‘I Hope It Lasts Forever’ is built on nostalgia and pays homage to Qrion’s childhood memories.

On the release, she explains: “I connected with my old memories - the feelings of spending time with my Dad, the time I lived with my family in Japan, and the small but important moments of my life from my life in Sapporo.”
