As per the announcement of Daesung’s new agency R&D Company, the said single will be officially released on December 18.
With the aim to provide comfort to the listeners throughout the holiday vibes, the song’s healing lyrics and Daesung’s warm vocals are expected to create a perfect match for the season.

Furthermore, this will be Daesung’s first solo output in over six years. As he had his last solo release in 2017 with the Japanese EP Delight 2. Throughout this period, he also served in the military between March 2018 and November 2019.
Moreover, the upcoming single will also be the singer’s first release under his new label. In December 2022, Daesung parted ways with YG Entertainment after 16 years following the expiration of his contract.
After the idol’s signing in April 2023, R&D Company warmly welcomed Daesung by forming the subdivision D-LABLE. According to the agency, the specific subdivision will be dedicated to handle the idol’s individual activities.
As this marks a new beginning for the idol, VIPs, BIGBANG’s fanbase, were thrilled to see members Taeyang and G-Dragon showing their support to their fellow member.
On their personal Instagram accounts, both Taeyang and G-Dragon shared stories of Daesung’s comeback teaser.

I personally think Daesung shines with ballads and with BIGBANG, they're very intentional with the stuff they put out so these solo releases are going to continue their story.
Can't wait to give Dae his flowers with this comeback. 💛#DAESUNG #FLOW @d_lable https://t.co/xSBpYc4JMm

Aside from the special single, fans can also look forward to his return in variety shows. In October, it was confirmed that Daesung will be judging the new trot competition show titled Living King.
As for his activities with BIGBANG, the quartet released “Still Life” in April 2022. It served as the group’s first release in nearly four years. Currently, there’s no official confirmation as to whether BIGBANG will continue releasing music together as T.O.P hinted that he exited the group.
