, presenting both tracks as interconnected yet distinct chapters in a single romantic journey.
With its whimsical portrayal of young love and Chuu’s endearing performance, the “Back in Town” MV provides a charming yet nostalgic glimpse into the complexities of first love. Following the release of Only Cry in the Rain on April 21, Chuu continues to actively promote her new album, drawing attention for her captivating storytelling and expressive artistry.
