This is a shocking song where intense madness and love intertwine.

Released exclusively at Tower Records in March 2015 as Aimyon’s debut single, it left a major impact on the indie scene.

The gap between the pop sound and the provocative lyrics masterfully depicts the obsession and destructive desires that can accompany romantic feelings.

It’s a recommended track for those who want to let out powerful emotions or express complex romantic feelings at karaoke.
