IU: Ah it’s been awhile. How long has it been? 2 years? or 3 years? I think it’s been 3 years since I came on M Countdown.
Voice: She looks really lovely practising the highlight of her choreography. Finally, the rehearsal is starting. IU is closely monitoring her performance.
PD: Did it come out well?
IU: No. I don’t think I look good.

[TRANSLATION] IU 131010 Mnet Countdown Comeback Stage Rehearsal BTS
(starts at 2:10)
0215 PD: You put on red shoes?
0217 IU: Yes~ I put on red shoes. Because the concept for my album this time is red shoes.
0221 IU: It’s my first comeback stage, but I’ll do a good job!
0225 IU: I even put on contact lens and applied heavy makeup… I’ll do a good job and be right back~
0236 IU: My title track is ‘The Red Shoes’ this time. It’s an exciting swing dance track that uses Hans Andersen’s ‘The Red Shoes’ as a motif. There’s a dance too and upon putting on my red shoes, my body goes out of control and pulls me into a dance. I practised the dance choreography a lot. Today is my comeback stage and I should do it well, but could I be making dark history (meaning something one wants to forget or pretend never happened)…
0323 IU: In a moment, at 6pm, IU’s comeback stage will be revealed for the first time! Stay tuned!

[TRANSLATION] IU’s comeback from a young girl to a lady - IU recording her original compositions - Naver Music 131008
Q. What kind of song is ‘Voice Mail’?
A. Just like the title says, it’s a voice message. Denying one’s feelings for someone, but not being able to stand it any longer and ending up confessing one’s feelings to the other. I wrote the lyrics with the intention of recording a voice message, but sometimes I could feel the emotions and sometimes I couldn’t.
Q. Does it feel different when you record your own self-composition compared to when you record other songs?
A. When I record other songs, I just need to pay attention to the song, but since this is a song I wrote, I pay more attention to the lyrics too and I want to do better at it, so I tend to end up spending a longer time recording it.
