From a young age, Yesung expressed an interest in singing. In 1999, he joined a broadcast singing competition and won gold at the Cheonan Singing Competition. In 2001, Yesung's mother signed him up to audition for SM Entertainment's Starlight Casting System, in which he impressed the judges with his "artistic voice", and signed as trainee under SM Entertainment that same year. His label given him stage name Yesung which is derived from the Korean phrase "예술가의 성대" (lit. meaning: vocal cords of an artist) and can be translated as an "art-like voice".
During his military service in February 2014, Yesung joined the ballad group SM the Ballad, initially formed by SM Entertainment in 2010. On the group's second album, he had a solo song: "Blind".

이 길 끝에서 서성이는 나
다신 볼 수도 없는 니가 나를 붙잡아
나는 또 이 길을 묻는다
널 보고 싶다고
또 안고 싶다고
저 하늘보며 기도하는 날
니가 아니면 안돼
너 없인 난 안돼
나 이렇게 하루 한달을 또 일년을
나 아파도 좋아
내 맘 다쳐도 좋아 난
그래 난 너 하나만 사랑하니까
나 두 번 다시는
보낼 수 없다고
나 너를 잊고 살순 없다고
니가 아니면 안돼
너 없인 난 안돼
나 이렇게 하루 한달을 또 일년을
나 아파도 좋아
내 맘 다쳐도 좋아 난
그래 난 너 하나만 사랑하니까
내 멍든 가슴이
널 찾아오라고
소리쳐 부른다
넌 어딨는거니
나의 목소리 들리지 않니
나에게는
나 다시 살아도
몇 번을 태어나도
하루도 니가 없이 살 수 없는 나
내가 지켜줄 사람
내가 사랑할 사람 난
그래 난 너 하나면 충분하니까
너 하나만 사랑하니까
The lyrics of 예성's song "It Has to Be You" are about a person who is searching for their lost love. In the first verse, the singer is wandering around with memories of their love, and they find themselves at the end of a street.

In the chorus, the singer prays to the sky and expresses their desire to see and hold their love again; they cannot exist without them. The singer acknowledges that it's okay to be in pain, as long as they have their love.
The second verse is about the singer's determination to not let their love go. They can't envision a future without their love and want to shout out to the universe to find them.

In the bridge, the singer is pleading for their love to come back to them by repeating that they cannot live without them.
Overall, "It Has to Be You" is a love ballad that explores the desperation, pain, and persistence of a love that cannot be forgotten.

오늘도 내 기억을 따라헤매다
Today, I wander around following my memories
이 길 끝에서 서성이는 나
At the end of this road, I am standing still
다신 볼 수도 없는 니가 나를 붙잡아
You, whom I will never see again, hold onto me
나는 또 이 길을 묻는다
I ask this road again
널 보고 싶다고
I miss you
또 안고 싶다고
I want to hold you again
저 하늘보며 기도하는 날
The day I pray while looking at the sky
니가 아니면 안돼
It has to be you
너 없인 난 안돼
I can't be without you
나 이렇게 하루 한달을 또 일년을
Here I am, day by day, month by month, year after year
나 아파도 좋아
I'm okay with the pain
내 맘 다쳐도 좋아 난
I'm okay with my heart being hurt
그래 난 너 하나만 사랑하니까
Yes, I only love you
나 두 번 다시는
I can never
보낼 수 없다고
Let you go
나 너를 잊고 살순 없다고
I can't live forgetting you
내 멍든 가슴이
My aching heart
널 찾아오라고
Calls out to find you
소리쳐 부른다
And screams out
넌 어딨는거니
Where are you?
나의 목소리 들리지 않니
Can you not hear my voice?
나에게는
To me
나 다시 살아도
Even if I live again
몇 번을 태어나도
No matter how many times
하루도 니가 없이 살 수 없는 나
I cannot live a single day without you
내가 지켜줄 사람
The person I will protect
내가 사랑할 사람 난
The person I will love, I am
그래 난 너 하나면 충분하니까
Yes, you are enough for me
너 하나만 사랑하니까
Because I only love you
