Was ZE:A’s “Phoenix” originally meant for SHINee?

Was ZE:A’s “Phoenix” originally meant for SHINee?

The composer forZE:A‘s “Phoenix“,Albi Albertsson, released his demo version for the song.

The vocal guide for the demo version is in English instead of ZE:A’s Korean, and the title ‘V2 Original Demo’ seems to hint that this was the song while in its beginning stages. One of the most noticeable parts of the song is that near the beginning, around the 0:13 mark, the vocal guide seems to say, ‘SHINee. We’re back‘, hinting that the song might have been originally meant for SHINee. In ZE:A’s song, at the same point they instead say, “ZE:A. We’re back“.

Listen to the demo version below. What do you think the song would have sounded like it was sung bySHINeeinstead?
