Girls’ Generation’s Yuri kicked off 2018 with a solo track, teaming up with the South Korean EDM producer Raiden.
“Always Find You” was released Friday through SM Station, a weekly song-release project under SM Entertainment, Yuri’s label. It is the first time in five years since Yuri last released a solo song.
The mellow dance track was released with a music video directed by Chuck David Willis. It features Yuri chilling in Los Angeles and getting intimate with friends by a pool before taking her to the club, where she locks eyes with the band’s keyboard player. The video ends with her waking up next to her musician lover. Raiden also features in the music video, appearing as the band’s singer and guitarist.
Yuri, known prominently within Girls’ Generation as one of the group’s main dancers, and also an actor in her own right, has released a handful of songs in the past, including 2016’s standout SM Station song and Pantene ad “Secret” with Seohyun. Yuri’s last solo songs came out of her role in the 2013 film No Breathing.
“Always Find You” is one of the first releases from a Girls’ Generation member since last year saw members Sooyoung, Seohyun and Tiffany leave SM Entertainment. The group’s future remains unclear, though the majority of the women have their own solo careers keeping them in the spotlight.
