She released her fourth album on March 12, 2008, titled Comfort, and it is her first release in three years. The album was postponed several times because Gummy wanted to release a high-quality album that showed her growth as an artist. The lead single "미안해요" ("I'm Sorry") features T.O.P from BIGBANG; he is also featured in the music video, along with Sandara Park. Within a week after its release, the song became a mild success on various digital charts.
On April 12, 2010, YG Entertainment announced comeback plan for Gummy and her fellow label mates BIGBANG, 2NE1, and SE7En. A week later, it was revealed that Gummy is coming back with a new mini album titled Loveless. A music video plus the full song of one of her tracks in the new mini album was released on April 21st. She has released a music video for multiple songs since the album such as "There is no Love" that has already been live on the COMEBACK STAGE.
친구라도 될걸 그랬어
Gummy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
웃으며 인사 할 만큼
까맣게 나를 잊었니
네 곁에 있는 사람 소개할만큼
견디긴 너무 힘든데
자꾸만 울고 싶은데
내 옆이 아닌 자리에 너를 보고 있는게
친구라도 될 걸 그랬어
모두 다 잊고서
다른 사람 만나는 널 보아도 슬프지 않게
그저 바라보고 있었어
한참동안 네 옆에 그 사람까지도
잠시라도 더 보려고
다시 혹시라도 널 보게되면
그땐 모르는 척 해볼게
웃어도 볼게 지금의 너처럼 woo oh
눈 감지 말고 보낼 걸 woo
가는 널 꼭 지켜볼 걸
차가운 너의 걸음에
마지막 내 눈물도
묻혀서 보내버릴 걸
너무 모진 너의 모습이
미워져버렸어 다른 사람 만나는
널 보아도 슬프지 않게
그저 바라보고 있었어
한참동안 네 옆에 그 사람까지도
잠시라도 더 보려고
다시 혹시라도 널 보게되면
그땐 모르는 척 해볼게
웃어도 볼게 지금의 너처럼
차라리 잘된 것 같아
다시 널 또 한번
미워할 수 있을테니
혹시 아직 너도 나처럼
편해지지 못하고 아파만 하는 거니
애써 너도 참는거니
혹시 네가 다시 돌아올까봐
나의 곁은 아직 그대로
비워져 있어 너의 자리라서 woo, woo
The lyrics of Gummy's song We Should've Been Friends express the bitter feelings of a person who regrets not being able to maintain their friendship with someone they used to be close to. The song opens with the singer asking if the other person has forgotten them completely, to the point where they can easily laugh and socialize with someone else. The singer then laments how difficult it is to keep up with the pretense of being fine and happy, while deep down they are hurting and miss the other person's presence.
The singer then reflects on how they could have remained friends and how they should have made the effort to not let their friendship crumble. The singer bitterly thinks about how they have come to dislike the other person for moving on so easily, all the while struggling to come to terms with their own feelings. The singer ultimately expresses their desire to see the other person again but also their fear of pretending they don't care.
The song's chorus expresses the singer's yearning to still care for the other person, to watch over them as they leave, even if it means shedding a final tear for their lost friendship. In the last verse, the singer wonders if the other person still feels the same ache in their heart for the lost friendship, and notes that they would rather feel hatred again than have to face the pain of knowing that they have been replaced.

벌써 넌 내가 편하니
Are you already comfortable without me?
웃으며 인사 할 만큼
Enough to greet me with a smile
까맣게 나를 잊었니
Did you completely forget me?
네 곁에 있는 사람 소개할만큼
Introduce me to the person by your side?
견디긴 너무 힘든데
It's too difficult to endure
자꾸만 울고 싶은데
I keep wanting to cry
내 옆이 아닌 자리에 너를 보고 있는게
Seeing you beside someone else, not me,
왜 그게 행복한걸까
Why does that make you happy?
친구라도 될 걸 그랬어
I wish we could have been friends,
모두 다 잊고서
Forget everything and start anew
다른 사람 만나는 널 보아도 슬프지 않게
Seeing you with someone else doesn't make me sad
그저 바라보고 있었어
I was just looking at you
한참동안 네 옆에 그 사람까지도
Even when the person next to you stayed for a while
잠시라도 더 보려고
I wanted to see you even if only for a moment longer
다시 혹시라도 널 보게되면
If I ever see you again,
그땐 모르는 척 해볼게
I'll pretend I don't know you
웃어도 볼게 지금의 너처럼 woo oh
I'll still smile even if you're like you are now, woo oh
눈 감지 말고 보낼 걸 woo
I should've watched you go instead of closing my eyes, woo
가는 널 꼭 지켜볼 걸
I should've watched over you as you left
차가운 너의 걸음에
In your cold footsteps
마지막 내 눈물도
Even my last tears
묻혀서 보내버릴 걸
Should've been buried and left behind
너무 모진 너의 모습이
Your hardened expression
미워져버렸어 다른 사람 만나는
I hate that you look happy with someone else
널 보아도 슬프지 않게
But seeing you doesn't make me sad
그저 바라보고 있었어
I was just looking at you
한참동안 네 옆에 그 사람까지도
Even when the person next to you stayed for a while
잠시라도 더 보려고
I wanted to see you even if only for a moment longer

I'll pretend I don't know you
웃어도 볼게 지금의 너처럼
I'll still smile even if you're like you are now
차라리 잘된 것 같아
I guess it's better this way
다시 널 또 한번
Because if I see you again,
미워할 수 있을테니
I'll be able to hate you
혹시 아직 너도 나처럼
I wonder if you're like me
편해지지 못하고 아파만 하는 거니
Are you still unable to be comfortable, hurting
애써 너도 참는거니
Are you also trying to bear it
혹시 네가 다시 돌아올까봐
Just in case you come back to me,
나의 곁은 아직 그대로
My side is still empty,
비워져 있어 너의 자리라서 woo, woo
Vacant, because it's the spot meant for you, woo, woo
