WHY is the first solo mini album by Artemis Lai, it was released April 20, 2020. The album has four songs and was well received by the media, taking home one music show win.

Tracklist.

1. Why [Taeyeon's Why].

Lyrics by: Lai.

Produced by: Hyojin.

Why is a vocally powerful, tropical house title track that talks about freedom and the desire to escape a pressuring environment, is a song that symbolizes breaking through your fears and pushing you to become yourself despite all of the hate you can get. Lai wrote this song based on her time while training at SM, with the intent of passing a good message to her fans.

2. Sea, sea [insp. Oh my girl's Dolphin].

Lyrics by: Lai.

Produced by: Hyojin.

Sea, sea is a slower, yet still fun song that talks about going on a trip to the beach and admiring the waves of the sea. The hidden message behind this song is to forget your problems when you're having a good time and to just appreciate the natural things that life offers you that you tend to not mind.

3. Beautiful [insp. Loona's Number 1].

Lyrics by: Lai.

Produced by: EDEN.

Beautiful talks about self esteem and acception, looking into the lyrics, Lai says she's beautiful both inside and out and that one isn't more important than the other and that, in the end, the most important thing is to feel good with yourself.

4. Woman [insp. Chungha's Chica].

Lyrics by: Lai.

Produced by: Hyojin.

The closing song of the album talks about the beauty of women in general, it continues with the whole self love message of the album, now directioning it to the listener, it gives the album an upbeat and happy ending.

Era highlights.

Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique.

Lai just announced the start of summer, it doesn't matter if it isn't summer, it's summer now.

A whole concept, it was so fresh and happy??? A huge contrast to Hyojin's previous dark fest

There was literally nothing to complain, everything was perfect

Actually, there was. Woman would've been a better title track, we all know it, it passes the message and was made for the gays, people still dream about an MV until this very day.

She was so smiley :(( her smile was so wide in every stage!! She indirectly incorporated the song's mood.

She was nervous to be promoting by herself, specially because she was scared of hate comments, but she did great

She released a dance practice for Woman!!! And that's how we keep winning.

Her vocals popped off, she was out there proving why she's the main vocal

And how can she hit those notes while dancing that choreography? A queen indeed.

The backup dancer who dances with her in the choreography actually went viral, people were crazy looking for his sns.

Honestly? This era was just as fresh as the concept, we saw happiness, we saw memes and we saw freedom, happy lai is the best thing in the world <3

Era styling.

Oh, this was summery and fresh.

There was jeans, a lot of jeans. There were also a lot of cute and colorful crop tops :((

Two notable outfits were the red flannel outfit with braids and the blue bomber jacket with space buns, those looks were top tier gorgeous.

As always, KQ please give those stylists a raise!! They're doing god's work.

Her hair was light brown for this era, nothing out of the common but she still looked stunning.
