오늘 취하면 (with 백현)
소유
There's a warmth to "오늘 취하면" that makes the sadness inside it easier to hold. The production leans into a soft, late-night R&B palette — pillowy synths, a gentle pulse in the low end, nothing too sharp or demanding — and Baekhyun's voice meets Soyou's with a kind of unhurried sweetness. He has one of K-pop's most technically gifted tenors, but here he uses it with unusual restraint, keeping the emotion close rather than projecting it outward. The song is about deciding to get drunk today, which in the Korean lyrical tradition is less about hedonism and more about surrender — permission given to yourself to stop holding it together, at least for one night. There's something almost ritual about it, the way the song frames intoxication as a coping mechanism both characters tacitly agree on. Released as part of a Kakao M project pairing artists in unexpected combinations, the collaboration feels natural in retrospect; both voices have a smooth, soft-focus quality that makes their duet feel like a shared exhale. It suits a Friday night when you've carried something heavy all week and finally set it down.
