여자가수 뮤비중에 다 통틀어서 젤로 사랑하는 뮤비임 자연스러움 아름다움에 패션감각에 반짝반짝 빛나는 가끔 미에 홀리고 싶을때 찾는 뮤비

@sirkim5425

이곡이 진짜 효리 찐 스타일인데.. 사람들이 잘모르더라. 내일발매되도 1위할듯

@Nana-mi9fx

원곡이 따로 있어요~~!

@user-xb6nk1lx2i

이효리는 하나도 촌스러운게 없네ㅜㅜ 진짜 세련되고 예쁘다 😍

@ahyounglee626

우리나라에서 선글라스가 제일 잘 어울리는 연예인

@user-lo8rj6oi7f

놀토 보고 왔습니다
조낸 힙하다 힙해 저시절의 힙은 왜 지금까지도 통용되는가 노래 좋당

@arrrowa

이노래 나왔을때 부터 지금까지 봐도 트렌디 그 자체임. 진짜 노래부터 뮤비까지 세련 그자체

@rami00

팬영상같기도하고 지오다노 CF영상 같기도 한 이뮤비는 볼때마다 나도 같이 그시절로 돌아간것같아서 심장이 뛴다.
나시와 보잉선글라스 쓰고 씩웃던 그 시절의 효리가 아직도 생생하네

@shsj7886

이 뮤비 너무 좋았어 빛이난다 이효리

@Nana-mi9fx

이 뮤비에서 촌스러운건 애니콜 핸드폰 밖에 없네... 중학생때 이 뮤비에 빠져 청핫팬츠를 입고 층낸머리를 하고 하트핀으로 반묶음을 했었는데... 내 나이 어느덧 서른... ㅜㅜ 근데 다시봐도 너무 예쁘다
