The original song 'Borrowing This Song', released in 2012, gained popularity through the sad melody and captivating singing of male duo December, and was a song that gave strength to the ballad craze at the time.
J. Sera's remake version tells a sad story from a woman's perspective, giving the song a new feel. It was created as a song that shows a dramatic flow after an emotional intro that starts with a lonely piano melody.
‘Please don’t leave me / … … Like the lyrics, 'Because this is the only way I can hold on to you / I'll speak on behalf of my heart / Borrowing this song,' the sadness of having no choice but to hold on to a departing love goes beyond sorrow and leads to unsweetness.
The song was arranged and produced by composers Go Byeong-sik and Lee Hyeong-seong, who have been active in music through albums and OSTs with numerous domestic and foreign artists, and released a well-made remake, showing off their musical chemistry with J-Sera.
A music production official expressed expectations, saying, “We expect a positive response as another luxury remake with J-Sera’s excellent song interpretation and sensuous arrangement, which has joined the recent remake music craze in the music industry.”
J-Sera's 'Borrowing This Song' will be released at 6pm on the 15th (Sunday).
