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.
Seasonal collections of winter songs were an ongoing tradition for SM. This season, SM Station x 4 LOVEs for Winter, was described as songs of "winter" and "love." Although four songs were announced and promoted, only three were released, including a promotional song with UNICEF. This season also included a special promotional trailer and photos featuring NCT's Jaehyun, who appears on one of the songs for the season.
The first single of the season, "This Is Your Day" was inspired by an idea of Siwon of Super Junior, the first UNICEF ambassador to the East Asia-Pacific region in Korea. SM artists, including soloists and members of popular groups, participated on the song, which was described as "a piano-based pop ballad with dynamic chord progression." The track was released to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the UN's World Children's Day and the UN Convention on the rights of Children in collaboration with UNICEF. Proceeds were donated to Smile for U, a children's music education program launched by SM and UNICEF in 2016, and used to support music education programs for children, adolescents and children with disabilities in Vietnam.
The lyrics to the song were written by SM's renowned songwriter Yoo Young-jin, who wrote many well-known songs, including H.O.T. "전사의 후예(폭력시대) (Warrior's Descendant)", EXO's "Mama", TVXQ "Rising Sun" and Super Junior "Sorry Sorry." BoA, J-Min, Siwon, Sunny from Girls' Generation, Taemin from SHINee, Suho from EXO, Wendy from Red Velvet and Doyoung from NCT participated on the song.
