GFRIEND (Sowon, Yerin, Eunha, Yuju, SinB, Umji) is back together, and their fans couldn’t be happier! The group surprised everyone by pre-releasing their heartfelt new song "Season of Memories" on January 6 to celebrate their 10th anniversary.

The special track, which will be part of their upcoming album, was first performed as a surprise at the 39th Golden Disc Awards. That performance has now become the most-viewed clip from the entire event, showing just how much fans still adore the group. Following the overwhelming response, GFRIEND and Source Music shared the emotional and behind-the-scenes journey of creating the song.

The six members personally took part in the making of "Season of Memories," working closely with their longtime Source Music team. They were involved in everything—from choosing the song’s themes to making key production decisions. Despite their busy lives, the members prioritized recording together, giving feedback to ensure the track captured their emotions perfectly.

In a statement through Source Music, GFRIEND shared:
"This song is our gift to Buddy (our fans). When we first heard it, we felt it truly represented who we are as a group. The lyrics tell our story, and it brought us so much joy and even tears. We hope that everyone, especially Buddy, feels the same emotions we did. We are so thankful to our staff and producers for helping us create something so special."

The producers behind the song, Noh Joo-hwan and Lee Won-jong, also opened up about the process:
"Being part of GFRIEND’s 10th-anniversary project was unlike anything else we’ve done. We wanted to make music that only GFRIEND could bring to life. It was an incredible experience, full of meaning and gratitude."

The song’s title, "Season of Memories," is deeply tied to GFRIEND’s history with their fans. It was inspired by a slogan from their first concert: "We’ll always stay with you in your warm seasons." The lyrics include references to their past songs, with lines like "As the clock’s hands divide the night" calling back to "Rough" and "Time for the Moon Night," while "Finally, we’ve found you" connects to "Crossroads."

GFRIEND’s special album, "Season of Memories," will officially drop on January 13 at 6 PM KST, and fans can’t wait to relive the magic this iconic group brings. Are you ready for the next chapter of GFRIEND’s unforgettable journey?
