Only U (feat. PENOMECO)

Moon Sujin's song 'Only U (feat. PENOMECO)' delves into the complex emotions and paradoxes that often accompany romantic relationships. The lyrics explore the tension between desire and independence, as the protagonist grapples with their feelings for someone who may not be entirely necessary in their life, yet whose presence they deeply crave. This duality is encapsulated in the recurring line, 'Baby, you're needless, but I want you to hold me,' which highlights the internal conflict between wanting to maintain self-sufficiency and yearning for emotional connection.

The song also touches on themes of vulnerability and communication. The protagonist acknowledges that they are not the only one in their partner's life, yet they still seek validation and affection. This is evident in lines like '내가 너 밖에 모르는 건 아니지만' (I don't only know you) and '네가 내 꿈은 아니지만 내 꿈에 나와줬으면 해' (You're not my dream, but I wish you'd appear in my dream). These lines suggest a longing for deeper intimacy and understanding, even if the relationship is not perfect or exclusive.

PENOMECO's verse adds another layer to the narrative, addressing the challenges of expressing emotions and the misunderstandings that can arise. The lines '표현의 문제가 있지 넌 솔직하게 말하면 되잖아' (You have a problem with expression, just be honest) and '섭섭해 왜 자꾸 말을 그렇게 해 baby don't say that' (I'm upset, why do you keep saying that, baby don't say that) highlight the difficulties in communication that can strain a relationship. Despite these challenges, the desire for closeness remains strong, as both artists express a need to be held and understood, even if they question their own sanity in the process.
