ILLIT (아일릿) ‘Almond Chocolate’ Special Film

An original Japanese song by the popular girl group ILLIT that portrays a bittersweet love, woven from sweetness and bitterness.

Written as the theme song for the film “I Won’t Fall in Love Just for a Pretty Face,” the track is produced by SEKAI NO OWARI’s Nakajin and Pdogg, known for his work with BTS.

It skillfully captures single-minded devotion to one’s idol, along with the joy and inner conflict their presence brings, and—paired with a light, pop melody—expresses a sweet yet bittersweet youth.

Released in February 2025, this gem of a love song likens the multifaceted charm of one’s bias and the sweet-and-bitter nature of romance to almond chocolate.

Perfect for the Valentine’s season, it’s a down-to-earth depiction of a girl’s feelings in love and a recommended track for anyone who relates to “oshi-katsu.”

Unique expressions appear throughout, such as depicting the inner heart as a hectic cabinet.

Paired with a refreshing sound that feels like a snapshot of youth, the track resonates deeply with listeners.

Also noteworthy are the face-covering hand dance that hints at a trend on social media and the addictive rhythm that mimics the ticking of a clock.
