It's all or nothing for K-pop idol Hwasa as she drops the latest music video for her album and title track, “Maria.”

In the four-minute video, the MAMAMOO singer dabbles into themes of moving past self-doubt and public judgment thus transcending into the idol that she is today.

In a separate interview, Hwasa revealed that like her first solo track “Twit,” “Maria” has some underlying meaning behind its upbeat melody.

Saying, “Since I was young, I've always loved and thought that life is similar to a song that is both happy and sad.

It was reported that Hwasa participated in the composition of the lyrics for the track along with producer Park Woo-sang.

As of this writing, “#HwasaMaria” has already gained the #1 trending spot in Philippine Twitter with fans going gaga over the released music video.
