When BigHit announced this year's FESTA activities, "By Jin" was listed as the event for today, so we knew that the self-composed song he hinted at for several months was finally going to drop. Jin's specialty is ballads as his voice has a smooth, honey-like quality, so I was already expecting a slower, more emotional song, but what I wasn't expecting was the actual sentiment of the song. He wrote the song about missing his "companion animals," his beloved pets that passed away over the last year. We've seen him get emotional first hand while talking about his pets in this V Live, and it was somewhat jolting to see him that way because he's normally such a happy, optimistic, funny guy. I love that we get to see this facet of Jin, the side that puts in so much love and care into those closest to him. The downtempo electronic beats, reminiscent to those in Troye Sivan's "Happy Little Pill," also somehow makes it more melancholy. It's such a pure, beautiful song; relatable for anyone who is missing someone who is no longer with us. Thank you, Jin, for sharing your heart.
I'm scared I won't be able to see you again
Even that ever-transparent gaze
Even that touch I had gotten used to
Even the face that used to look at me and smile, now
Will I no longer be able to see you again?
In my every day
You are there
In your every day
I am there
If that moon falls and the sun rises
You, who were together with me,
Will you no longer be there?
If I close my eyes
I think I will remember our times together
If I close my eyes, once again,
I think I will only think about our happy memories
If this night passes
I'm scared I won't be able to see you again
If this night passes
I'm scared I'll be left on my own
