About the Song
《Dolphin》 is a bright and playful track by OH MY GIRL that captures the feeling of a secret crush through light melodies and whimsical sound effects. Released in 2020 as part of the single album NONSTOP under WM Entertainment, the song stands out with its refreshing summer energy and imaginative use of dolphin-like whistles as a musical motif. Composed by hitmaker Ryan S. Jhun alongside Celine Svanback, Chloe Latimer, Jeppe London, and Lauritz Christiansen, and written by lyricist Seo Jeong-ah, 《Dolphin》 transforms subtle signals of affection into a charming metaphor, expressing the excitement of feelings that cannot be spoken out loud but are clearly felt.

The song captures the chaos of emotions when a crush appears at the worst possible moment, throwing the heart off balance again and again. It describes the push and pull of attraction where closeness feels exciting but distance feels just as strong, like waves that never settle. Beneath the playful surface, it is about hiding real feelings, getting swept up in sudden attraction, and realizing you are already in too deep even when you try to stay calm.
