When I was making “Wild Flower” I immediately thought of Youjeen of Cherry Filter and her powerful, rocking voice. She is undeniably one of the top rock vocalists in Korea. She’s number one to me. So I called her and told her it had to be her.

Actually, the title was supposed to be “Flowerworks,” which doesn’t make sense. When I see fireworks, it happens so fast—it’s so short and beautiful, but it’s gone. And seeing the fireworks, I thought, if I could do a fireworks with some wildflower—you know, not actual fireworks, because it’s just a metaphor—and if I hold some flowers and throw it to the sky, it could be like fireworks. And yeah, I just made up that word. I wanted to call it “Flowerworks,” and then actually rhyming fireworks and flowers—in Korean, it’s rhyming, too. I’ve been thinking about the theme like since 2015, and so it took like actually almost seven years to actually, to make that into an actual song. But if I name it as “Flowerworks,” I was afraid that (people would be) like, ‘What does this mean?’ I changed it so people could feel it more it’s just “Wild Flower.” But I think the song is a symbol of my 20s, and this album is as well.
