This song is sung from a male perspective, expressing the poignant wish, “I don’t want to break up.” It was released in 2015 by Flower, a dance-and-vocal unit that, sadly, disbanded in 2019.

Even when two people start dating because they love each other, sometimes one person’s feelings drift away before you even realize it.

There are many who put on a brave face and accept the breakup, yet are still hung up on it inside, or who have watched mutual love suddenly turn into painful unrequited love.

The wish you can’t say out loud—this song speaks it for you.

When times are tough, give it a listen.
