The song also did well on KBS Music Bank K-Chart, on Mnet M!Countdown chart, and on various online music charts.
In 2009, IU sang the ending title song, "Araro", for the acclaimed MBC drama Queen Seon Duk, where she was recommended by the director, Sam Kim, citing her "clear tone and her lyrical sensibility."

네가 알면 넌 어떤 표정을 할까
내가 어제 무얼 했는지
네가 알면 넌 어떤 얘기를 할까
영원한 비밀이란 없다고
Oh 말을 하지만
떠들썩하거나 사소하거나
누구나 비밀은 있는 거야
아무에게도 말하지 마
우리 아무 일도, 없던 걸로, 안 들은 걸로 해요
모두 비밀은 있는 거야
누구에게도 말하지 마
사람들에게는 진실이란 중요하지 않아
내가 무슨 꿈을 꿨는지
네가 알면 (알면) 넌 어떤 얼굴을 할까
내가 누굴 싫어하는지
네가 알면 까무러칠지도 몰라
영원한 비밀이란 없다고
Oh oh oh oh 말을 하지만
넌 내가 정말로 없을 것 같니
아무도 모르는 story 하나
넌 네가 정말로 다 안 것 같니
너의 제일 가까운 그 사람을
누구나 비밀은 있는 거야
아무에게도 말하지 마
우리 아무 일도, 없던 걸로, 안 들은 걸로 해요
모두 비밀은 있는 거야
누구에게도 말하지 마
사람들에게는 진실이란 중요하지 않아
비밀이 있기에 빛나는 사람
나를 언제나 궁금하게 만들어
다가갈수록 신비로운 사람
그대의 모든 걸 말하지 마요
누구나 비밀은 있는 거야
아무에게도 말하지 마
우리 아무 일도, 없던 걸로, 안 들은 걸로 해요

사람들에게는 진실이란 중요하지 않아
The song "Everybody has secrets" by IU Gain talks about how everyone has secrets that they keep hidden from others. The first verse talks about how if someone knows what we did or who we liked, they might react differently towards us. The chorus emphasizes that secrets are a part of everyone's life and we shouldn't judge each other for keeping them. The second verse talks about how even dreams or thoughts we dislike are secrets we keep hidden.
The song delves into the idea that keeping secrets is natural and even necessary sometimes, as they make us shine in a different light. At the same time, it warns us that secrets can turn out to be disastrous, leading to speculation and gossip. The song is an honest perspective of the concept of secrets and how they affect our lives.
Overall, the song encourages us to be more accepting of people's secrets as they are a part of everyone's life. It also asks us not to judge people based on what we think we know, and to respect their privacy.
