What's It To You

“What’s it To You”是作者是自我觉醒的态度和宣言。正如社会学家查尔斯`库利（Charles Horton Cooley）提出的“镜中自我”（Looking-glass self），我们的自我认知很大程度上是建立在他人的反应和评价之上的，就像是通过一面镜子来观察自己。而在埃里克森社会心理发展阶段理论（Erikson's stages of psychosocial development）中，11-19岁的·青春期主要问题就是身份认同和角色混淆。而如何度过“身份危机”（ identity crisis），如何找到自己的身体自我，个性，潜在角色和职业的定位，作者通过歌曲给出了答案。并采样了同样有这样态度的作曲家贝多芬的《贝多芬：第五交响曲（Beethoven·Symphonies No.5 in C Minor）。作者对未来会引领潮流的音乐风格进行分析后，决定以Teen Pop➕kpop作为此歌音乐风格。有了主题后，先进行了beat的创作，作者融入了古典的管弦和风琴（Orchestra ，brass，and Organ）的写作，house的bass，trap的鼓，synth音色的采用，以及口哨，gospel合唱和adlib（whistle and gospel choir）的编排让beat充满了趣味性。再进行的词曲写作，这也是作者第一次尝试和朋友合作rap的写作。是作者对hit song和个人理解融合的第一步，也是作者向外表达的勇敢一步。

"What's it To You" is the author's attitude and declaration of self-awakening. Just as sociologist Charles Horton Cooley put forward the concept of "Looking-glass self", our self-awareness is largely built upon others' reactions and evaluations, much like observing ourselves through a mirror. And in Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, the main issue during adolescence, which ranges from 11 to 19 years old, is identity formation and role confusion. As for how to get through the "identity crisis" and find one's physical self, personality, potential roles, and career orientation, the author has provided answers through this song.

The author also sampled Beethoven's "Beethoven: Symphonies No.5 in C Minor", a work by a composer who had a similar attitude. After analyzing the music styles that would lead the trend in the future, the author decided to adopt Teen Pop + Kpop as the musical style for this song.

Once the theme was set, the creation of the beat began. The author incorporated the writing of classical orchestra, brass, and organ, along with the bass of house music, the drums of trap music, the use of synth timbres, and the arrangements of whistle and gospel choir, which made the beat full of interest. Then came the writing of lyrics and melody. This was also the first time the author attempted to collaborate with friends on rap writing. It was the first step in integrating the understanding of hit songs with personal ideas, as well as a brave step for the author to express herself outwardly.
