The pair had noted upon completing the recording of “Rain” that the collaboration would produce a synergy of vocals. Soyou previously released popular songs “Officially Missing You,” “Some,” “Stupid in Love” and “Lean on Me.”

This long-awaited song was produced by singer-songwriting team Phat Music, and in partnership with groups such as GFRIEND.

The song talks about one’s nostalgia about a bygone love, while gazing at the rain falling. The track combines Soyou’s husky voice and Baekhyun’s melodic vocal.
