About the Song
《Closer》 captures the earnest longing of a pure-hearted girl through a dreamlike chord progression, atmospheric instrumentation, and a melancholic melody that gently pulls the listener inward. Released in 2015 by OH MY GIRL under WM Entertainment, the song stands out on their self-titled debut mini album for its emotional depth and refined storytelling. Crafted by composer Sean Alexander alongside American ballad top-liner Laura Brien, and elevated by the distinctive lyrics of Seo Ji-eum, 《Closer》 reaches a higher level of completion. The track’s ethereal mood is anchored by YooA’s captivating mid-low vocal tone, while OH MY GIRL’s rich vocal colors envelop the song with emotional intensity, and the story finds its poignant conclusion through rapper Mimi’s self-written verse, leaving a lingering sense of yearning in the listener’s heart.

MILKY WAY IS ON
You shine brightly, though feeling lonely
Among many stars
The place that resembles you
I wish to gather them in the sky
And shine them on you
Dreaming of longing for you
And if I long for you
Will we be able to meet?
You’re always in the same place, MUSE ON
You’re wandering
MILKY WAY IS ON
I’M CLOSER, I’M CLOSER
an-seo de-ryeo-ga jwo TO YOU
I’M CLOSER, I’M CLOSER
Hold me and take me to you
the lyrics follow a quiet longing that moves **closer** step by step, turning distance into hope rather than despair. wishing on stars and tracing familiar places in the sky becomes a way to survive waiting, while dreams stretch through late nights without losing their direction. the heart keeps reaching, believing that patience, memory, and devotion will eventually align, and that longing itself can be a path toward connection in the vast **milky way** of emotion.
