A representative stated,


“‘Roly Poly in Copacabana’ was scheduled to be released at 9 PM but due to fans’ requests and the fact that we delayed the release of the previous music video’s part 2, we decided to release the song in advance to thank the fans for their support.

The ‘Roly Poly in Copacabana’ music video is taking some time because it was filmed separately and is being edited to meet the standard of perfection.“

The new music video was filmed in a way to remind 40-50 year olds of their memorable school days and the memories of their vacations. In the concept photos, the girls are found wearing school uniforms and red sweats. It has been said that much effort was put into the making of the song in order to revive the music style of the time and the instruments that they used.
