- I don't know why, but this song is so gentle that it hasn't come yet. I like celebrity more because it really has IU's voice.

- The music is bland. I'd rather listen to Big Bang 10 years ago again.

- IU has never made me fall in love, from the music to the swearing concept, no matter what anyone says, IU is still the best, right?
