IU – Eight (Prod.&Feat. SUGA of BTS)
Another hit for IU, with the help of Suga. Don’t be fooled by the music. The lyrics and meaning are actually quite sad and that contrast is the whole point of the song.
Some are saying it’s a song about Gu Hara (Kara), Sulli (f(x)) and Jonghyun (SHINee) who all took their lives recently. And she was close with all of them. đą

“those âhappyâ scenes are IUâs vision on an island called âorange islandâ where everyone on it are happy and live with no worries, itâs an imagination place created in IUâs mind, in the beginning of mv, she was attached to the machine and it asked âsave all your memories? yes | noâ, in the end, she chose âyesâ despite those hardship and tragedies that happened in her life. âthe song talks of wanting to run away to an imaginary place where everything is great bc reality is so grim and its interesting how the last line in the lyrics is âif itâs a nightmare, then I never want to wake upâ but just as she sings that, she opens her eyes in the mvâ
