"Senorita" is a song recorded by South Korean girl group (G)I-dle. It was released on February 26, 2019, as the title track from the group's second EP I Made (2019).

A Japanese version of the song was released on August 26, 2020, for their 2nd Japanese EP Oh My God. [3]

Background

Soyeon worked with Carlos Gorito, a Brazilian TV personality, to express the "Spanish" part of the song in a strong way. [4]

Composition

The lyrics were written by member Soyeon, who also served as producer alongside Big Sancho. [5] "Senorita" is a Latina and [1] dance-pop track [2] that recalls "a retro feel in a trendy way" in its production. [1] Its incorporates castanets, jazzy brass horns alongside groovy rhythmic strings and sleek electronic effects. [6] It also features bass guitar, drums, percussion, piano and brass instruments that "heavily harmonized and reminiscent of " flamenco music". [1] [7] In terms of musical notation, the song was written in the key of C minor with a tempo of 120 beats per minute. [8] Its lyrics talk about a girl falling in love with a guy at the first sight. [2] The girl confidently relaying their emotions to a " Senor," who seemingly chants out the song's title in the post-chorus. [6]

Music video

On February 26, "Senorita" was released along with its music video. [9] The video shows the group entering a brightly-hued hotel full of danger, including razor blade-filled lollipops, dangling cranes, electrocution via hairdryer, and fires. The video’s release marks the partnership with Memebox’s new Kaja cosmetic line. Throughout, the members of the act wear and interact with Kaja makeup products. [6]

Park Dong-seon of Electronic Times noted that the music video concept is reminiscing to a 80s – 90s musical movie, writing "the song's trendy retro, that is [giving a] ' New-Retro' feeling, and the vivid color sense in the groovy choreography performance create a fascinating feeling." [1]

The group performed the song for the first time on February 27, 2019 on MBC's Show Champion. Followed by Music Bank on March one. On March 2, they performed on Show! Music Core. On the next day they performed on Inkigayo. On March 5 they appeared on The Show, and on March 7, they performed on M Countdown.
