Singer Rothy released her new single 'First Train' through various online music release sites at 6 p.m. on the 26th. This new song is the second work in the 'FLAT' project, which captures the process of finding one's own pace and balance rather than following the standards of others.

Roshi Reveals Journey of Finding Her Own Pace with New Single 'First Train'

This track continues the flow of her previous work, 'Don't Be.' Based on the determination expressed in her previous song to protect her true self, she musically unfolds the process of ending wandering and being reborn as an independent subject who decides the direction of her own life.

'First Train' Releases the Second Music Release of the 'FLAT' Project

The lyrics and narrative of 'First Train' focus on the internal changes of the narrator. The setting depicts a narrator who leaves past wandering behind and boards the first train for the first time, going beyond mere movement to become an 'engineer' who decides their own destination and begins the journey.

The musical direction follows the passage of time. Rothy's vocals implement an emotional line of finding the courage to love again amidst changing timeframes, from dawn to sunset and through the rising moonlight.

The official video released alongside the music release visually supports the song's message. The video captures the image of escaping a fixed daily routine to embark on a lighthearted journey and the process of focusing entirely on oneself in an unfamiliar place to find one's own direction.

Regarding this project, Rothy stated, "I hope each song remains as a single scene, and those scenes slowly accumulate to eventually connect into one story." She continued, "Rather than feeling any pressure when encountering the music, I hope listeners will listen to each song without burden, at their own pace."
