Mitski might be an Oscar nominee but she’s just like any other K-pop fan! The American singer-songwriter has repeatedly expressed her admiration for an iconic EXO song. In fact, the “Your Best American Girl” singer even admitted that she listens to the track on repeat!
Oscar Nominee Confirms ‘Obsession’ For an Iconic EXO Song
In a recently-resurfaced interview with TIDAL, Mitski was asked if there is a pop song that she has been deconstructing as of late. Interestingly, the “Nobody” singer revealed that her choice is an iconic EXO song.
“There’s a K-Pop song called ‘Call Me Baby’ by this band… I don’t know what you would call a K-Pop… group… by this group called EXO,” Mitski said.
She went on to say that, “the chord progressions in that are fascinating.”
This isn’t the first time that the songwriter expressed her admiration for “Call Me Baby”. In another interview, Mitski said that she was listening to the iconic EXO song on repeat at the time. She even pointed out that there is a good reason why the track is so catchy.
“One of Michael Jackson’s old producers produced it and it makes sense because it’s so Motown pop-y,” Mitski said.
It’s awesome to know that Mitski couldn’t stop listening to “Call Me Baby” for a time. But is it possible that she has moved on to another song for a change? For now, there are no updates on Mitski’s playlist but we’ll keep you updated soon.
Mitski debuted in 2012 with the self-produced album ‘Lush’. She would later work on the song “This is the Life” with the legendary David Byrne and the band Son Lux who produced the soundtrack for “Everything Everywhere All at Once”. The song would go on to be nominated for Best Original Song at the 2022 Academy Awards but lost out to “Naatu Naatu” by M. M. Keeravani and Chandrabose featuring Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava from the “RRR” soundtrack.
