The song "Crying" by SISTAR is a heart-wrenching ballad about the pain of a breakup. The opening lines sung by Hyolyn express her feelings of being unable to function without her former partner, as if her life has stopped since they left. The pain of the breakup is so potent that even crying brings her no relief. The next verse sung by Soyu reveals her despair at the finality of the situation. She knows that there is no hope for them to reconcile, and that thought alone is enough to make her feel helpless. The pre-chorus sung by Hyolyn again brings out the desperation she feels at her partner's absence. She longs for their touch, to feel like they're there with her, but the reality crushes her. The chorus spirals into the same recurring cycle of tears, expressing that no matter how much they may try to move on, they can't escape the pain of the relationship that's already ended.
The song has a rap verse by Bora where she talks about letting go of the memories. She wishes to forget but despite it, moments that she shared with her ex still remain fresh in her memory. In the second verse, Hyolyn talks about how she wishes to love again but feels as though she'll never fully recover from this heartbreak. The bridge sung by Dasom shows her coming to terms with the end of the relationship. She knows that despite all her efforts, there is no getting back together with her ex-lover. The last chorus sung by Hyolyn and Soyu repeats the sentiment expressed in the opening chorus, showcasing the cyclical nature of the pain they can't seem to escape.

I used to dance to Sistar since i was 4 (i am 9 now lol) they were my favorite group along with 2ne1. Miss ya Sistar!!
Straight Logic
@xuan welcome to the family, it's better to late than never...very wise choice, you stan the one and only the best girl group in KPop history with cleanest track record without any scandal-drama-conflict from debut-active-disbanded B.E.S.T. SISTAR
so far no girl group as succes + cleanest like SISTAR in KPop, they're tje one and only the pioneer

I got into kpop at 9 years old (2016). I really regret getting in so late. I became a hardcore Star1 at 12 (2019). I don't know why i became a Star1 so late. I spent the last 2 years hardcore stanning Twice and i never knew about Sistar. Now that i stan them, i really hate myself for starting the kpop world with Twice and not Sistar.
Jada the sub maker
mee too, my favorite groups were sistar and 2ne1

I Love Sistar!<3
