VIVIZ ensnared in the labyrinth of love’s game in “MANIAC,” the title track of their fourth mini-album, VERSUS. The lyrics explore the bittersweet agony of unrequited affection and the wounds inflicted in the name of love. Despite the pain, there is a glimmer of acceptance that love remains an irresistible force.

The accompanying music video captures the kaleidoscope of emotions that define human relationships. Through vibrant transitions and a captivating narrative, VIVIZ’s expressive performances draw viewers into their world of love, loss, and the enduring bonds of friendship.

Before the album was released, there was discussion about what the leading track of the mini-album should’ve been. According to an interview, VIVIZ picked “Untie” since it would create a stage that would leave a strong impression– UMJI said. However, their label picked “MANIAC” because they said VIVIZ would be able to showcase another charm on stage that fans had never seen before. It ends up with “MANIAC” as the title track and “Untie” as the subtitle track.

It seems like the label made the right choice. “MANIAC” has captivated fans and casual listeners alike with its addictive chorus and mesmerizing choreography, crafted by the visionary Kany, elevating the song to new heights and propelling it to become VIVIZ’s most successful release since their debut.
