Carry On (옥탑방 왕세자 OST)

ALi's "Carry On" is a more muscular entry in the Rooftop Prince soundtrack — a mid-tempo pop soul track that leans into her considerable vocal power without ever letting it become a showcase exercise. The production has a forward momentum to it: rhythm guitar, a pulsing bass line, and drums that push without rushing. ALi sings with an R&B-inflected delivery, her voice rounding syllables warmly, bending notes at their ends. The song is about perseverance in the face of grief — not the triumphant kind, but the quieter, daily kind of continuing. She doesn't oversell the resilience; instead it comes through in the steadiness of her phrasing. In a drama OST context, this tends to underscore scenes of forward motion rather than stillness. It works well on a run or a long drive, when you need something that feels like company rather than commentary.
