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".

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.

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.
Weekend
태연 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
혼자만의 영화관
그냥 이끌리는 대로 해도 괜찮으니까
Every morning 울린
Beep beep beep beep 소리
귀에 윙윙윙 맴도는
나를 재촉하던 모닝콜 없이 일어나
Cheese cake 한 입
유리컵, 컵, 컵 한가득
내린 커, 커, 커피 한 잔
아이스로 할래 아주 여유롭게
문득 시곌 보니
벌써 시간은 열두시
그래도 아주 느긋해
그리곤 하품 한 번
한껏 기지개도 켜고
생각해 오늘 뭐 할까
창문 너머 계절에 시선이 닿은 그 순간
쏟아지는 햇살 내 맘을 두드려
내게 손짓하는 싱그러운 바람 타고서
떠나볼래 when the weekend comes
I can do whatever I want
바람 따라 흩어진 cloud
더 자유롭게 we can go (hey)
가장 가까운 바다
혼자만의 영화관
그냥 이끌리는 대로 해도 괜찮으니까
훌쩍 떠나보는 drive
뚜벅 걸어도 좋아
뭐든 발길 닿는 대로 지금 떠나보려 해 oh
하루쯤 세상의 얘길 무시한 채
내가 나의 하루를 조립해 보려 해
더는 no, no stress 고민 안 할래
Move it right, left, right 내 맘대로
가본 적도 없는 길 뭐가 있든지
I don't need a map when I roll the streets
이어 가보는 이윤 for a little fun
계속 up, up, up 좀 더 올라가
한쪽 길모퉁이 따라 맘대로 자라난
조그만 이름 모를 꽃 (ta ra, ta ta ta)
한참을 바라보다 뜨거운 햇살을 피해
벤치에 잠깐 앉아 봐 (ha)
느려지는 걸음 그림자의 속도를 따라
함께 걷는 태양과 발을 맞추고
뒤이을 달빛을 따라 돌아오고 싶은 걸
떠나볼래 when the weekend comes
I can do whatever I want
바람 따라 흩어진 cloud
더 자유롭게 we can go (hey)
아무 계획이 없어서 완벽한 plan
우연히 찾아낸 secret place
그곳에 두고 와 나만의 작은 짐 (두고 와 내 작은 짐)
골목길 끝을 돌아 만나게 될
기분 좋은 surprise 또 설렘
두근두근 온종일 (하루종일)
고소한 향기의 coffee shop
눈에 들어오는 예쁜 옷
Do it for the weekend
Do it for the weekend
맘에 들어오는 걸 더는 망설이긴 싫은 걸
그래도 돼 when the weekend comes
I can do whatever I want
바람 따라 흩어진 cloud
더 자유롭게 we can go (hey)
가장 가까운 바다
혼자만의 영화관
그냥 이끌리는 대로 해도 괜찮으니까
훌쩍 떠나보는 drive
뚜벅 걸어도 좋아
뭐든 발길 닿는 대로 지금 떠나보려 해 oh
The lyrics to 태연's song "Weekend" portray a sense of freedom and carefreeness that comes with the arrival of the weekend. The song revolves around the idea of doing whatever one wants without hesitation or stress. It starts by describing the closest sea, the personal movie theater, and the freedom to do whatever one desires. The lyrics mention waking up without the sound of the morning alarm and indulging in a bite of cheesecake and a cup of coffee. The singer contemplates what to do on this day and enjoys the slow pace and the simple pleasures of life.
Moving on, the lyrics depict looking out of the window and feeling the gaze of the season on oneself, the sun shining and a refreshing breeze beckoning. The singer expresses the desire to leave and explore new places over the weekend, going wherever the wind takes them and feeling even more liberated. The lyrics also mention the freedom to drive away, to walk leisurely, and to go wherever one's feet lead. There is a sense of disregarding the world's expectations and pressures while assembling one's own day and embracing a stress-free mindset.

Already the time is twelve o'clock
그래도 아주 느긋해
But still very relaxed
그리곤 하품 한 번

Sit for a moment on the bench (ha)
느려지는 걸음 그림자의 속도를 따라
Following the slowing footsteps of the shadow's speed
함께 걷는 태양과 발을 맞추고
Matching the steps with the walking sun

I want to come back following the trailing moonlight
아무 계획이 없어서 완벽한 plan
Because I have no plans, it's a perfect plan
