In a Q&A session ahead of the single's release, Dayoung shared various stories about the collaboration and the working process. Regarding the reason for collaborating with Jay Park, she said, 'While working, I listened to the song and thought it would be nice if Senior Jay Park's voice was included.' She added, 'After finishing the lyrics and the song, I played it for him directly, and he immediately said he wanted to join, so the collaboration came together.' On the meaning of the title 'FLIRTY,' she explained, 'Hearing the intro, I thought of the excitement and fluttering feelings right before love begins. I naturally set the concept around that emotion and made the song.'
She mentioned that they started working on it about nine months ago, saying, 'Rather than a special story, I tried to naturally include the feelings I had at the time. Thanks to that, I think a song that can be listened to without pressure was completed.' Dayoung, who has consistently participated in lyric writing and composition since starting her solo activities, smiled when asked about her growth, saying, 'I'm not sure yet,' but added, 'My goal is to make music that I can be satisfied with at every moment, and I am grateful that results I like have come out so far.' She revealed that she put the most effort into the vocal balance with Jay Park during the collaboration process. 'I kept modifying the part arrangement, the timing when the senior's voice sounded most charming, and the balance with me to increase the quality,' she explained.
She pointed out performance as a highlight of the music video. Dayoung said, 'Since both Jay Park and I value performance, we wanted to naturally tell the story through dance. I hope you will focus on the performance this time as well.' She continued, 'I think the synergy of the two will be felt even more strongly in this choreography. Please look forward to a stage where the energy blends naturally.' Regarding the meaning of this single, she said, 'It is an honor to collaborate with an artist I always wanted to work with. I am satisfied with the result, and I want to continue making and sharing the music I love.' Finally, she expressed her gratitude to fans, saying, 'I sincerely thank you for always supporting me. I will do my best to repay you with better music and stages.' Meanwhile, Dayoung will officially begin her activities by releasing the collaborative single 'FLIRTY' on the 4th at 6 PM. Having participated in the song's creation herself, Dayoung is showing expanded musical possibilities as a solo artist by revealing her abilities not only in vocals and performance but also as a singer-songwriter through her collaboration with Jay Park.
