Single: Melt Artist: Mi•Mi Label: N/A Release Date: February 7th, 2016 Genre: K-pop, Hip Hop Written by: Kyung Mi Lee, Kim Mi Sun, Geum Namae, Geum Dae Na Produced by: FancyN Length: 3:29
Melt is the collaboration between M&M and Mi•Mi, serving as the first single (but not the lead single, as made clear by the girls of Mi•Mi) from the their third and final album. The song was one of the few songs written solely by the group themselves and was produced by Nina "Rum" Tarantino under the producing name, FancyN. The song impacted US radio on February 8th, 2016, and was made available for digital download outside of the album globally on February 8th, 2016, only a day after it was premiered during the Super Bowl 50 commercials. With a tempo of 149 beats per minute, Melt is a fast-tempo K-pop song with a heavy Hip Hop influence. Serving as the boldest song recorded by the girls yet, Mi•Mi takes full control in the hard hitting track, declaring war on their estranged label SM Entertainment and swearing to never let anyone else take advantage of them again. The song is inspired by the persona of the green M&M, "Ms. Green", and puts a spin on her sexualized image while using her catchphrase, "I melt for no one" as a slogan of dominance.
“We have built our business on creativity and a strong drive for success and no one has proven themselves to live by the same beliefs like Mi•Mi has to us.” M&M representatives stated just weeks ago, taking it upon themselves to gush over the girl group they just named their brand ambassadors. On January 18th, 2016, a $60 million dollar deal between M&M and Mi•Mi was signed after almost 2 full years of negotiations. It was said that it would be an endorsement like no other, serving as a hybrid project that will include a multimillion-dollar fund to support the release and promotion of the 3rd album from Mi•Mi. During the first week of January, the breaking news of Mi•Mi calling it quits after claiming SM Entertainment were violating the basic rights of all 4 members sent fans and spectators into a frenzy, wondering if the group would ever get a chance to share their final album, or even get to finish their first and only world tour. "We just want to make music, we don't care if we have to leak it. We don't care if everybody involved loses billions. This album is important to us, it has a message that is important to us and the world needs to hear it." The girl group posted on their official Korean fancafe the following week. When weeks later the deal with M&M was announced, it was only confirmed that the girls would stop at nothing to get their music out to their fans.

Either stroke the shaft or get struck by the lightning You really make it sound so enticing But every cloud has a silver lining And you could never stop the art with a suit and tie, man Your contracts will never pin down Mi•Mi We rise above the bullshit, we're always transcending Watch the little girls take on the world with a smile on their face With just a roll of the tongue, we'll rub em off in the wrong way I'm the one I call to take control Because I know I do it be-e-est Every move I make is personal Don't let it go to your he-e-ead I wonder why you think I crack under heat I wonder what made you think you can walk over me I'm the one I call to take control And I'm getting tired of your suggestions
We'll never vanish! The answer was always within my message, I'm picking up where I left it! We'll never vanish! I got a heart made of steel and your jet fuel can't melt it!
Solidified! Hit me with your best shot, take a bite! 'Cause you ain't doing much in my eyes! You might think I've been walking on your eggshells But you could never put me back in that shell! I will never retreat and isolate myself again! I will never surrender a fight I know I can win! I will never listen to somebody so shelved And you'll never melt me out of my shell!
So just start kneeling, start kneeling I'm claiming what's mine and it's only the beginning Start kneeling, start kneeling I'm taking over my life and listening to my gut feeling Start kneeling, start kneeling I'm claiming what's mine and it's only the beginning Start kneeling, start kneeling I'm freeing my mind, fuck your concealment!
I'm taking charge of my name, SM could never chain me Standing tall on my own, footloose and fancy-free Used to end every show on the same note but those nights are long gone I was only losing from your dilution, now I'm giving you something to set your sights on
