"Nabillera" (Korean: 나빌레라; RR: Nabillela) is a song recorded by South Korean singer-songwriter and rapper Hyuna, released on July 20, 2022, under P Nation. It is the title track from the EP of the same name, and was released simultaneously with an accompanying music video.[1] The song serves as Hyuna's last solo release under P Nation following her departure from the company in August 2022.[2]
Composition
The song was written by Hyuna, Psy, and Dawn.[3] "Nabillera" was described as a "Latin-style" song with a light and minimal beat and tropical rhythm. Its lyrics express a desire to become a butterfly, hoping to leave a mark in someone's memory.[4][5] The song's title – written in Korean as 나빌레라 – its a native Korean phrase from an old poem named "The Nun's Dance", which roughly translates to "like a butterfly" in English.[6]
