"Child" is the solo debut single from Korean singer-songwriter and rapper Mark of the boy group NCT 127. It is the first single of SM Station NCT Lab and was released on February 4, 2022. 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. SM announced a new project under SM Station to focus around the boy group NCT. NCT Lab will include solo songs, self-composed tracks and sub-unit work outside of the group's albums. The first song was a solo song from NCT 127 and NCT Dream main rapper Mark. Mark appeared in previous seasons of SM Station on duets, but never as a solo artist. Mark co-wrote the song and has written over 50 songs for NCT and other artists. (Korean - Romanized - English. Italics represent English in the original lyrics.)
