‘Darae - Where Are You’
A heartfelt and sorrowful ballad, [Where Are You], has been released, expressing the longing for someone who will never come despite calling out to them countless times.
‘I will cry my heart out in your arms and then forget you..’
This special song is meant to comfort listeners who are going through a breakup, blending Darae’s unique comforting voice and powerful vocals with lyrics that convey the sorrow of wanting to see someone one last time, even though it is impossible.
The included track ‘The Day We Part’ is another warm and emotional breakup ballad, personally written and composed by the artist Darae, offering a different feel from the title track with its distinctive comforting and lyrical tone.
‘The farewell that bloomed like flowers that day’
This beautiful song aims to portray the moment of parting beautifully, reflecting that what remains after a breakup are the memories of happy days.
The second album [Where Are You] includes composition and arrangement by Aiming Music’s producer Soobin Kim, who has created numerous hits for artists like M.C the Max, Gummy, Big Mama, Monday Kiz, Changsub Lee, N.Flying, Suho, NCT 127’s Taeil, Ha Eun, Noel, Yongjae Shin, Punch, MeloMance, Baekhyun, and more. Additionally, the orchestration by Aim Strings, the top string ensemble in Korea, elevates the album’s quality to the highest level.

Lyrics #
제발 너를 그만 사랑하고 싶어 (Jebal neoreul geuman saranghago sipeo)
I want to stop loving you, please
행복하자 말해놓고 난 왜 이럴까 (Haengbokhaja malhaenoko nan wae ireolkka)
I said let’s be happy, so why am I like this?
너무 따뜻했던 너의 모습 자꾸 떠올라 (Neomu ttatteuthaetdeon neoui moseub jakku tteoolla) I keep recalling your very warm image
잠이 오질 않아 너무 보고싶어 (Jami ojil ana neomu bogosipeo)
I can’t sleep, I miss you so much
너는 지금 뭐해 잠깐 네가 필요해 (Neoneun jigeum mwohae jamkkan nega piryohae)
What are you doing now? I need you for a moment
네게 안겨 실컷 울고 다시 널 잊을게 (Nege angyeo silkeot ulgo dasi neol ijeulge)
I’ll cry to my heart’s content in your arms and then forget you
이렇게 살아 뭐해 (Ireoke sara mwohae)
What’s the point of living like this?
눈을 감아도 떠오르는 오직 한 사람 (Nuneul gamado tteooreuneun ojik han saram)
The only one that comes to mind even when I close my eyes
헤어질 수가 없어 (Heeojil suga eopseo)
I can’t part from you
비가 오는 날엔 네가 꼭 생각나 (Biga oneun nalen nega kkok saenggangna)
I always think of you on rainy days
빗물처럼 울었었던 그때 그날 같아 (Bitmulcheoreom ureosseo tteon geuttae geunal gata)
It feels like that day when I cried like the rain
너무 따뜻했던 네 목소리 자꾸 떠올라 (Neomu ttatteuthaetdeon ne moksori jakku tteoolla)
I keep recalling your very warm voice
미친 사람처럼 네가 보고싶어 (Michin saramcheoreom nega bogosipeo)
I miss you like a crazy person
너는 지금 뭐해 잠깐 네가 필요해 (Neoneun jigeum mwohae jamkkan nega piryohae)
What are you doing now? I need you for a moment
네게 안겨 실컷 울고 다시 널 잊을게 (Nege angyeo silkeot ulgo dasi neol ijeulge)
I’ll cry to my heart’s content in your arms and then forget you
이렇게 살아 뭐해 (Ireoke sara mwohae)
What’s the point of living like this?
눈을 감아도 떠오르는 오직 한 사람 (Nuneul gamado tteooreuneun ojik han saram)
The only one that comes to mind even when I close my eyes
헤어질 수가 없어 (Heeojil suga eopseo)
I can’t part from you
나에게서 너를 지우면 (Naegeseo neoreul ji-umyeon)
If I erase you from me
그땐 나는 아무 의미 없어 (Geuttaen naneun amu uimi eopseo)
Then I have no meaning
네가 없이는 나는 안되겠어 (Nega eopsineun naneun andoegesseo)
I can’t go on without you
기다리고 또 기다리면 언젠가는 돌아와줄까 (Gidarigo tto gidarimyeon eonjenganeun dorawajulkka) If I wait and wait, will you come back someday?
눈부시게 빛나는 사람 (Nunbusige bitnaneun saram)
The person who shines so brightly
너만 그리워해 (Neoman geurihwae)
I only miss you
바보처럼 잡지 못하고 눈물만 흘려 왜 (Babocheoreom japji mothago nunmulman heullyeo wae)
Why do I only cry, unable to hold you like a fool?
너는 지금 뭐해 (Neoneun jigeum mwohae)
What are you doing now?
눈을 감아도 떠오르는 오직 한 사람 (Nuneul gamado tteooreuneun ojik han saram)
The only one that comes to mind even when I close my eyes
헤어질 수가 없어 (Heeojil suga eopseo)
I can’t part from you
잠이 오지 않는 이 밤 너만 기다려 (Jami oji anneun i bam neoman gidaryeo)
On this sleepless night, I’m waiting for only you
