And Brave Sound
Here we comes 선미
Eh eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh eh
OK it's time to
지금 당장 아무 말도 필요 없어
그대와 나의 눈빛이 말해주는걸
말하지 마 아무 말도 필요 없어
촉촉이 젖은 내 입술에 살며시 다가와 입 맞춰줘
사랑한단 뻔한 그 한 마디가
특별하게 느껴지는 오늘 밤
왜 이리 심장은 빨리 뛰는지
자 이제 시간이 됐어
그대여 보름달이 뜨는 날, 그대 날 보러와요
이 밤이 가기 전에 해 뜨기 전에 서둘러줘요
그대여 보름달이 뜨는 날, 그대 사랑을 줘요
이 밤이 가기 전에 해 뜨기 전에 날 보러 와요
Eh eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh eh (Perfect weather can get no better)
Eh eh eh eh eh

Eh eh eh eh eh (Everything around us so so real yo)
Tonight, It's the night
보름달을 조명 삼아 사랑을 속삭이기 딱 좋은 밤
기분 좋은 날씨 11시 완벽한 세팅
하늘마저도 우릴 축복하나 봐
서두르지 말고 하나도 빼놓지 말고
우리만 생각하고 이 밤은 길다고
그대 손을 잡고 walking on the moon
굳게 닫힌 문 빠짐없이 열어 오랫동안 기다려 왔던 꿈
사랑한단 뻔한 그 한 마디가
특별하게 느껴지는 오늘밤
왜 이리 심장은 빨리 뛰는지

그대여 보름달이 뜨는 날
그대 날 보러와요
이 밤이 가기 전에 해 뜨기 전에 서둘러줘요
그대여 보름달이 뜨는 날
그대 사랑을 줘요
이 밤이 가기 전에 해 뜨기 전에 날 보러와요
빗속에 이 옷이 흠뻑 젖고
너와 나 단둘이 이 길을 걷고
달콤한 사랑을 속삭여요
The song "보름달 Full Moon" by SunMi, in collaboration with JYP and Brave Sound tells the story of a romantic night under the full moon. The lyrics describe the silent communication between two people in love through their eyes, without the need for words. The singer urges her lover to kiss her on her moist lips and confesses that she feels special even after hearing the cliche expression of love. The rest of the song is an appeal to her lover to come to her on the night of the full moon, to love her before the night ends, and to share intimate moments that will remain in their memory forever.
The lyrics revolve around the idea that one can communicate without words and that love can be expressed through gestures and looks. Additionally, the song celebrates the beauty of nature, with the full moon being a symbol of love, companionship, and happiness. As the evening progresses, the singer urges her lover not to rush and enjoy every moment they have together. The appeal is one to cherish moments of love as they're fleeting, and one should seize every opportunity to experience true connection and affection.
The song is a fusion of Korean and Western musical styles and had an inspired contemporary dance music. One interesting fact is that it marked JYP and Brave Sound's first collaboration. Another fact is that SunMi used her skills in acrobatics in the music video, where she does a backward flip down a flight of stairs. The fact that the song was released during the lunar new year played a significant role in its success and audience appeal. The song reached the top 10 charts in South Korea, where it stayed for over 17 weeks. It also entered the Billboard's world digital song chart at number 6, marking SunMi's second entry on the billboard charts.
