Album Introduction #
JTBC Monday-Tuesday Drama ‘18 Again’ OST Part.1
‘The Only One - SOYOU’
Based on the movie ‘17 Again’, the super-empathetic human fantasy drama ‘18 Again’ tells the story of a husband who returns to his prime 18 years ago just before his divorce. The show started airing to popular acclaim, led by veteran actors like ‘Yoon Sang-hyun’ and ‘Kim Ha-neul’, and featuring rising star ‘Lee Do-hyun’ and other hot new talents.
Released as OST Part.1, ‘The Only One’ garnered a hot response from viewers with its brief exposure in the drama’s teaser, showcasing a perfect harmony with the drama. The song, delivered in SOYOU’s calm yet expressive voice, is a poignant love story. The arrangement unfolds on an acoustic sound base, and the song’s gentle introduction highlights SOYOU’s unique delicate sensibility, adding dramatic flair.
SOYOU, walking a successful path as a solo artist, has solidified her position as a leading OST singer with her participation in hit drama OSTs like ‘Goblin’ and ‘When the Camellia Blooms’. She returned in July with her digital single ‘GOTTA GO’, showcasing her true colors as a summer queen. Additionally, she’s showing her versatile charm by expanding her activities, including launching an entertainment, acting, and YouTube channel.
This song is a work by the team AIMING, which continues to hit the charts in 2020 with songs like MC the Max’s ‘Like the First Time’, ‘Four Seasons (A Day’s Life)’, and Shin Yong-jae’s ‘A Star Comes’. The songwriting and guitar contributions of the highly regarded singer-songwriter and guitarist ‘Jeokjae’, along with the diverse and splendid sound of ‘AIM STRINGS’ who took on many orchestra arrangements in 2020, come together with SOYOU’s exquisite voice to create a well-made OST.
