About the Song

《Don’t Wake Me Up》 is a plea to stay in a dream rather than face reality, capturing the desire to remain in a moment that feels too good to be real. Released in 2015 as part of SUPER JUNIOR‘s special album DEVIL under SM Entertainment, the track lingers in that space between sleep and waking, where fantasy feels more appealing than truth. It’s tender, it’s wistful, and it refuses to let go of something beautiful even when you know it can’t last. 《Don’t Wake Me Up》 shows SUPER JUNIOR can express the fragility of holding onto illusions, turning denial into something that feels both heartbreaking and deeply human.
