Crush’s New Song “Seesaw”: “This Song Wouldn’t Have Come Out If Not for IU” … Out on the 21st

A meeting of two unmistakable voices, capturing the musical connection of an awkward love

Singer 'Crush' is breaking a 1-year-and-2-month hiatus with his new song 'Seesaw'. Set for release at 6 p.m. on the 21st, the track has already drawn keen public interest, with leading Korean solo artist 'IU' contributing both as a featured artist and in the music video.

'Crush' spoke of his deep affection for the new song, saying, "This song wouldn’t have come out if not for 'IU'." He shared how the collaboration came about: "I was certain that 'IU' was the only voice that would suit 'Seesaw' best, so I reached out to her directly. I was truly happy that she readily agreed, and in the end, we created a song that was even more perfect than I had imagined."

Arriving 14 months after his last release, 'Seesaw' portrays the halting, awkward twists and turns of love with a warm and lovely perspective. Fans can look forward to an unmistakable synergy between 'Crush''s signature emotive tone and 'IU''s delicate vocals.

Going beyond a vocal contribution, 'IU' also appears in the music video, heightening the song’s immersive quality. 'Crush' praised her, saying, "Throughout the process, I was deeply impressed by 'IU''s thoughtful approach to the music and lyrics." He added, "She also showed such detailed acting on the music video set that I couldn’t help thinking, 'As expected of a great actor.'"

With this meeting of chart-topping artists expected to shake up the charts, 'Crush' shared his hopes for the release: "Since it’s been a while since I released a new song, I hope to connect deeply with more listeners through 'Seesaw'." He added, "Rather than simply chasing flashy accolades, I want to be a 'musician' who makes meaningful music that stays with someone throughout their life."
