Listening points
Yerin Baek's signature clear and pure vocals
Even without belting out flashy high notes, the emotion is conveyed completely. Thanks to a singing style that is effortless and delivered almost as if tossing it out, you find yourself focusing on the voice itself before you know it as you listen. It is a vocalist for whom the expression "immersing you in the atmosphere" suits better than "singing well."
A melody that flows gently and stays by your side for a long time
The chorus flows gently rather than being stimulating or intense. It might feel a bit bland at first, but thanks to that very simplicity, you won't get tired of it and will find yourself listening to it for a long time.
No. 1 on the charts achieved after a long wait
It reached number one on the Melon real-time chart just three hours after its release, and topped several major music charts the following day. With multiple tracks from the album entering the charts simultaneously, it demonstrated the power of a representative hit song that is loved for a long time, rather than just a fleeting popularity.
If you are encountering Yerin Baek for the first time, try listening to this song first. If you put on your earphones on a quiet night and listen to it fully, you will find yourself pressing the play button again before you know it.
