Amongst the collaborators you’ll find Mads Damsgaard Kristiansen from Reptile Youth, and Simon Torp Littauer who also worked with MØ, First Hate, Kill J and Soleima.
The songwriting of M.I.L.K. harks back to the time of 70s soul pioneers such as Curtis Mayfield and Sly Stone, but most certainly hints at more modern electronic acts such as Jungle, Rhye or Blood Orange when it comes to production and overall expression.

2. M.I.L.K. (also simply MILK) is a 4-member group made of members Hyun Jin, Jae Young, Bomi, and Yumi.
The group's name is an acronym standing for Made In Lovely Kin. However, this seems to be an Engrish error -- they were probably aiming for the word "loving" rather than "lovely."
Prior to the formation of MILK, three out of the four members had previously done work with SM Entertainment. Jae Young, Bomi, and Yumi had all appeared in music videos of SM Entertainment artists. Out of those three, Bomi had done the most and had already made a name for herself amongst the fanbase for her music video appearances.
MILK was produced by H.O.T's Moon Hee Jun. In late 2001, they released their first album under BM Entertainment. However, because they were promoted so much by SM Entertainment, even participating in the SM Town seasonal albums, most fans considered them an unofficial part of SM.
After promotion of their first album ended, the group continued to do work with the rest of SM Town in their seasonal albums, but by summer 2003, the only one appearing from the group was Hyun Jin. Rumors and speculation flew about the status of the group, some reporting that a second album was on the way and some saying that the group had broken up. With no official news from the company and with their peer groups, BlackBeat, Shinvi, and Isak N Jiyeon in similar states of limbo, it was difficult to determine whether or not the group was dead for sure. However when the news was announced in 2004 that Yumi had signed with a different company, even the most devoted fans had to admit that the group would most likely not return.
Currently, Hyun Jin, Jae Young (now going by the name of Hee Bon), and Bomi are still signed with SM Entertainment. Yumi is with SUM Entertainment.

M.I.L.K. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′m hungry for the change
Float away with me baby
I know you feel the same
Let me chase away the shadows
And paint a happy smile across your face, bae
Like the birds leave for summer
Somewhere with space
Following the sun
Down where we belong
Summertime has come
But we have just begun
Float away with me baby
I′m longing for the sea
Float away with me baby
You know we could be
We could float accross the ocean
And stop at every coast
Along the way, bae
Set the world in motion
And go before it all will be too late
Following the sun
Down where we belong
Summertime has come
And we have just begun

Float away with me baby
Escape with me from our current reality
I'm hungry for the change
Yearning for something new and different
I know you feel the same
Believing that our feelings are mutual
Let me chase away the shadows
Allow me to eliminate the negative aspects of our lives
And paint a happy smile across your face, bae
Brighten your mood with positivity and hope
Like the birds leave for summer
Like birds migrating for a better place
Let's find a better beach
Let's explore and discover new, fulfilling experiences
Somewhere with space
Somewhere less crowded and more tranquil
Following the sun
Embracing new beginnings and opportunities
Down where we belong
Where we feel most at home and happiest
Summertime has come
A time for warmth and happiness
But we have just begun
Our journey has just started and there's so much to experience
I'm longing for the sea
Craving for exploration and adventure
You know we could be
We're capable of achieving our dreams
We could float across the ocean
We can be free to journey to new horizons
And stop at every coast
Experience every opportunity without hesitation
Along the way, bae
The journey itself is important and sweet
Set the world in motion
Paint a positive impact on the world
And go before it all will be too late
Time is of the essence - embark on the journey before it's too late
