CheChe drops ‘Face,’ a song that mixes introspection with a steady beat. Dagabazi and Haruhi write the lyrics, while a team of composers, including Shu Saida and Takahiro Uchida, crafts the melody. The track tells the story of someone caught between moving forward and staying stuck.
The poet mentions being ‘the last in this evolution,’ a line that highlights personal struggle and growth. CheChe sings about wanting to run away but choosing to survive instead. The artist uses the metaphor of being ‘stuck in the middle’ to describe the tension between holding on and letting go.
