"Season of Memories" reflects on GFriend’s remarkable journey, delivering the heartfelt message that the songs they have sung and the seasons they have shared will forever be etched in their memories.
The lyrics—“We came round and round and met again in time,” “Connected as one / Engraved as one / Within our kind season / We will stay together forever”—resonate powerfully, leaving a lasting impact.
With its uplifting melody and dynamic progression, "Season of Memories" showcases GFriend’s signature emotive style, seamlessly blending a sense of nostalgia with refreshing novelty.
In celebration of GFriend’s 10th debut anniversary, producers Wonjounglee and Noh Ju Hwan reunited with the group to create the special track, drawing from their successful collaborations that led to numerous hits, including “Time for the moon night,” “Sunrise,” and “Crossroads.”
Shintaro Yasuda, known for his work with Ariana Grande, also lent his expertise to enhance the musical sophistication of "Season of Memories."
On Jan. 5, GFriend dazzled the stage at the 39th Golden Disk Awards held at Fukuoka PayPay Dome in Japan by performing their previous hits "Glass Bead," "Time for the moon night," and "Rough," leading up to the premiere performance of their new lead single "Season of Memories" and showcased the choreography teased in the 'PERFORMANCE PROFOLOGUE' video.
On Jan. 6, they also revealed a 'MOOD FILM' on HYBE LABELS YouTube channel consisting of a highlight medley of the new lead single and the behind-the-scenes footage from their first concept photoshoot.
GFriend members expressed their gratitude and heightened the anticipation for Season of Memories by saying "It’s hard to believe that 10 years have already passed. We put in a lot of effort for this comeback to share it with our fans, Buddy, and we hope it proves to be a rewarding gift."
