"This song was a song that one of my members, Jonghyun, used to practice a lot. Since Jonghyun is really good at singing, I used to watch him, thinking, 'Wow, he's so cool.'"

"Since I've been following him since we were preparing for our debut, I sang along with him. I also practiced this song with him.

The members and I have been together for a long time. We even used to live together. So this affection feeling... although this song is originally a breakup song, I thought it would be nice to sing it with my own interpretation. So I chose this song."

When Lee Mujin asked, "Did you want to sing the song that one of the members loved?", Taemin nodded.
