B.I of iKon revealed that his musical driving force is his childlike innocence, which inspired him to create the group’s mega hit “Love Scenario.”

“The song itself has a sad meaning, but I made the song with the heart of a child, with so much joy. I think that’s why the song was so popular among young listeners,” said the songwriter-artist during an interview for the group’s new album “New Kids: Continue” in Seoul on Thursday.

“Love Scenario,” the lead track off iKon’s second full-length album “New Kids: Return” released in January, has been making waves among kindergarteners and elementary school students due to its easy-to-follow melody and lyrics.

Expressing his gratitude for the song’s tremendous success, B.I continued, “My biggest inspiration in making music is that childlike innocence. I don’t want to lose that.”

He admitted that he had felt burdened over “Killing Me,” the groovy and dark lead track off the new album “New Kids: Continue,” but emphasized that he didn’t write the song aiming for success on the charts.

“I don’t expect anything with our new song. The process of making it, that’s what we value. We wish to stay as humble as we can, and remain as we are,” he said.

“New Kids: Continue” includes the tracks “Freedom,” “Only You” “Cocktail” and “Just For You,” all of which were penned and composed by B.I.
