Body (Dayoung song)
Body, styled in lowercase, is a dance-pop song by Dayoung, a member of WJSN. It was released on September 9, 2025, as the lead single from her debut album Gonna Love Me, Right? (also stylized in lowercase) under Starship Entertainment.
The track was written and produced by a team including Jack Brady, Jordan Roman, DCF, Deza, and Eric Nam, with Exy contributing to the lyrics. The Wavys produced and arranged the music. Musically, Body features bright synths and a strong, muscular bassline, and Dayoung sings both lead and background vocals. The song has a flirtatious, energetic vibe that critics described as perfect for dancing.
The music video was filmed in Los Angeles and shot as a one-take style montage of Dayoung dancing through a mansion at a house party. Although simple, every gesture, including eye movements, was carefully choreographed. Critics noted the video focuses on choreography and daylit, summery visuals.
Reception was strong. NME praised the song’s radiant energy, and Billboard called the chorus addictive. Stardust highlighted its precise pop craftsmanship, and Pulp complimented Dayoung’s charming vocal delivery. Body appeared on several year-end best-of lists and earned nominations at the 2025 MAMA Awards for Best Dance Performance – Female Solo and Song of the Year. Commercially, it peaked at number nine on Melon’s Top 100 and reached the top 20 on Melon’s weekly chart. The song won The Show on September 23, 2025, and a dance challenge went viral with more than 50,000 participants by December 2025.
