"Ice Cream" is a 2012 K-pop song by South Korean singer Kim Hyun-a (also known as HYUNA, Hyuna, or HyunA), and is taken from her second EP, Melting. Melting, HyunA's solo album and extended play, features "Ice Cream" and four other songs.
Psy was featured as a cameo on the music video of this song.
Release[]
In early October, HyunA released the teaser for this song. Before the release of the song, she mentioned that the music video has a "bubble bath scene," and the lyrics of the song state "I’ll melt you down like ice cream." The song also features Maboos, a member of a group called "Electroboyz". PSY is featured in the song's music video. HyunA was in the "Gangnam Style" music video, a song by South Korean rapper PSY. On the day that the song was released, 22 October 2012, it was viewed two million times. Within four days, the music video for "Ice Cream" had almost reached eight million views at YouTube. Cube Entertainment (or Play CUBE Entertainment) released the video on YouTube, where Psy made a cameo appearance in the video. On 6 October (KST), the video reached ten million views on YouTube, nine days faster than Gangnam Style, a K-pop video which HyunA was included in. The video featured bubbles, a tattooed man and ice cream. There is an ongoing discussion into if the video should have a nineteen plus rating. The song has a "strong hiphop sound and unique rapping" from HyunA. On 21 October 2012, the extended play Melting was leaked on a "foreign music site," a day before the EPs intended release. But, the song managed to reach first place on many music websites.
Promotion[]
HyunA promoted the title track "Ice Cream" on music shows starting on October 25, 2012 on Mnet's M! Countdown, KBS's Music Bank, MBC's Show! Music Core and SBS's Inkigayo.
Music video[]
On October 19, 2012, the music video teaser for "Ice Cream" was released. The full music video was released on October 22, 2012. The music video features a short cameo from PSY. Four days after its release, the music video tied the record for the K-pop music video to achieve ten million views on YouTube the fastest. The record is now held by both Girls' Generation's "The Boys" in addition to "Ice Cream". This achievement is especially notable because it even exceeds PSY's attachment rate for his viral hit, "Gangnam Style", which took fifteen days to acquire the same number of views.
