Heize Celebrates 11th Anniversary with 'Broken Diary' Music Video

Singer-songwriter Heize has released a special live clip for her track "Broken Diary" to celebrate her 11th debut anniversary.

Heize uploaded the music video to her official YouTube channel on January 17 as a surprise for fans.

"Thank you to everyone who has been with me throughout this journey," she said, expressing her gratitude.

In "Broken Diary," the third track off her eighth EP Fallin, released November 6, Heize recalls memories from old journal entries, bathing in the nostalgia of promises she once believed would last forever and people she thought would always remain.

"Now, ten years later, some of those feelings, people, and beliefs have faded," she said in an interview with The Korea Herald.

"This song captures the realization of the impermanence of what I once thought was eternal."

The singer added that the project marked her growth as a songwriter, whereas previous works were straightforward, Fallin signals her pivot to writing lyrics that remain in the abstract.

"The lyrics back in the Unpretty Rapstar (2015) days were raw and straightforward, reflecting a simpler, unfiltered expression," she said.

"Over time, my lyrics have become more complex, likely shaped by my awareness of the audience and personal reflection. Now, I want to restrain myself less, aiming for a freer and more genuine lyrical style moving forward."

"It's hard to write lyrics for brighter songs. Maybe it's a bit of an obsession, but since people love my breakup songs so much, I sometimes feel it's almost my role to keep delivering them. If a new, bright love finds its way to me, things might change."
