A Story of Love and Longing

Cherish" is a love song, reflecting on emotions most people will share: yearning for, and holding onto, love no matter how long the time has passed or no matter the distance between the two lovers.

The song tells the story of a reality that probably most humans will go through at one point in their lives: that strong love for another person beyond having somebody with you.

With ILLIT, this is a group famous for emotive vocal stylings that gives life to such verses with a performance that's at once personal and epic. Technically, the song strikes a fine balance between vulnerability and power, which is a seeming contradiction, though strength highlighted in the soaring of the chorus by the mellow, contemplative verses. The instrumental constitution-a combination of instruments with electronic devices-creates a soundscapes that's modern and classic.

The producers for the group have created a sound that is both fresh and innovative-sounding yet comforting to K-pop fans who enjoy new versions of favorite musical genres.
