Artist Comment
The title "BLESSLESS" is a word that I came up with in the process of finding the overlap between the work and myself and writing the song, and in the song, I put various pains I have experienced in my life.

I wrote this song with the message that no matter how inferior or less fortunate I may be, I need to speak up for myself and say that I am who I am in order to not let anyone else determine my value.

I hope you will listen to it as a song that inspires you.
