The group was formerly known as Fading From Dawn from 2004 with the guitarist-vocalist Kim Moon-chul, drummer Kim Soo-yoon and bassist Richard Kim, Moon-chul's older brother. They used to play at several Korean events such as the annual Korean Festival in Orange County. After Richard's death in April 2008 in a car accident in Pomona, California, they decided that they couldn’t be Fading From Dawn without Richard and changed their name to Royal Pirates.

Came all the way to Seoul from LA
I traveled a long distance to Seoul from Los Angeles
Feels like it was yesterday
It feels like it happened recently
Was looking for love
I was searching for love
And I found you
I found you as my true love
Baby that's right
It's true, my love for you
I used to be so young and stupid eh
I was young and foolish before
All my friends said I was reckless yeah
My friends used to think I was impulsive
But now I don't care ehh!
But now, I don't mind their opinion
Cuz I loved it
Because I enjoyed the adventure
Where have you been baby?
I missed you, where have you been?
I missed you
I longed for you while you were away
All this time oh
All this while, I missed you
I thought I lost you
I assumed that I had lost you
Reminiscing the time I kissed you
I recall the moment of our first kiss
You know we could do it again
We can relive that experience
Que paso

Wanna dance with you
I want to dance with you

Better than the girls on the dance floor
