"The new song diverges sharply from CL’s image as one of South Korea’s most prominent female rappers and eschews her typical aggressive style.

Built for listening to on a hazy summer day, “Lifted” takes a step back from CL’s typical raps, aside from a quick bit at the beginning of the song.

The term "Lifted" means to get high, usually associated with marijuana inhalation.
"The new song diverges sharply from CL’s image as one of South Korea’s most prominent female rappers and eschews her typical aggressive style.

Built for listening to on a hazy summer day, “Lifted” takes a step back from CL’s typical raps, aside from a quick bit at the beginning of the song. Instead, “Lifted” favors a tropical sound with a heavy beat that draws on ‘90s east coast hip-hop." K-Pop fans flooded Twitter after the release torn between praising CL and denouncing her for changing her style to appeal to American audiences.[1]
