It’s a song based on Sowon’s and Umji’s experiences that tries to tell a story of overcoming uncertain moments and finding your own color with a result of when it suits you, you'll bloom beautifully.

It is a latin-styled medium pop song centered on guitars and electric piano where you could feel the two members' different charms.

Lyrics

Korean
또다시 망설이지 마 아무도 너를 막지 못해 애써 돌아서지 마 아픈 기억은 다 지워내 피어 봐 외쳐 봐 절대 I won't lose 땅속 깊이 너에게 닿는 그 순간에 No doubt you'll shine and bloom Black dark night 어두운 이 밤에 눈 감지 않기를 바랄게 Stay strong 거친 이 시간 속에도 잃어버린 널 찾아봐 Find it now 너의 Color 너의 향기도 I like me better now 꽃피우는 계절이 다른 것뿐 때가 됐어 널 기대할게 너의 Color 너의 향기도 I like me better now Better now 때로는 짙은 어둠 속에 갇혀 흔들려 다시 또 잡아 담담하게 맘을 비워내 Keep your eyes wide open Black dark night 어두운 이 밤에 돌아서진 않기로 해 Stay strong 더 거친 시간 속에도 잃어버린 널 찾아봐 Find it now 너의 Color 너의 향기도 I like me better now 꽃피우는 계절이 다른 것뿐 때가 됐어 널 기대할게 너의 Color 너의 향기도 I like me better now Better now 감싸오는 낯선 향기 이젠 오랜 기다림의 끝에 새로운 널 마주해 어느새 다가와 겹쳐오는 Color 꿈들이 펼쳐져 스며들어 세상을 물들여 별빛도 숨죽인 밤 가득 찬 이 온기가 A flor de flor Aún más bella No tengas miedo 널 피워내 봐 더는 숨기지 마 널 찾아내 다른 색깔 다른 향기처럼 안 보여도 널 보여줘 봐 꽃피우는 계절이 그저 다른 시간 꺾여 지칠 때 그 안에서 Waiting for you cause you're on your way 잃어버린 널 찾아봐 Find it now 너의 Color 너의 향기도 I like me better now 꽃피우는 계절이 다른 것뿐 때가 됐어 널 기대할게 너의 Color 너의 향기도 I like me better now Better now

Translation
Don't hesitate again No one can stop you Don't try to turn around Erase all painful memories Look, look, shout, never I won't lose At the moment I reach you deep in the ground No doubt you’ll shine and bloom Black dark night I hope you don't close your eyes on this dark night Stay strong Even in this rough time Find you lost Find it now Your color, your scent, I like me better now The flowering season is different, the time has come, I will look forward to you Your color, your scent, I like me better now Better now Sometimes I'm trapped in the deep darkness and I'm shaken Hold it again and calmly empty your heart Keep your eyes wide open Black dark night I decided not to turn around on this dark night Stay strong Even in rougher times Find you lost Find it now Your color, your scent, I like me better now The flowering season is different, the time has come, I will look forward to you Your color, your scent, I like me better now Better now Unfamiliar scent that wraps around Now, after a long wait, I face the new you Color that comes to me and overlaps Dreams unfold and seep and color the world This warmth full of nights where the starlight also held breath A flor de flor Aún más bella No tengas miedo Smoke you, don't hide it anymore, find you Even if it doesn't look like a different color, different scent Show me the time when the flowering season is just different When you're broken and tired, inside Waiting for you cause you're on your way Find you lost Find it now Your color, your scent, I like me better now The flowering season is different, the time has come, I will look forward to you Your color, your scent, I like me better now Better now
