“Need U” (Hangul: 니드 유) is the third track from LOONA’s special summer mini album Flip That.

Description

• English
• Korean

A modern pop/R&B track that impresses with sentimental piano theme and repeating guitar patterns, the track contains the smoothly persuasive vocals that LOONA can show off. A calmly progressing chorus melody and rhythmical track express a heartfelt gratitude to a precious presence that always lends strength even during a loop of dark days, and imparts a message of “I will always be waiting” for those whom one is thankful for.

감성적인 피아노 테마와 반복적인 기타 패턴이 인상적인 Modern Pop/RnB 곡으로, 이달의 소녀가 보여줄 수 있는 부드러운 호소력의 보컬을 담고 있다. 담담하게 전개되는 후렴구 멜로디와 리드미컬한 트랙은 매일 반복되어 온 어두운 상황 속에서도 항상 힘이 되어 주는 소중한 존재에 대한 감사함을 진심으로 표현하고 감사한 사람들에게 언제까지나 기다릴 것이라는 메시지를 전하고 있다.
