Do you happen to love 2PM’s Back 2U and Tik Tok? Is miss A’s Break It your favorite song out of their debut mini album? Or have you watched Mnet Made in Wonder Girls and fallen in love with the theme song? Kpoplive presents to you the mastermind behind it all, Tommy Park!
Born and raised in Mountain View, California, Tommy Park is a 23 year old Korean American who has been working for JYP Entertainment for over a year. He co-produced with Park JinYoung 2PM’s hit single, Without U, as well as Don’t Stop Can’t Stop and Thank You; and is responsible for the remixes of Again and Again, Heartbeat, and the acoustic version of Only You.
He has also produced miss A’s Break It, 2PM’s Tik Tok and Back 2U. Out of these songs the closest to his heart is Back 2U, which is about a man who is in a relationship with a “perfect” woman but still all he thinks about is his past love. Based on a personal experience, the message the song portraits is simply that these things can happen, even though no one wants their boyfriend or girlfriend to think about their ex, it doesn’t necessarily mean their boyfriend or girlfriend are bad, as they don’t want to be thinking about their past either.
“The reality of it all is that love doesn’t always happen the way we want it to happen. I think that this song touches many people in many ways because it expresses exactly how many of us feel but are too scared to admit or confess”, said Tommy who has recently been garnering attention for his song, We Ride, which is the theme song of Mnet Made in Wonder Girls.
We Ride was written back in January 2009 before he joined JYPE, also a song from a personal experience and meant to be for 2PM, but it was rejected. When the producer of Mnet Made in Wonder Girls, Mark PD, met Park, he asked him to write some songs for the show and the opportunity came for We Ride to be heard by thousands.
Although you can only hear about a minute of the song on the opening credits of the show, fans have fallen in love with it, continuously asking Park to release a full version. Therefore, to show his gratitude for the unexpected support he has received, he released the full version of We Ride on his YouTube channel with a video made by a talented French Wonder Girls’ fan.
