K-pop boy band NCT Dream are ringing out 2018 with some “Candle Light.” The act’s newest song was released Thursday (Dec. 27) as part of the South Korean company’s Station 3 digital release series.
A mellow pop track that gets into the seasonal mood with sweet strings and melodies, plus the occasional rap thrown in, “Candle Light” compares romance to the titular illumination and expresses gratitude over being able to be with a loved one.
“Candle Light” is the final song from NCT Dream’s current lineup, as member Mark, who is credited with writing lyrics, is aging out of the youth-oriented team at the end of the year; members of NCT age out of the Dream unit after their 19th birthday, age of adulthood in South Korea. It’s the third single from NCT Dream this year, following “Go” and “We Go Up.”
