Mind Is Light was self-recorded & mixed at the bands own studio in Busan, and mastered by Matthew Barnhart at Chicago Mastering Service.
Lyricist Sumi Choi reflects on dealing with mental health and life’s anxieties, with exercise, nature and acceptance. The band’s signature melancholy is balanced with rays of hope.

“We wanted to make a simple song like the early songs of Say Sue Me.
I wish I could take my mind lightly, but it easily becomes heavy. I thought about how to lighten my mind. First of all, I walk outside and BELIEVE that my heart is light. Second, I think it doesn't matter if it's not true.” Sumi Choi
lyrics
Mind is Light
Out of town, walk on a quiet mountain
The sun pours down
And my face unwinds
I’ve got a lot on my mind
But I know I’ll be fine
I’m trying to have a good time
Now my body and mind are light
Even if it's not true, I don't mind
Walk all the way to the trees, the rocks and the water
Will you be there?
I’ve got a lot on my mind
But I know I’ll be fine
I’m trying to have a good time
Now my body and mind are light
Even If it's not true, I don't mind
