Anatomy of a Song: When Groups Name Songs After Themselves (MEOVV, Girls’ Generation, IZNA & More)

Why do K-pop groups sometimes name songs after themselves? In today’s Anatomy of a Song, I’m listening to self-titled tracks' vocal and what stands up when isolated! 

From MEOVV’s “MEOW” to Girls’ Generation’s “Girls’ Generation,” IZNA’s “IZNA,” and Say My Name’s “Say My Name,” I strip these tracks back and listen to how each group uses their own name as a branding tool, a mission statement, or even a warning shot.
