Summer queen Taeyeon is back with the release of her digital single, ‘Weekend’. Even before the release, she was trending on Bugs, Genie and MelOn as knetizens were excited about her newest song. She had last performed ‘What Do I Call You’ live for the first time for an SMTOWN concert and had been featured in labelmate Taemin’s ‘If I Could Tell You’. This is her first solo single in more than six months.

‘Weekend’ happens to be a disco-pop song with a fun and vibrant music video that shows us a different side to the Girls’ Generation’s leader. A retro arrangement full of synths and soft guitar, Taeyeon raps and shows off her mellow side while still proving her position as the main vocalist of her group. The idol stated that she wanted her fans to enjoy this bright song that would help them forget their worries even if it is just for a moment.
