Listening to this song makes you look at yourself objectively and want to write a letter to your grown-up self.

It’s a song you sing while praying that your future self will be happy, so it’s one I’d like you to listen to alone, slowly and carefully, when you’re feeling a little blue.

Step and a stepNiziU

NiziU(니쥬) Debut Single『Step and a step』MV

NiziU’s memorable debut single, also known for being produced by J.Y.

Park.

Released in December 2020, it garnered attention as the song used in Lotte’s “Fit’s” commercial.

It carries a warm message of “It’s okay to move at your own pace,” offering a comforting charm that’s different from the upbeat vibe of their pre-debut track “Make you happy.” It’s a song we especially want high school students to hear—those who tend to feel rushed while studying for exams or are struggling with club activities that aren’t yielding the results they hoped for.

Even if you don’t force yourself to run, taking one step at a time is enough—their voices will give you a gentle push forward.

When it comes to Official HIGE DANDism, it has to be this song, Pretender.

Even if you’ve never experienced a love like this, don’t you feel that swell of emotion and grasp the sadness so clearly when you listen? It’s a sad love song, but it powerfully conveys the importance of loving someone—the overwhelming, irreplaceable feeling that nothing can substitute—making it a tear-jerking love song.
