Band LUCY are back with a message for anyone who has had to pick themselves up and try one more time. The four-piece band of Shin Ye-chan, Choi Sang-yeop, Jo Won-sang, and Shin Gwang-il released their eighth digital single, ‘Again!’ (‘다시!’), on November 12 at 6 p.m. KST.
The single has two songs: the title track ‘Again!’ and ‘Maybe You’ll Be Okay’ (‘아마 괜찮을 너에게’). Jo Won-sang wrote, composed, and arranged both tracks. Together, they speak to young people who have stumbled and looked back with regret, but still choose to keep chasing their dreams.
In a Q&A shared for the release, Jo Won-sang explained that he added string orchestration to the parts where every instrument pushes forward at full force, hoping the violin line would feel like a huge wave rolling in. Shin Ye-chan, who plays violin and viola, pointed to the viola as a key part of the sound. ‘Maybe You’ll Be Okay’ goes softer, with lighter drums and a more acoustic feel, while ‘Again!’ leans into a bright pop-band sound.
Some fans have already heard ‘Again!’ live. LUCY first performed the then-unreleased song at their Seoul encore concert, ‘2026 LUCY 9TH CONCERT ‘ISLAND’ ENCORE IN SEOUL,’ held October 23 to 25, and requests for an official release poured in afterward. It’s the band’s first new music in about seven months, following their second full album, ‘Childish,’ in April.
