One of the members, Lee Dae-hwi, has been actively involved in music production, having worked on IZ*ONE’s songs even before debut.

It’s included on their third album, Pink Revolution, released in 2016.
It’s a soothing ballad with warm vocals and a comforting melody, and the lyrics dwell on the importance of memories.
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.

Its melody line is filled with wishes for friendship and reunion, and the gentle vocals resonate with the heart.
The track is included on B1A4’s album “Who Am I,” recorded in January 2014, and was composed by Lee Gi-yong Bae and member Baro.
The album “Who Am I” topped the music charts, and this song remains beloved by fans even now, at the time of writing, when the group has three members.
It’s a perfect, heartwarming message song for those who treasure friendship despite busy days or who are thinking of friends they’ve been separated from.

The message is: “Even if challenges await us, let’s face them together.” The song includes sections where you count and shout call-and-response parts, so it’s likely to be a blast at karaoke.

A track released in November 2018.

With its warm melody, it’s a gentle song that feels like a supportive push on your back.
Try listening to it while thinking of your dearest chingu or someone important to you.
