Memories may fade with time, but when we’re feeling anxious, it’s those memories that give us strength.
The song encourages us to live on with the happiness we felt back then held close in our hearts.
It may especially resonate with those who have been separated from a close friend.

A masterpiece that Jimin took part in writing and composing, which was completed together with producer Bang Si-hyuk from its once-unfinished form.
It sings about the friendship between Jimin and V, who moved up to Seoul and attended the same school, and were very close.
The two of them are beloved as the unit “95s.” With lyrics about memories with friends, it’s a song that makes you feel the future—vowing to spend even more intense time together than before, even while clashing at times.
The passionate, wish-filled delivery in the chorus is especially powerful!

This work is packed with the charm of Candy Shop, a five-member Korean girl group.
You can feel the positive resolve to keep looking forward and moving ahead.

Coffee Boy, known for his gentle singing voice, created “I Will Be on Your Side (내가 니편이 되어 줄게)” with crystal-voiced Na Haeun.
The song encourages a friend who’s feeling anxious, telling them they don’t need to worry about anything.
Why not use it as a message of support for a friend who’s far away? Also, it’s worth noting that the track has been getting renewed attention after being featured in a popular drama.
November 1Epik High
Epik High’s “November 1st” is a sad yet beautiful song that sings of the pain of losing a dear friend.
We don’t often get many chances to say things like “thank you” or “I love you” to our close friends, do we? Listening to this song makes you want to express your gratitude to the friends you cherish.
My Buddy (기억해)GFRIEND
From its dazzling intro, this is a refreshingly poppy track that feels quintessentially GFRIEND.
It’s a fan song filled with love for BUDDY, the collective name for GFRIEND’s fans, and at the same time a piece that paints a picture of sunlit friendship.
The warm atmosphere that GFRIEND and BUDDY create together at live shows evokes a bright, clear future, as if we’re walking hand in hand.
It’s a masterpiece that never fails to move you, bringing to mind those friends who look out for you even in tough times.
