Got Love[1] (stylized as GOT♡) is the second extended play by South Korean boy band Got7. It was released on June 23, 2014 by JYP Entertainment.[2]
Composition
The album consists of eight tracks: "U Got Me" is a hip hop song with drums as the main instrument, while "A" is an up-tempo R&B song with hip hop beats composed by J.Y. Park.[3] The title is a combination of the English letter "a" and the homophonous Korean exclamation used to tease someone who tries in vain to hide their feelings.[3][4] The song talks about the joy of a relationship change, and the excitement and feelings at the beginning of a love story.[5]
"Bad Behaviour" is urban R&B, and the lyrics, written by JB, prompt to confess your feelings, while "Good Tonight" combines ethnic percussion and a brass arrangement with an urban beat: it talks about a couple in a secret relationship who is urged not to care about other people's opinions, but to love each other.[3] "Forever Young" is an R&B and hip hop song, with acoustic guitar accents.[3]
The rap for "U Got Me" was written by Jackson,[6] although he is not credited.
Critical reception
According to Yoo Je-sang of Idology, "From the melodies to the sound, this album was crafted meticulously," while Jo Sung-min of the same webzine found that, except for "A," the other songs were repetitive.[7]
