The song was originally recorded by Korean singer-songwriter and actress Lee Ji-eun, popularly known as IU, with rap parts performed by Suga from the hit-making Korean group, BTS.
Many fans surmised that the song is dedicated to IU's friend, Korean actress-singer, Sulli, who passed away in October last year.
Imago's version featured band members Kiara San Luis (vocals), Tim Cacho (guitars), and Myrene Academia (bass).
Ex-Eraserheads drummer and Sandwich vocalist Raymund Marasigan played the drums, while rapper Bentedos handled the rap parts.
The cover, according to the caption, was “requested by the Soupstar Armies and dedicated to all armies out there!”
Soupstar is the management team handling Imago's career. In general, BTS fans refer to themselves as ARMY or “Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth.”
