그 해 여름 (That Summer)

Memory has a particular texture here — warm but slightly out of reach, like trying to hold onto the last afternoon of a summer that's already ending. Acoustic guitar forms the spine, with soft percussion and understated strings layering in without ever crowding the space. The arrangement breathes in a way that feels cinematic without being overwrought, and there's a stillness at the center that makes the emotional weight land slowly rather than all at once. The vocals are gentler here than in much of INFINITE's catalog, the delivery leaning into wistfulness rather than longing — a subtle distinction, but an important one. This is not about wanting something back so much as honoring that it existed. The lyrical world revolves around a specific summer, a specific person, a moment already past, and the song understands that nostalgia is its own kind of grief. It belongs to a tradition of Korean pop balladry that treats seasonal change as emotional metaphor — summer as peak feeling, autumn as departure. This is a song for the transition between those two, when you are still warm but can feel the air starting to shift. Best heard while looking out a window at fading light, alone but not unhappy.
