He introduced the album track "My Heart" with that feeling in mind. Taeyang explained, It is a song made while thinking of the fans, and conveyed the sincerity contained in the lyrics, In your heart become a petal / Become a path in my scattering life / Become a light in my dark heart / My dear, shine light on my heart.
He also explained the new title "Live Fast Die Slow." Taeyang said, There is originally an expression in the West, "Live Fast Die Young (live short and intense)," and I changed it in my own way, adding, It contains the meaning of, Even in a fast-moving world, I will live each day burning with my own speed and direction.
Above all, when asked about Big Bang's 20th anniversary activity plans, Taeyang gave a meaningful answer. He said, The first start will probably be my solo project, raising expectations about Big Bang's future movements.
