The R&B unit "LUIRE," consisting of AILLYN and MAI, has chosen "shut down" as their second single. Set against a tough R&B sound reminiscent of the feverish 2000s, this song delivers a sharp and refreshing message through the intertwining vocals of the duo.
The lyrics explore finding one's "true self" by putting an end to ambiguous relationships and "shutting down" everything that no longer serves.
The visual of red high heels crushing a stone embodies the line: “You’re just a pebble, I’m a black diamond rock.” It reflects an image of a tough, independent woman moving forward, crushing past romances to fuel her journey to the next stage.
This is LUIRE's message to women everywhere: live as your true self. Their 1st single "ASH&DIAMOND," released in February, quickly ranked 10th on the iTunes Store (Japan) R&B/Soul Top Songs chart. They also gained attention for their session with DJ HASEBE on the popular YouTube channel "OPEN MIC by JIM BEAM."
