In a desperate voice, BANG YE DAM sings, ‘I want to ask the sky yeah/What did you mean by loving me/You’re the only thing I don’t have in my world/I feel like I lost it all/To me/Why why why/Why can’t I be without you/Why why why/Just tell me why can’t I be/Why can’t we be’, expressing the narrator’s sadness and loneliness of not being able to accept his breakup situation realistically.
Regarding the new song, BANG YE DAM explained, “The sad melody and lyrics touched me as soon as I heard the demo. I focused on the lyrics rather than trying to sing well from start to end, and also put emphasis on making my emotions stand out”. He also introduced, “Please pay attention to the loneliness of the guitar beginning on the intro, catchy chorus, and my vocals. I’ll show you my better side as I’ve prepared this song for quite a long time”.
