Singer-songwriter Heize is set to release her eighth EP “Fallin” on Nov. 6, featuring seven tracks that delve into themes of longing. The album touches on various subjects of yearning, including family, friends, a past love and her younger self.
Known for her deep introspective style, Heize calls herself “a person who holds a lot of longing,” and the theme naturally came to the forefront of this new project. “In this album, I found myself reflecting on different people and moments -- my parents, my younger self who once loved with a more innocent heart, those who came and went in my life, and even those I merely passed by. It wasn’t only about the people, but also the passage of time itself,” the 33-year-old singer-songwriter said in a group interview in Seoul on Tuesday.
The ballad title track “Fallin’” captures a tender nostalgia, evoking moments once taken for granted as permanent, only to fade with time. Heize examines the bittersweet longing for lost moments through the lens of youthful, unrefined love. "'Fallin' centers on a longing for past emotions,” she explained.
“It reflects on feelings that seemed permanent in my youth yet eventually changed. This song tells a story of pure love from those early, innocent days.” The second track, “It Was All You,” conveys unspoken gratitude and appreciation to those who have influenced her, helping guide her toward becoming a better person.
“I never think that I achieved success on my own,” Heize .
