When it comes to winter songs that capture a down-to-earth love—the kind where you want to close the distance with your crush because of the biting cold—this is the one.

Singer-songwriter Aogumo, who has been gaining attention on social media since their 2024 debut, wrote it in the winter of their seventeenth year.

Since its digital-only release in November 2025, it’s resonated with many, finding its way into TikTok posts and more.

While following in the vein of the previous track, “The Title Isn’t Decided Yet,” it delivers an even more seasonally rich, bittersweet sound.

The lyrics are especially noteworthy for giving you the courage to seek warmth in a freezing season and say “I like you.” It’s a heartwarming pop tune sprinkled with winter magic, one we especially hope those grappling with the frustrations of unrequited love will hear.

With highly relatable lyrics that make you want to see the person you like, it’s a song you’ll want to listen to closely.
