I Became a Top 0.25% Jiselle Listener Without Realizing It
This started very casually — I was just listening to music in the background without paying much attention.
I wasn’t searching for anything specific, and I wasn’t trying to follow any particular artist. It was just one of those moments where music runs naturally in the background of daily life.
Later, when I checked my YouTube Music recap, I noticed something surprising:
I was ranked in the Top 0.25% of Jiselle listeners.
At first, I didn’t even realize I had been listening to her music that much. Interestingly, it wasn’t only her — there were also several other artists appearing in similar patterns in my listening history.
Maybe I’m not really choosing the music… maybe the music is choosing me.
This is the moment I first realized it:
It shows my YouTube Music recap where I unexpectedly became a Top 0.25% Jiselle listener.
This wasn’t something I planned or tracked intentionally. It only became clear when I saw how much her music had naturally become part of my listening behavior.
The track behind this experience is: “Only U (Original ver.)” by Moon Sujin & Jiselle.
Even though this is a collaboration, it doesn’t feel like a typical “main artist + featured artist” structure. Instead, it feels more like a shared musical conversation.
Their voices blend and respond to each other in a very natural way, almost as if they are speaking through the music rather than performing separately.
The song has a soft R&B atmosphere — emotional, smooth, and layered. It doesn’t hit suddenly; instead, it slowly settles into your listening mood.
- One voice leads the main melody
- The other responds or supports with harmony
- They continuously switch roles throughout the track
It feels less like a finished performance and more like an ongoing dialogue.
After watching some behind-the-scenes material, I learned that the recording process was very professional.
They did not record together in the same studio space as the MV might suggest. Instead, each vocalist recorded their parts separately in a studio, focusing fully on their own performance.
This is a very common and professional music production method.
In the MV, they appear together in the same space — sitting, interacting, and sharing small natural moments. There are even casual details like sharing McDonald’s fries, which makes the atmosphere feel very relaxed and human.
Knowing the recording process was separate makes this contrast even more interesting.
The production is professional and structured, while the visual presentation is soft and casual.
And somehow, these two layers merge into one experience.
This song slowly became part of my daily life.
I often listen to it while driving, at home through YouTube on TV, or simply as background music.
Sometimes I don’t even actively choose it — YouTube’s recommendation system keeps bringing it back.
It creates a loop:
I listen → YouTube learns → it recommends again → I listen again
Even when I play other songs, “Only U” sometimes appears again in autoplay. It feels like it naturally stays inside my listening flow.
Looking back, this song is no longer just music.
It became part of a larger pattern — habit, algorithm, and emotion working together.
Music is not always something we actively choose. Sometimes, it simply stays with us.
For me, this song represents that feeling:
I’m not just listening to it — it is happening inside my daily life.
