I. Introduction
"Tree" (나무) is a digital single from SM Classics Town Orchestra as part of the SM Station Our Beloved BoA season. The singles began launching in July 2020 to celebrate BoA's 20th debut anniversary. This single concluded the season on August 28, 2020.
II. Background & Release
SM Station is a digital music project under SM Entertainment that involves solos or duets from members in existing SM groups, as well as opportunities for singers to experiment in other genres or collaborate with artists inside and outside of SM Entertainment. The project releases a number of singles digitally each year on digital platforms, including streaming audio like Spotify.
To celebrate BoA's 20th anniversary of our debut, a special SM Station season was created, featuring special cover versions of several of BoA's signature songs. Five songs were released over 5 weeks, including a version from SM Classics, the classical division which debuted in June 2020.
SM Classics creates new classical arrangements for popular K-pop songs in partnership with the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra. The first two songs were created in July as part of SM Station Season 4. The orchestral version of Tree is described by SM as beginning with "delicate piano melody arranged by the current arranger Nile Lee and an orchestra sound that gradually becomes rich, maximizing the lyrical atmosphere with a famous pianist and a 46-person orchestra."
The song was the last to be released in Our Beloved BoA and was accompanied with a special video that captured her journey of 20 years.
"Tree" originally appeared on BoA's third studio album, Atlantis Princess, in 2003.
