🌠 Rising Indie Star HANRORO’s Pre-release Single
HANRORO is a singer-songwriter who debuted in 2022 and was nominated for Rookie of the Year at the Korean Music Awards. Though she may seem small and young, her lyrics are deeper and more thoughtful than first appear. Now, she is back with a pre-release single, ‘Can I Be Me?’, ahead of her upcoming third EP.
⬆️[MV] HANRORO – Can I Be Me?
The song filled with confusion and the search for meaning in life. We all have moments when life feels unfair, when we feel like we’re falling. HANRORO’s voice and lyrics speak for those moments, ‘Can I Be Me?’.
“Does she know that falling endlessly doesn’t hurt?
I can’t interpret the answer of this world
Where should I go?”
