Former Fly to the Sky member Hwanhee revealed that there was a painful love story behind his new song, “I Feel Like I’m Going to Die“.

The singer is releasing his first full solo-album since debuting 12 years ago, and he confessed during his interview with StarIn News that his title track contained lyrics that hit very close to home.

Hwanhee explained that he had just gone through a difficult break-up, and so when he came across the lyrics “I didn’t think the pain would last, I need to get this off my chest / I feel as though I can’t go on / Won’t you come back to me”, he was struck by how similar his personal situation was to the song’s story.

He stated, “I can’t reveal her identity, but six months ago I ended things with the woman I dated for two years… my new title track tells of my emotional breakup experience.”

“People in relationships fight and get back together all the time. We did that too, repeatedly. I acted like the break-up didn’t bother me, but I didn’t realize it would be the last. It was so hard. I felt like I couldn’t live without her,” he said thinking back.

Hwanhee didn’t write the actual song itself – it was written by composer Jo Jun Young, but because Hwanhee had shared his heartache with him, Hwanhee’s emotions naturally carried into the song.

“I don’t want to be with her again, despite what the lyrics say. She isn’t mine anymore,” he explained. “After being lost for so long, I reached out to her only to find that she had someone else. The hardest thing was acknowledging her new relationship. I loved her enough to spend the rest of my life with her. I thought that she of all people would still wait for me, even if I left her. I guess I was selfish.”

“It should’ve ended with the break-up but the break-up then turned into a song,” he said. “I worried that she may be hurt after hearing it, but as a musician, naturally I express my emotions through my music. I hope that it won’t affect her emotionally,” he concluded.
