"Ganadara" is a song by Korean-American rapper Jay Park featuring South Korean singer-songwriter IU. It was released on March 11, 2022, through More Vision and distributed by Kakao Entertainment. It peaked at number one on the Gaon Digital Chart.
Recording[edit]
"Ganadara" was recorded in 2020 but was released in 2022 as Jay Park "wanted to release it at the right time, when I could prepare for it properly and have the [right] time and condition for it."[2]
Music and lyrics[edit]
According to IZM, "Jay Park sings "Teach me tonight Ga-na-da-ra-ma-ba-sa" which reflects his real self who is not fluent in Korean. The soft R&B melody and lyrics that capture him being nervous in front of his love interest fit well with his image."[3]
Music video[edit]
The music video for "Ganadara" accompanied the song's release. It comically depicts the process where Jay Park asks IU to appear in the video.[4]
Critical reception[edit]
Park Sujin of IZM rated "Ganadara" 3.5 out of 5 stars. According to Park, it is a "good pop song" that "perfectly reflects Jay Park's bizarre, cute, but hot personality."[3]
