Speaking about the track, Peggy Gou said: "When people hear my songs, I want them to feel hope, positivity, good energy. This is especially the case with Nabi. We've all been through so much over the last year and it's about facing up to the problems and negativity in our lives and learning how to deal with it. It's also about acceptance - accepting that it's ok to feel this way. When people hear "Nabi", they'll hopefully feel the same sense of healing - that feeling that everything's going to be ok - that I feel when I listen to the songs that inspired it."

OHHYUK said: “It's been a long time since Covid-19 has adapted to the changes it has made in society. It contains the desire to become a butterfly and fly away from the beautiful days before.”
