Lookin’ Back: Jin – Senorita

I was abroad for a business trip this week and found myself with a layover in Miami and funny enough, this one phrase kept repeating in my head “We in the m-i m-i, mami, am i am i” and I couldn’t recall where it’s from. Then it struck me, it’s from Jin’s single “Senorita” off his debut album! It’s already been 6 years since Jin’s major label debut with Ruff Ryders, and a whole lot has changed for Jin since then. He’s grown a lot since this song, musically, lyrically, and perhaps most relevantly, spiritually – so I doubt he’d ever do a track like this again. The song wasn’t great, and had very little impact but it was a reflection of a younger Jin with different priorities. But I can’t say it’s not moderately catchy!

*Note: I believe FM makes a cameo in the video, though they aren’t really visible. If memory serves me correctly they are in the background of the beach party scene at the end.
