FLARE U's “Bloom” is about a love that returns like spring after a long cold stretch, bringing warmth back to someone who felt lonely and colorless.

Petals, an ocean of shared memories and a wish to keep them forever give the song a bright, fluttering, hopeful feel.
Key lines
4 lines from the song in Korean, with how they sound and what they mean. The full line-by-line breakdown lives in the app.
네가 내게로 오던 날Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): ni·ga nae·ge·ro o·deon nal
Meaning: The day you came to me
Words in this line- 네가ni·gayou (subject)
- 내게로nae·ge·roto me
- 오던o·deonthat came
- 날nalday
Word for word: You-subject to-me coming day
Why it doesn't translate word for word: In Korean, 오던 is a verb form placed before 날 'day' like an adjective, so 'coming day' is the literal order. English needs a relative clause, 'the day you came'. 내게로 is 'toward me', which becomes simply 'to me'.
긴 겨울 끝에 너라는 봄이 와Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): gin gyeo·ul kkeu·te neo·ra·neun bo·mi wa
Meaning: After a long winter, spring called you has come
Words in this line- 긴ginlong
- 겨울gyeo·ulwinter
- 끝에kkeu·teat the end
- 너라는neo·ra·neuncalled you
- 봄이bo·mispring
- 와wacomes
Word for word: Long winter's end-at, called-you spring comes.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 끝에 on its own is 'at the end', here meaning 'after'. 너라는 joins 너 'you' and 라는 'called', so literally 'the spring called you', meaning you are the spring. Winter stands for loneliness and spring for love.
영원토록 남아 있기를Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): yeong·won·to·rok na·ma it·kki·reul
Meaning: May they remain forever
Words in this line- 영원토록yeong·won·to·rokforever
- 남아na·maremaining
- 있기를it·kki·reulmay it be
Word for word: Forever remaining existing hope.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 영원토록 means 'forever', 남아 'remaining' and 있다 'to be'. The ending -기를 is not a word by itself but carries a wish, 'may it be so', which is why natural English needs 'may'.
오직 너만 줄 수 있는 이 느낌Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): o·jik neo·man jul ssu in·neun i neu·kkim
Meaning: This feeling only you can give me
Words in this line- 오직o·jikonly
- 너만neo·manonly you
- 줄julto give
- 수ssupossibility
- 있는in·neunthat can
- 이ithis
- 느낌neu·kkimfeeling
Word for word: Only you-alone give-can-exist-that this feeling
Why it doesn't translate word for word: Korean packs 'can give' into a phrase stacked in front of the noun: 줄 ('to give') + 수 ('possibility') + 있는 ('existing') literally means 'give-possibility-having'. English just says 'can give'. That is why the literal version is clumsy while the natural one sounds like a simple confession.
