The lyrics to this song lingered in my heart. It's also a song that gave me strength during hard times. Someday, I want to present a song that will linger in other people's hearts too.

in February 2019
But the lyrics are deep, that's why I picked it. It's also a song that I've covered a little bit. Also it's from my role model IU. [...] I hope that you pay more attention to the lyrics while listening to this song.

in February 2019
Since I liked Taeyeon a lot, I teared up as soon as the song started. I didn't remove it from my playlist for the month. I listened to it and sung it a lot.
