🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation
This song is a remake of a classic 1998 hit by Park Ji-yoon, reinterpreted with TWICE’s signature bright energy. The lyrics express the deep regret of someone who realized the value of a lover only after letting them go. It depicts a sorrowful yet hopeful plea for a second chance, apologizing for past mistakes and childish pride, while confessing that her heart still belongs entirely to him.
