IU said “It's about that moment right before a pair of lovers start their relationship and genuinely fall in love. 'You've dated other people before, right? I have, too'. You both have an idea of how it will go. In the beginning, everything's great, you fall in love, get comfortable with each other, then start to get annoyed with each other, then realize that they're not the one, and then break up.

Even though it's a fact that you and I both know about, let's just dive right into it and love each other as strongly as we can, like you can't live without each other.

There's no need to only be truthful. Layer on the lies on top of each other. Make it seem as great as you can and shower as much love as you can. The song sort of has a cynical meaning behind it.”
