Closing her speech, IU stated, "I'd like to express my utmost gratitude to, while not my blood relative, my best friend, my no.1 fan, my star and my muse Yoo In-na." First acquainted with at the SBS entertainment show 'Heroes,' the two celebs became the the bestest of friends despite their 11-year-old gap.

IU revealed her song-in-preparation to her fans at her 8-year-anniversary event since her debut.

The lyrics read "In a faraway place, amidst strange miscellanies, feeling a bit empty, I reminisce you, you that I miss." "In a faraway place, I yearn for that someone, in a pitch black night, I reminisce you, the only one."

The lyrics, apparently, are said to deal with the solitude IU felt when her means of connection were lost to Yoo In-na, as IU was busy filming 'Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo' in a secluded place where cell phones lost connection. Fans co-named the song 'You,' but it was never released.
