Lyric Sheet Included!

Crash Landing looks at what remains after a breakup. The song holds both sides of an ending: the person who leaves and the person left behind. The song explores the spaces of conflict, empathy, doubt, clarity, relief, denial, bargaining, anger, sadness, loss, heartbreak, acceptance, and hope. Nothing is treated as too messy to matter. Musically, Crash Landing is a K-pop ballad with R&B phrasing and a warm trot influence. Piano, strings, soft guitar, brushed drums, accordion or gayageum accents, and uses 6/8 time to create a feeling of sorrow slowly emerging. The chorus lifts from minor aching into a major-key of hope, eventually reaching a final key change. The song’s message is that every "crash landing" feeling is valid as, without rain, the rainbow cannot arrive.
