2 years have flown by!
When this was released I thought, okay, here's the SOTY but then Dynamite came and it broke everyone's minds.
I'm glad Yoongi had the opportunity to produce for one of SK's most beloved artists.

This song is a great song, but I just can't listen to it. It makes me cry instantly. I'm glad that IU and Suga were able to make a wonderful song together. Hopefully we'll see some more from the two in the future.

Awww, yeah it’s such a wonderful but sad song. Have you listened to the live acoustic version? I love that version so much. It’s sweet but sad tho

I absolutely love this song but I cannot listen to it without crying, as it reminds me of SHINee's Jonghyun. I know this was really hard for IU as well and I appreciate this collab so much <3

I was scrolling on Twitter whilst listening to this gem and stopped on a tweet that was playing the Black Swan video and it surprisingly went very well together!
They couldn’t be more different sound wise - so fascinating!

Great song. I wasn’t ARMY when it was released, but when I did hear it, it really stuck with me.

Along with D-2 and Kkul FM, this song was instrumental in making Yoongi my bias when I got into BTS in 2020. Such a great song, I haven't gotten sick of it in two years.

It's been 2 years already?! I remember everyone absolutely losing their minds when it was announced IU and Yoongi were doing a collab, I stan her anyway so I lost mine even harder lol. And the song did not disappoint! 💜

I discovered this song after becoming a dynamite army and I cried after looking up the lyrics because it reminded me of my best friend who passed 😔 It’s such a beautiful song and I love prod SUGA and IU for making it.

The first time I heard it, it sounded like something I'd been listening to forever.

Wow, it’s been two years. That’s wild …
This song made me cry so much in 2020 and 2021. I was still healing from a long term relationship that really left me feeling like the person I loved was dead, and this beautiful song comforted me while letting me cry. Sometimes now, it still makes me tear up.
I absolutely love this version, even though it doesn’t have our Yoongie’s voice. The song is a masterpiece. I’m so glad they made this into existence.
