IU has changed the title of her pre-release single titled 'Love Wins'.
The singer-songwriter revealed the teaser poster for her upcoming pre-release single featuring BTS' V, and though the collaboration definitely raised excitement, the title of her single also raised some concern. Controversy arose as the phrase "Love Wins" has been a slogan in pride parades for sexual minorities, and critics stated the choice of song title was inappropriate and diluted its original meaning. Still others said it didn't interfere with the general message of love triumphing over all.
IU's label EDAM Entertainment has now released a new teaser poster with the single's new title 'Love Wins All'. The label stated, "We decided to change the title to respect and support everyone who loves in their various ways, and we accept the opinions of those who express concerns that precious messages might be blurred due to the title."
Read EDAM Entertainment's full statement below, and let us know what you think of the new title.
Unbelievable she had to do that, no-one has the rights to a short and very common phrase like that, and I've never heard of it being associated with Pride marches. It's as bad as someone trying to trademark the rainbow, or causing issues because someone puts a rainbow on their album cover.
