It’s an unrequited love song sung by a girls’ band.
It feels like a very pure kind of affection, maybe from their school days.
The song doesn’t have any big twists or anything, but it still draws you in.
It has a slow, relaxed vibe.

In contrast to the passionate Latin rhythm delivered by Porno Graffitti, what unfolds is a heartbreakingly bittersweet tale of unrequited love.
At first, simply “meeting you was enough,” but somewhere along the way, the wish to be “loved” took hold, and the whole world changed.
Chasing after the other, who flutters like a beautiful butterfly, they seem like a desert oasis—always out of reach.
Knowing they can never have them, the protagonist aches for love as if thirsting for moisture, their anguished cry pressing upon the heart.
Released in June 2001, this million-selling track was also featured in a cosmetics commercial.
When you’re suffering from a love that won’t be returned and can no longer suppress the feeling of “wanting to be loved,” this is a song that stays close to that helpless pain.
