'Ordinary Song' consists of ordinary ballad song's structure just like the name of the song. It follows the composition of Intro-Verse-Bridge-Chorus-Bridge-Chorus-Primary Bridge-Chorus.
However, the song doesn't sound ordinary at all. At the beginning of the song, in a quiet tone, Lim Chang Jung sings "After folding piled-up laundry and taking a shower to shake off everything, I go out for a drink with my buddy to get rid of useless thoughts in my head." And at the chorus, he shows his emotion explosion with the lyrics "This is the most ordinary song that everyone sings. Please don't cry. Just forget about it as if it is the ordinary lyrics of ordinary song."
Lim Chang Jung wholly expresses his candid feelings about love and parting, showing off his appealing and unaffected voice. As you know, idol singers who emphasize external features are now leading the game in Kpop industry so that Lim Chang Jung's 'Ordinary Song', which has no additives, sounds more special.
On various Korean online music charts, the song is ranked at number one, pushing back top idol groups such as Girls' Generation and 2NE1.
