A wistful medium-tempo ballad that overlays thoughts of a dear person, now apart, onto the moon.
Whether separated by a move or various circumstances, or in these times when the pandemic has made it hard to see each other, it’s only natural to feel lonely when you can’t meet.
The onomatopoeic expressions in the lyrics resonate deeply, and together with the gentle voices of the TWICE members, the feelings come through so strongly it almost hurts…
Even when you’re far apart, the feeling of “I’m right by your side” may be a reassuring bond that keeps you connected.
