South Korean star IU is back with a new single!

On October 19, IU dropped her latest digital single "Strawberry Moon," along with a dreamy music video.

"Strawberry Moon" is described as a pop rock song. The song is her first comeback since the release of her fifth studio album LILAC in March 2021.

"When I first sketched it, it was a simple easy listening track based on an acoustic guitar, but with the refreshing piano theme of composer Lee Jong-hoon and the cool D bridge, it became a pop rock song," IU shared in a statement.

In "Strawberry Moon," IU expresses the magical feeling of falling in love.

"The things that happen inside of me when I fall in love are closer to an unbelievable fantasy than the strawberry-colored moon in the night sky in June that looks like it was made with Photoshop.

"Even if you don't come here often, even if you don't come back, I want you to remember that mysterious moment that everyone has experienced at least once while listening to this song," said IU as she reflects on the meaning behind her song.

Uaenas, IU's official fandom, expressed their love and support on Twitter.
