Composition
Composed by Ophelia's mentor Tablo of Epik High and herself, the song was originally going to be included in Tablo's first solo album but was later dropped due to an unfitting theme to the overall songs. Ophelia then adapted the song and changed the melody and music arrangements to the current version. The song also uses the analog synthesizer performed by Yoo Young-jin and a musique concrete sound technique in the last part of the song.
Critical Reception
The Korean public gave a positive rating on the average of 82% on Cyworld Monthly Music Chart. Many praised the maturity of Ophelia's music and the excellent collaboration between Tablo. In particular note, they were able to spot similarities between the styles but at the same time able to completely define the two different artists.
Her accompanying self written lyrics also received great attention, especially the line The string you [a man] attached to my heart... Only to be pulled [...] By another woman. Although the depth of the lyrics has been compared to her mentor and many concluded it to be a fair attempt many claims it will only be a matter of time for the public to see her fast improvements. Alex James who co-composed the song says Ophelia can be one of the most promising artist of the 21st century, "From her self composed work, music style, depth in her lyrics and on-going improvement at music arrangements you can see her becoming one of the most top Asia artists out there one day."
