The video is shot in LA which is a key to what the song is about. There have been a lot of people, in Korea particularly, who have say and have been saying, that IU doesn't need to prove herself by going to the US or Europe. But here she is about to launch her 1st world tour that includes at least 8 stops in the West. 2 in Europe and 6 in the US. She is talking to all her Korean fin Julyans. She spreading herself like Dandylion spores on the wind. She isn't going to settle on smooth ground (i.e. taking the easy way). She says she is a single spore (a soloist). On a different road. Fly high to bloom. (To reach her full potential) If any asks how I'm doing Send them the news "She has become a spore" (she has taken to the wind, flying without wings where she lands nobody knows, meaning how will things turn out no body knows). Follow me, gonna go and win (she will succeed). Follow me, even without wings (on social media etc she will be visible ) I'll fly in the center for everyone to see (like her last 4 indoor concerts in the round, she wont shy away and hide) Where she will be it will be sunny and hot she will need her sun glasses (in the US in July you need sunglasses everywhere). The sky above is blinding. But I'm not afraid of heights at all. (She is not afraid of the risk she is taking. A risk many others are fearful of for her.) I'll fly so close to the scorching sun (she will push the risk factor in order to succeed. ) But she will sit on a cloud (and enjoy the show) And she might cause a little ruckus while she's at it just for fun. (meaning watch out, expectvthe unexpected) The road ahead won't be easy. (She knows that will be hard) But I won't fuss about it (she won't complain or make excuses) This was my choice, it always has been (no one pressured her or said to truely make it you have to make it in the US. It's her choice and always has been. Whatever happens it's on her no one else). The odds of it being easy are zero (acknowledging shevis fully aware of what she is embarking on) Wish you all good luck. I'll even say goodbye May God be with ya See, (she said goodbye) see ya By filming this in the US with American dancers she is establishing a connection to her western audience. It is also interesting that the child looking out at the other kids dancing with IU, and appears to be interested but also a little nervous appears to be of Asian descent. (Meaning could be the child in IU is still a little nervous or when shevwas younger the thought of doing what she is now doing was scary or that she is acknowledging those in Korea who worry about her) the worrying about her however extents to all her fans around the world. At the end she allows the cartoonish IU go has the real IU gets ready to head out

Giant Tweety has grown too big for the cage. Time to be free!❤

For more context on the spore, this was her intro to the song posted (in Korean) on her MV: “In my first self-produced album 'CHAT-SHIRE' in my 20s, I likened my age to a flower. Whether it's colorful flowers or fine flowers. At that time, I believed that it was a flower that would be in full bloom. In my 30s, I realized that there is no reason for everyone in the world to be a flower, and I want to live as a single seed who is alone in the sky. Like a tireless shopper, I want to look around and wander around without a destination, and put a variety of options displayed all over my world in my cart.”

Tweety's been IU Instagram avatar for awhile now.
