  • Release date: 2025 May 12
  • Album tracklist: I will be your flower, I will be your flower (Inst.)
  • Album runtime: 7 minutes

 My man, Changsub. I'm patiently waiting for his return to activities with BTOB. It's fine. I know this is going to be a great song. Also, fun fact that I literally just learned because after watching the music video, such as it is, for this, I found out that Changsub was on Jaefriends, and I was like "Sold. I love Jaejoong. Man is a boss." So I did that instead of my next review. And I found out something really cool about this song. So Changsub did a cover of a Roy Kim song for a concert. Roy Kim contacted Changsub and praised the cover as well as asking if it would be alright if he (Roy Kim) sent him (Changsub) a song. This is that song. 

Instrumental track, so I'm happy as a clam. I'm reminded a lot of the soundtrack to the 1980 Anne of Green Gables with that intro, but it's generally so gloriously cinematic that I could cry. We've got good swells of sound with changes to the sound composition in terms of which instrument is playing when and how. It's gorgeous. Admittedly, I think part of its allure for me is that it's unlike what most of what I've been listening to for the recent releases, but that also means that it's somewhat of an oasis, especially with the run time that makes it a proper song rather than a snippet of one.

Oh, my cat is going to like this song. Changsub is his bias anyway, but this is a particularly fine example of his voice. The level of surgically precise control over dynamic, vibrato, and tone present in the song just raises the level of the song, which was already so soothing. This is what we call a proper ballad. Soulful, emotional, somehow both raw and restrained. 

Also, as predicted, T'Challa approved.

I don't have a lot to say about this other than super healing and also, this is like the ultimate wedding song. Vibes and visuals, right here.
