One Person

Solji of EXID delivers a poignant and heartfelt ballad in 'One Person,' a song that delves deep into the complexities of love and loss. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with the aftermath of a significant relationship. Despite their best efforts to move on, the protagonist finds themselves repeatedly drawn back to memories of their former lover. This cyclical pattern of remembering and trying to forget underscores the difficulty of truly letting go of someone who once meant everything.

The song's emotional core is encapsulated in the lines '내가 아는 한사람 내가 아는 한사람' (The one person I know, the one person I know). This repetition emphasizes the singular importance of this person in the protagonist's life. The lyrics also highlight the futility of seeking solace in new relationships, as '네가 아닌 사람은 네가 아닌 다른 사랑은 날 채워주지 못해' (Someone who isn't you, another love that isn't you, can't fill me up). This sentiment speaks to the irreplaceable nature of true love and the lingering void left by its absence.

Culturally, the song taps into universal themes of heartache and the struggle to move on, resonating with anyone who has experienced a deep emotional connection. Solji's powerful vocals add an extra layer of emotion, making the listener feel the weight of each word. The song's melancholic tone and introspective lyrics invite listeners to reflect on their own experiences with love and loss, making 'One Person' a deeply relatable and moving piece.
