It’s a solo track sung by Joy, who is also known as a member of the girl group Red Velvet.
The lyrics depict a woman who spends her days feeling sad gradually becoming more positive.

Ring Ring RingVERIVERY
If you wake up feeling happy, it seems like you’ll have a good day, right? With that in mind, I’d like to recommend “Ring Ring Ring.” It’s a track released by VERIVERY, a boy group that debuted in 2019.
Set to a mid-tempo sound, it conveys the message that “because you have someone you love, you can spend your morning feeling happy.” If you set it as your alarm, it’ll remind you of that special person every morning.
Another recommendation point is that it uses onomatopoeia reminiscent of an alarm clock.
Shining BrightCSR
Let me introduce “Shining Bright,” a song that evokes a refreshing morning sun.
It’s a track by the girl group CSR, who debuted in 2022, and it’s included on their album DELIGHT.
Set to an exhilarating, fast-paced sound, the song expresses an exciting sense of anticipation for the future, comparing a radiant future—and oneself—to the sun.
Listening to it will leave you feeling refreshed and positive.
I hope you’ll listen to it while feeling the morning sunlight.
