9 is the debut single of the Korean singer, actor and model, Dae Ho Park (not to be confused with Dae Na Geum, a member of the Kpop group Mi•Mi) for his debut studio album Quarter Notes N Shit, a collaborative record with Drew Westbrook. It was released on July 1st, 2015 through Studio60 Records. Produced by FancyN, the song was written by Dae Ho Park, Drew Westbrook and Airemese Smith. A song about Dae Ho park's past experiences with 3 different women and how he coached himself through the heated situations, the song is rumored to be about a number of women in Hollywood.
A young actor, singer and model, it's been almost 2 years since Dae Ho Park was introduced to the business. Dae was known remotely in 2013 for his supporting role on ALISTAIR: City Of Secrets as Caleb Lockheart. It wasn't soon after that when he landed a record deal with the major record label Studio60, just months after his twin sister Mi Sun Kim signed onto Five Pesky Kids with Mi•Mi. That same month, the demo that got him on Studio60 leaked onto the internet, a short song named "May Be Young" featuring guest vocals from the female rapper Lotus that went viral and even gained a little airplay with it's looped version. The buzz for Ho's singing career quickly went away as he focused more on his acting, landing another role on Consequences, this time serving the role of the co-star of the show as Lee Hatter. Not much has been heard from him since then, other than dating rumors here and there. That was until he was reportedly in the studio with a number of people, mainly Drew Westbrook. Recently announcing the release of his debut album Quarter Notes N Shit to be a collaborative album with the buzzed rapper, while Westbrook dropped his promotional single 12 a few weeks ago, Dae Ho Park has hinted at the release of his debut single for the last month, tweeting "random" numbers back and forth with the rapper. 9 was one of those numbers tweeting and referred to. Now revealed as the long awaiting debut single from the teen magnet, 9 serves as the third single from Quarter Notes N Shit, the first two being ONE and 12, both performed by Drew Westbrook. This is the first track released from the album where Dae Ho Park reveals himself as a contender to the highly anticipated album.
Speaking on 3 different periods in his life with 3 different women who've left impressions on him, Dae Ho Park makes a bold move for his first single. Instead of taking the time to introduce himself and explain why he finally debuted like Drew Westbrook does in ONE, Dae Ho Park decides to flips the little relevance he has had in the tabloids into a hit, the song 9 explicitly sharing details of his experience with the few women he's been with in Hollywood, doing everything short of namedropping the women. The song itself is a slick bop, lead by a bass that gives it a nice groove with claps and soulful brief vocals that back it up, as Dae walks you through the song, putting you in the intense moments of intimacy that he was in when faced with these scenarios. But it's obvious that it's aim is to get the listener to wonder exactly whom the verses are about and when the listener isn't trying to gather hints and decipher lyrics, they can easily put themselves in the same position, his third person vibes to the explicit lyrics really setting a nice tone for them. The song has been praised by critics for it's laid back yet sexy approach to the kind of riff that is bound to catch on and hook new fans, not to mention many speculators.
Dae Ho Park
I used to know this girl, a childhood friend
Who, when it all went south, helped me play pretend
A blindfold for the things I didn't want to believe
A peephole just in case I wanted to see
You see, I've played doctor, I've even played house
But she was the one who taught me all about Cat & Mouse
We got bored, swapped places
Suddenly the game seemed to change it's basics
Didn't pout, couldn't yell, "no fair!"
When she started to just not care
Started to waste her time with all the other boys
Who had the Big Wheels, Lunchables, and Game Boys
See back then, that stuff I just couldn't afford
I thought I'd have a chance now that I'm flexing in my Tom Ford
Going crazy in the back of my mind
This time...
"Can't mess this up
The stakes are too high
When the temp is right
Just dive right in, yeah
Start with that head
The pressure's in between those legs
When the temp's just right
You should dive right in"
Known you for a couple weekends, still don't know what I'm feeling
But I've been told I can make those toes curl up to the ceiling
Spent your whole life without Dae, I can tell you need some healing
I've heard about that soft skin, I was just tryna get my feel in
But now I'm staring blankly into space, still don't know what to fill in
I can feel my ribs beat and I can hear my head spinning
It's only 9, why you gotta dance like that?
Swaying your hips side to side, you should just sit up on my lap
You know we could really use less clothes
I can tell this denim is getting in the way of what you really want
You didn't really need that zipper on your dress, am I right?
Came in here looking so fly, dressed to the nines
But for now I'm just blinded by the way you look me in the eye
Tossing around on this couch, we could do this all night
Kissing on your neck, sinking in just right
This time...
"Can't mess this up
The stakes are too high
When the temp is right
Just dive right in, yeah
Start with that head
The pressure's in between those legs
When the temp's just right
You should dive right in"
(CLACK CLACK CLACK) When you walked on by
Strutting in those heels, had me hypnotized
Your chin music up, you could tell you had my eye
I was young but that didn't change the fact that you were fine
You really looked like you knew your stuff
And I liked how you could hold it all down on your own
But you underestimated what I'm capable of
And we both knew we wouldn't have been talking if you really wanted to be alone
I forgot exactly which one of us had cast the first stone
All I know is those meetings with your label got postponed
And we both left fake numbers in each other's phones
But in that hour, it felt right, even though we were going bout it all wrong
That quick moment we shared between us, nobody else will ever know
And running into you here, something told me to just go back home
But these looks you're giving me from across the room keep telling me you feel like breaking the rules
This time...
"Can't mess this up
The stakes are too high
When the temp is right
Just dive right in, yeah
Start with that head
The pressure's in between those legs
When the temp's just right
You should dive right in"
"Can't mess this up
The stakes are too high
When the temp is right
Just dive right in, yeah
Start with that head
The pressure's in between those legs
When the temp's just right
You should dive right in"
