NCT’s Jaehyun has dropped a dreamy music video for his first official solo song ‘Forever Only’, which features lyrics he wrote.The guitar-driven mid-tempo R&B song was released today (August 18).

In its sepia-hued music video, Jaehyun contemplates both loneliness and emptiness as he plays the guitar and unwinds at the beach alone.

At night, he goes on a motorbike ride and ends up going for a dip in the ocean.“The empty space you left behind / Fills mе with deeper longing for you / Bit belated this irony / Hеart is lost and lonely, lonely / Leaving a pain that spreads / The goodbye and a final kiss / Now I see you walking away / Be my forever only, only,” Jaehyun croons on the chorus.The NCT 127 member previously co-wrote NCT 127’s ‘Fire Truck’ and NCT U’s ‘Dancing in the Rain’, but ‘Forever Only’ – which is part of the ‘NCT Lab’ project – is his first song where he has full writing credits on the lyrics.SM ‘STATION : NCT LAB’ 재현 첫 솔로곡 ‘Forever Only’ 8월 18일 공개!
