It's composed by Brown Eyed Girl's leader Je-A. It is a nice duet song that has an (8 beat) new wave sound that was popular during the 1980s. Composer Lee Min Soo (Love; Abracadabra) and lyricist Kim In Na have contributed in creating the song as well. Ga In and Jo Kwon also contributed to the lyrics by telling honest stories of their make-believe marriage life.

8. (+9) Jewelry - Love Story
Score: 473 (before 328)
Genre: Pop Ballad

Album: Jewelry Vol. 6 Repackaged Version Track 2
Watch: MV Live Performance
Comment: Millions of viewers watched Jewelry's tear jerking final performance of long time members Park Jung Ah and Seo In Young last week at SBS Inky Gayo. This week it helped "Love Story", originally on the way out of the top 20, moved up nine spots instead into the top 10. “Love Story” is about a love story between a man and a woman in which they go through different stages in their relationship. The lyrics express the different emotions very well and the melody fits perfectly with the winter atmosphere. Unlike Jewelry’s dance songs, “Love Story” showcases the members’ strong vocal and rap skills. Jewelry will recruit two new members soon. We wish Park Jung Ah and Seo In Young all the successes in their solo careers.

Kim Eun Jung and Ha Joo Yeon will stay in the group with new members replacing Park and Seo. “Love Story” is about a love story between a man and a woman in which they go through different stages in their relationship. The lyrics express the different emotions very well and the melody fits perfectly with the winter atmosphere. Unlike Jewelry’s dance songs, “Love Story” showcases the members’ strong vocal and rap skills. Jewelry has not promoted a ballad track since "Tonight" from their 2nd album. The MV is a compilation of footage focusing on Park Jung Ah and Seo In Young. This week's TV performances will be Park and Seo's last with Jewelry.
