사랑하게 될 줄 알았어

"사랑하게 될 줄 알았어" captures a quieter and in some ways more complicated emotional state than an outright love song — it's a reflection on the moment of falling, already past, seen from the other side of having arrived. The production is similarly contemplative: piano chords that land gently, a rhythmic element that feels like breath rather than percussion, strings that appear in the second half like a memory clarifying. Paul Kim's delivery here has a slight rueful quality, as if the recognition he's singing about came with both delight and a kind of helplessness. The lyric traces the retrospective awareness — looking back at all the signs that accumulated before the fall became undeniable — and there's something universally true in that backward glance. This is not the breathless immediacy of falling but the quiet acknowledgment of having already fallen. Within his catalog it sits as one of the more introspective tracks, less openly warm than "모든 날, 모든 순간," with a slight wistfulness that shades the romance. The song suits the small hours of early morning, or the particular mood of revisiting old photographs and feeling affection arrive as a slow wave rather than a sudden current.
