Kim Na Young Unveils New Emotional Single ‘Only the Heart You’ll Recognize’
Korean ballad artist Kim Na Young is back with a new emotionally charged single titled ‘Only the Heart You’ll Recognize’. The song drops on major online music platforms on April 27 at 6 PM KST, promising to capture listeners with its deep and tender sentiment.
‘Only the Heart You’ll Recognize’ opens with a delicate guitar sound, gradually layering piano, bass, drums, and strings to build a rich and elaborate background. Over this intricate arrangement, Kim Na Young’s restrained yet powerful vocals shine, drawing listeners into a calm yet profoundly emotional atmosphere.
The lyrics, depicting feelings difficult to confess, are delicately delivered through Kim’s whisper-like voices and straightforward confessions, evoking the emotional experience of reading an old, cherished letter. True to its title, the song aims to leave a lingering impact, like a memory recognizable only to the heart.
This release marks the singer’s reunion with guitarist and artist Jung Jae, who previously collaborated with Kim on her hit ‘A Letter For You’. For this track, Jung Jae enriches the soundscape with nylon guitar arpeggios, adding a greater depth of feeling and emotional resonance.
The music video teaser, unveiled a day prior, features actress Pyo Ye Jin, known for her roles in Korean dramas 쌈, 마이웨이, 김비서가 왜 그럴까, and 모범택시. Her emotive and sensitive acting enhances the song’s poignant mood, raising anticipation for the full release.
Meanwhile, Kim Na Young will host her solo concert ‘2025 Kim Na Young Concert “Na” On The Voice : To the Letter’ at the Daeyang Hall of Sejong University in Seoul from May 24 to 25, offering fans a firsthand experience of her new music and timeless hits.
