1. I Love You (TITLE 1)
Shaking the heart in the name of love,
A single confession, opened up and told with childish honesty.
The retro-sensory dance song 'I Love You' delivered by Ahn Sung-hoon is,
This is a love song that expresses the overwhelming feelings for someone at this very moment in the most sincere language.

'I Love You' is a retro dance song based on synth-pop with a motif of 80s and 90s sensibility.
With flashy, sparkling synthesizers and rhythmically spreading drum patterns,
And the lead line swimming above it
It unfolds like a romantic drama.

I was captivated at first sight,
A cheerful and passionate confession that he will give a 'password' just for one person,
It vividly conveys the excitement and thrill of the moment of falling in love.

As the lyrics say, “It’s childish, but take my heart too.”
It resonates even deeper when combined with Ahn Sung-hoon's unique warm and honest tone.

In particular, this song was produced by hitmaker producer DOKO and Ahn Sung-hoon.
This is the first work that we have worked together on,
Doko delicately brings out the pure emotion of Ahn Sung Hoon's vocals.
They have completed 'music of sincerity' that shines brighter than any other trend.

'I Love You', which puts the excitement of this era on top of a retro rhythm,
This is a song about a 'love that we want to keep forever' that everyone has dreamed of at least once.
This is a confession written in the purest and warmest language by Ahn Sung-hoon.

Ahn Sung Hoon's sincerity dedicated to our first and last love.
The words “I love you” he says are a moving experience in itself.

2. One person... (TITLE 2)
It is a ballad song that properly contains sorrowful emotions.
The song begins with Jeonju Kwon Byung-ho's harmonica performance, and then it goes on to a place where he spent time with his loved one.
The vocals, like lonely footsteps, continue. Like the lyrics, 'After losing one person, I miss one person,'
It vividly expresses the feelings of not being able to forget a past love. The vocals are excellent in tempo, sometimes as if speaking and sometimes as if crying.
This song stands out for its restrained arrangement that captures the vocalist's emotions.
This song, in which Ahn Sung-hoon contributed to the lyrics, gave birth to various emotional songs such as 'Mom's Flower', 'Good', 'Princess', 'Eun-in', and 'Homemade Food' with Ahn Sung-hoon.
The national songwriting duo 'Algoboni Cone State' composed, wrote, and arranged the song.

3. Smile, my friend.
Tired and struggling
Or are you suffering from the pain of life?
A song of praise that gives them fighting spirit and comfort
“Smile, Friend” is a funky uptempo genre song.
A light and easy-to-follow melody that anyone can sing along to
It's exciting, but the philosophy in the lyrics is
Life's insights are songs that never give light resonance.

4. The Heartless Night Train
In the works of poet Kwon Ki-dong
A song by singer-songwriter Chu Ga-yeol
The completed Heartless Night Train
A work completed with Ahn Sung-hoon's passionate voice.
It was a time when there were local trains.
This song is about a lover leaving on a night train, singing about the pain of separation.
"Last greeting or in a loud voice
"It's a miracle"
The sadness of separation was expressed dramatically in poetic terms.
The heartless night train that tramples on love and leaves
In a mournful voice, the verses of resentment are sung
It is a well-expressed work.
This song clearly shows Seo Chang-won's unique arrangement.

5. Because it's a secret
As it turned out, the sadness created by the long communication between Ahn Sung-hoon and the coma was added to the beauty.
The 'Edelweiss' theme that flows in the first half of the song is like the flower language of Edelweiss,
It symbolizes 'courage, patience, and noble love', and although it is not accessible now,
It is a song that contains a beautiful wait to approach with noble love when the time comes.
This song features the best session musicians in Korea, including guitarist Lee Seong-ryeol, chorusist Kim Hyun-a, and stringist Yung String.
It shows the essence of emotional ballads by the composing duo 'Algoboni Cone State'.

1. 사랑해요 (TITLE 1)
사랑이란 이름으로 심장을 흔들고,
유치하리만큼 솔직하게 가슴을 열어 전하는 단 한 번의 고백.
안성훈이 전하는 레트로 감성 댄스곡 '사랑해요'는,
지금 이 순간 누군가를 향해 벅차오르는 마음을 가장 진심 어린 언어로 담아낸 러브송이다.

'사랑해요'는 80~90년대 감성을 모티프로 한 신스팝 기반의 레트로 댄스곡으로,
화려하게 반짝이는 신디사이저와 리드미컬하게 퍼지는 드럼 패턴,
그리고 그 위를 유영하는 리드 라인이
한 편의 로맨틱 드라마처럼 구성지게 펼쳐진다.

한 눈에 마음을 빼앗기고,
한 사람만을 위한 '암호'를 쥐어주겠다는 유쾌하고도 뜨거운 고백은,
사랑에 빠진 순간의 들뜬 감정과 설레는 떨림을 생생하게 전한다.

가사 속 “유치하지만 내 심장도 가져가요”라는 표현처럼,
안성훈 특유의 따뜻하고 정직한 음색을 만나 더욱 깊은 울림으로 다가온다.

특히 이번 곡은 히트메이커 프로듀서 DOKO(도코)와 안성훈이
처음으로 호흡을 맞춘 작품으로,
도코는 안성훈만의 보컬 결과 순수한 감정의 결을 섬세하게 끌어올려
그 어떤 트렌드보다도 빛나는 '진심의 음악'을 완성해냈다.

복고적인 리듬 위에 지금 이 시대의 설렘을 얹은 '사랑해요'는,
누구나 한 번쯤 꿈꿔봤을 '영원히 간직하고 싶은 사랑'에 대한 노래이자,
안성훈이 들려주는 가장 순수하고 따뜻한 언어로 쓰인 고백이다.

우리 모두의 첫사랑, 그리고 마지막 사랑에게 바치는 안성훈의 진심.
그가 건네는 “사랑해요”라는 한마디는, 그 자체로 하나의 감동이다.

2. 한 사람을... (TITLE 2)
애절한 감성이 제대로 담겨있는 발라드곡이다.
전주의 권병호의 하모니카연주로 곡은 시작되며, 그 후 사랑하는 사람과 함께 했던 장소를 찾아가듯
쓸쓸한 발걸음같은 보컬이 이어진다. ' 한 사람을 잃고서, 한 사람을 그리워한다 라는 가사처럼,
지난 사랑을 잊지못하는 마음을 실감나게 표현하였다. 때로는 말하듯이 때로는 울부짖듯이 보컬의 완급이 뛰어나다.
보컬의 감성을 위해 절제된 편곡이 돋보이는 곡이다.
안성훈이 작사에 힘을 보탠 이 곡은 안성훈과 '엄마꽃' , '좋다' , '공주님', '은인', '집밥' 등 다양한 감성의 곡들을 탄생시킨
국민작곡듀오 '알고보니혼수상태 가 작곡, 작사, 편곡하였다.

3. 웃어라 친구야
지쳐있고 힘들어하는
혹은 세상살이에 고통스러워 하는
이들에게 파이팅과 위로를 주는 찬가인
“웃어라 친구야”는 펑키한 업템포 장르의 곡으로
누구나 따라 부르기 쉬운 멜로디와 가벼우면서도
흥겹지만 노랫말에서 느껴지는 철학과
삶의 통찰은 결코 가볍지 않은 울림을 주는 곡이다.

Lyrics 사마천 Compose 유해준 Arrange 박지만
Guitars 김민규 Chorus 정유신 MIDI programming 박지만


4. 무정한 야간열차
권기동 시인의 작품에
싱어송라이터 추가열의 곡으로
완성된 무정한야간열차는
안성훈의 절절한 보이스로 완성된 작품.
시대적으로는 완행열차가 있던 시절
야간운행열차로 떠나는 연인이 이별의 아픔을 노래한 이곡엔
"마지막 인사던가 큰소리로
기적울리네"
시적인 표현으로 이별의 슬픔을 극적으로 표현했고
사랑밟고 떠나가는 무정한 야간열차를
원망하는 싯귀를 애조띈 목소리로
잘 표현된 작품이다.
서창원의 독특한 편곡이 잘 드러나는 곡이다.

Lyrics 권기동 Compose 추가열 Arrange 서창원
Drums 고중원 Bass 이준현
Keyboard 윤정노 Guitars 서창원
Percussion 유재형 Trumpet 김동하
Trombone 이한진 Saxophone 김수환
Strings 잼 Accordion 권병호
Chorus 김현아


5. 비밀이라서
알고보니혼수상태와 안성훈이 오랜 시간 소통 끝에 탄생시킨 서글픔에 아름다움을 더했다.
곡 전반부에 흐르는 '에델바이스' 테마는 '에델바이스 의 꽃말처럼,
'용기, 인내, 고귀한 사랑'을 상징하며, 지금은 다가설 수 없지만,
언젠가 때가 되면, 고귀한 사랑으로 다가가겠다는 아름다운 기다림을 담고 있는 곡이다.
기타 이성렬, 코러스 김현아, 스트링 융스트링 등 국내 최정상의 세션맨들이 함께 한 이 곡은
작곡듀오 '알고보니혼수상태' 의 감성발라드의 정수를 보여주고 있다.
