In February 2016, S.M Entertainment launched a digital music platform called SM Station.

In December 2017, Taeyeon came back with a special Christmas album titled This Christmas - Winter Is Coming. The title track for the album was "This Christmas" and the album contained seven new songs. Despite being a special album, it debuted at #2 on the Gaon Album Chart and #6 on the Billboard World Albums Chart.
In June 2018, Taeyeon released her fourth EP, Something New. The EP peaked at number three on the Gaon Album Chart, and at number four on the Billboard World Albums Chart. That same month Taeyeon embarked on a Japan Showcase Tour, exclusively available to members of SM Entertainment's official Japanese fan club. The tour visited Fukuoka, Nagoya, Tokyo and Osaka. Following the success of her sold-out showcase tour, Taeyeon released her debut Japanese single, "Stay", on June 30, 2018. The single is accompanied by a B-side titled "I'm The Greatest".
In March 2019, Taeyeon released the digital single Four Seasons and its B-side "Blue". "Four Seasons" charted at number six on the Billboard World Digital Songs and topped South Korea's Gaon Digital Chart for two consecutive weeks. The song was certified platinum by the Korean Music Content Association for exceeding 100 million streams. In April 2019, Taeyeon embarked on her first concert tour in Japan, ~Signal~, which started on April 13 in Fukuoka. She subsequently released her first Japanese-language EP, Voice, on May 13. She also recorded "All About You" for the TVN television drama Hotel Del Luna; the song topped the Gaon Digital Chart for two consecutive weeks. Taeyeon released her second studio album, Purpose[/abum], on October 28, 2019. The album peaked at number two in South Korea and spawned the single "Spark", which reached number two on the Gaon Digital Chart. The album was reissued on January 15, 2020, featuring three bonus tracks including the single "Dear Me". Taeyeon embarked on The Unseen Concert in January 2020, and will hold the Japan Tour 2020, visiting eight cities.
In March 2020, S.M Entertainment announced that Taeyeon will release a digital single 'Happy' on March 9, the day of the singer's birthday. The song will feature elements of old-school doo-wop and R&B. It is a special gift for fans with lyrics about excitement and happiness found in time spent with loved ones. The single was later delayed to May 4th, because of her father's passing on March 9th.

태연 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
그리고 또 떠나
내 겨울을 주고 또 여름도 주었던
온 세상이던 널 보낼래
정말 너를 사랑했을까
언제야, 봄이던가
맞아 그땐 한참 서로가
마지막이 될 사랑 마주한 듯
둘밖에 안 보였나 봐
다른 걸 좀 보고파
I gave you the world
너만이 전부라
내 겨울을 주고
또 여름도 주었지
뜨겁고 차갑던 그 계절에
정말 너를 사랑했을까
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
내가 너를 사랑했을까
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
서로를 그리워했고
서로를 지겨워하지
그 긴 낮과 밤들이
낡아 녹슬기 전에
우리 다시 반짝이자
또 계절이 바뀌잖아
I gave you the world
너만이 전부라
내 겨울을 주고
또 여름도 주었지
뜨겁고 차갑던 그 계절에
정말 너를 사랑했을까
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
내가 너를 사랑했을까
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
가도 돼
뒤돌아볼 때쯤엔 난 없어 oh, oh
우리 꽤 괜찮았어
그거면 된 거야
떠날 때, hah
사계절이 와
그리고 또 떠나
내 겨울을 주고 또 여름도 주었던
온 세상이던 널 보낼래
정말 너를 사랑했을까
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
내가 너를 사랑했을까
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
내가 너를 사랑했을까
The chorus of “Four Seasons” describes the singer’s act of giving everything they had to the person they loved during the four seasons of the year. They wonder if they really loved that person and if the love they shared was truly mutual. In the first verse, the singer reflects on the memories of their first encounter, reminiscing their love as if it were the final act of a Shakespearean play. However, in the second verse, the singer recognizes what they once felt has faded, and they have grown tired of each other. Regardless, they still hope to make things work before their love corrodes into nothing.
The lyrics can be interpreted as a metaphor for the cycle of seasons, where the joy, and eventual pain of our relationships, reflect the change from one season to the next. The singer sings to their lover about their doubts, regrets, and overwhelming feelings for the person with whom they shared their life with. The lyrics also express the pain and grief that come with losing someone that was once a significant part of their life, and the struggle in moving on from them.

this is definitely that kind a song you hear when you just broke up with someone and you felt sad at the beginning but then you realized that the person you'd been loving ain't worthy at all and you walked away with a smile in your face.

며칠전에 알게 된 노래입니다.
23살 큰아들이 제 귀에 이어폰을 껴 주더니
노래를 틀어 주더군요.
태연이 이렇게 잘 하는 줄 미처 몰랐습니다.
계속 듣고 있네요.
발표한 지 꽤 됐는데
요즘 세대들의 노래를 듣지 않아서 전혀 몰랐습니다.나이든 엄마에게 음악 선물해 준 아들도 고맙고,
이렇게 아름다운 노래를 들려 준 태연도 너무 고맙습니다.
