He was worried that fans would “get bad thoughts” due to the melancholic nature of the song, but was relieved to hear that fans loved it, and that it “reduce[d] their burdens inside.” Their words meant a lot to him, and he expressed how the song and its feedback made him feel like an artist.

So for the first time in my life, I felt like being an artist.

For Taeyong, the process of making a song is like writing in his diary. It’s an intimate and personal message for himself and others.

It’s a song about what I wanted to say to you or to myself or to people living in this era. It’s also a song that contains what I felt, what I want to do, and what I want to say.
