Sweet and Strange – Ice Cream Cake by 레드벨벳 (Red Velvet)

🎵 Song Overview

• Title: Ice Cream Cake
• Artist: 레드벨벳 (Red Velvet)
• Released: 2015
• Genre: K-pop / Pop / Trap / Experimental

“Ice Cream Cake” is the title track of Red Velvet’s first mini album of the same name. With its eerie intro, sugary chorus, and genre-hopping sound, it perfectly captures the duality of Red Velvet’s "Red" (bright, poppy) and "Velvet" (smooth, mysterious) concepts.

📖 What It's About

The song playfully compares the feeling of falling in love to tasting sweet, addictive ice cream. But under the surface, there’s something a bit off—like a dream that’s too perfect to be real. “Ice Cream Cake” is cute and catchy, but just a little creepy—and that’s what makes it unforgettable.

💬 Why I Love It

It’s weird, in the best way. “Ice Cream Cake” is a bold debut statement that shows Red Velvet isn’t afraid to experiment. The production is unpredictable, the visuals are whimsical and eerie, and the vocals are top-notch. It’s one of those K-pop songs that you don’t forget after the first listen.
