The group consists of Park Gyuri, Han Seungyeon, Goo Hara and Heo Youngji. Former members include Kim Sunghee, Nicole Jung, and Kang Jiyoung. They were originally a four member group where they were marketed as the second Fin.K.L, however Kim Sung Hee withdrew from the group and was replaced with Jiyoung and Hara.

The song "Love Is" by Kara expresses the pain and confusion that comes with being in love. The lyrics talk about how love can be so painful and difficult to deal with, but that it's still worth holding onto. The first stanza talks about how even when love hurts, we still try to hold onto it. The lines, "Even if it hurts so much that it's suffocating, we just gasp for air and keep walking" express the idea that even if we're struggling to keep going, we still do. The next stanza talks about how we can't always be honest about our feelings in love, as sometimes it feels like lying is the only way to keep someone close. The lines, "Even if we're shopping without any real feelings, sometimes we still laugh and look happy" show that sometimes we fake happiness to keep the ones we love close.
Throughout the song, the repeated lines of "Just oh my love" show that no matter what happens, love is still important and worth fighting for. The bridge talks about how painful it is to wait for someone, whether it's waiting for them to come back or waiting for them to love us back. The lines, "If you tell me to wait, I will wait. If you tell me to leave, I can't do it" show that even though waiting can be painful, it's better than giving up on love altogether. The final stanza talks about how love can bring so much joy, even when it hurts. The repeated lines of "I cry everyday cause love you" show that love can be overwhelming, but it's still worth it.
Overall, "Love Is" reflects the complexity and difficulty of love, but also shows that it's worth fighting for.
