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.
This song was the third song to be released in the Our Beloved BoA season.
The song originally appeared on BoA's seventh studio album, BoA, in 2012. She wrote the lyrics and music for the song in Korean, then translated herself to Japanese. The song was translated to English with Gallant for the cover version.
A live video was released with the song on August 14.
