About the Song
“Flower” is the debut solo single by South Korean singer Jisoo, released on March 31, 2023 through YG Entertainment and Interscope as the lead track of her first single album Me. Written by Vince, Teddy, Kush, and VVN, with production by Kush, VVN, and 24, the song blends mid-tempo dance-pop, trap elements, and subtle inspirations from traditional Korean melodies and Caribbean rhythms. Lyrically, it follows the emotional arc of leaving a toxic relationship and reclaiming one’s sense of self—marking Jisoo’s only solo release under YG and Interscope before her departure in December 2023.
“Flower” received strong critical acclaim for its poetic lyrics, fresh production style, and Jisoo’s distinctive vocal color. Commercially, it was a major success, peaking at No. 2 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Korea’s Circle Digital Chart—becoming Jisoo’s first top-ten hit. It reached No. 1 in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam, and landed top-ten positions across Hungary, Indonesia, MENA, and the Philippines. Internationally, it broke new ground by entering the top 40 in both Canada and the U.K., setting a new record for a female K-pop soloist at the time.
The music video, directed by Han Sa-min, premiered alongside the single and presents a cinematic story of heartbreak, vulnerability, and personal rebirth—ending with Jisoo reclaiming her identity with quiet strength. She promoted the song on *Inkigayo* and delivered a standout performance at the Coachella Festival in Indio, California. “Flower” later won several major awards, including Best Music Video and Best Dance Performance at the 2023 MAMA Awards, and Best Digital Song at the 38th Golden Disc Awards.

ABC doremimankeum chakaessdeon na
abc, i used to be as gentle as do-re-mi

but your eyes completely changed — maybe that’s just another part of me

even the days that bloomed so brightly have all become

you and i, burned to a crimson red

i’m fine, but are you okay?

on a pretty day with not a cloud in the sky

only the scent of flowers is left behind

only the scent of flowers is left behind
You and me, mičil deusi tteugeowossjiman
you and me, we were burning madly hot
čeočamhage jisbalpyeojin nae hanappunin raillak
but my one and only lilac was cruelly trampled
nan hayan kkočipčeoreom naraga

because you’re the one who didn’t hold on

falls away from you in the spring rain

kkočhyanggiman namgigo gassdanda
only the scent of flowers is left behind
