After the title song, Chodan explained the meaning behind it. She said it expresses a determination to carry on despite overwhelming sadness. The band added a sentimental touch to their bright sound, creating a song well-suited for summer.
Magenta mentioned the song’s high difficulty and said she practiced until her fingerprints didn’t register on devices. She added that fitness YouTuber Kim Gyeran consoled her by saying even athletes experience that. Magenta shared her desire to close the first chapter of QWER’s story beautifully with this comeback.
Q-POP identity and chart success define rising girl band
Hina introduced the term “Q-POP” to describe QWER’s unique music style. She expressed hope that listeners would recognize their songs instantly as QWER’s. The group has consistently ranked high on domestic music charts. With “Holding Back Tears,” they aim for a fourth consecutive hit, solidifying their position as a top “favorite girl band.”
Previous hits like “T.B.H” and “My Name is Malguem” boosted their presence. “My Name is Malguem” ranked No. 2 on Melon’s Hot 100 and held first place on YouTube Music’s weekly chart for two weeks, confirming their chart dominance.
