On January 4, 2022, it climbed up to 3rd on the worldwide iTunes chart. #Ruby and #Woozi trended on Twitter globally minutes after the song dropped, showcasing the impact the song had on fans all over the world.
“Ruby” is about being attracted to another person. Woozi uses symbols such as rubies, the jewel to capture how much brightness his fans bring into his life. He also refers to the color red in the lyrics “pass me a coke zero to calm down, oh, this is red too” to refer back to the jewel. In the music video, the lighting is also red to add to the symbolization of Ruby. By using the Ruby Woozi put importance on Rubies since they are red and red signifies love. He expresses his love for his supporters through symbolism. In the lyrics he says “pass me a coke zero to calm down” causing coke zero to trend in the Food topic of twitter and his own members and fans to make jokes about him drinking coke to calm down. Now whenever fans come across a picture in which Woozi looks mad, they comment “someone give him a coke zero” on Weverse because it “calms him down” and it’s his favorite drink.
The lyrics and cinematography for the music video and the band session video mesh well which is why the song rose on the charts.
