Music video
The music video for the promotional track, Luv Talk and Xīn fàng kāi (心放开) begin on a deceptively melancholy note with a teary Ferlyn perched on a bridge and dramatic piano instrumental playing behind her, the song soon ramps up the atmosphere with a full brass tone and hip rhythm. The story flashes back to an unpleasant conversation Ferlyn has with an unknown man. However, after being down, she transforms herself into a new self with a change in make up and outfit.{{cite web|url=http://www.koreaboo.com/video/ferlyn-g-drops-chinese-korean-luv-talk-mvs-ft-tiny-gs-mint/|title=Ferlyn G drops Chinese + Korean "Luv Talk" MVs ft.
