Editor's note
2AM's First Love and the knock at the door
A K-pop ballad about a memory that won't stay locked away.
Wasuretakute mo zutto
The song's power comes from its quiet insistence. It doesn't dramatize the loss; it just documents the persistence of the feeling, the way a first love rewrites your internal geography for good.
The repeated 'Knock, knock, knock' isn't just a sound. It's the pressure of a memory arriving uninvited, the old smile you thought you'd forgotten waiting on the other side of the door. The singer asks 'ima wa dare no egao wo machikogarete', whose smile am I waiting for now, and the answer is already there in the title.
That's the quiet defeat at the center of the song. You can't choose to forget, even when you want to; the memory has its own will.
The way the phrase 'Wasuretakute mo zutto' hangs in the air, 'even if I wanted to forget, forever', feels like the whole song in one breath.

Knock, knock, knock ima wa dare no egao wo
Machikogarete DOA wo akeru no?
Lock, lock, lock kimi no egao tokku ni
Wasurete ita hazu datta no ni
Sayonara nante kotoba dake
Kono kokoro ni wa kizande aru you and I
Knock, knock, knock ima wa boku no egao wo
Machinozonde iru koibito ga iru
Luck, luck, luck kako wo wasureru hodo ni
Love, love, love koi ni ochite iru kedo
Modoreru nara ima sugu ni
Kimi no moto he to hashitte yuku kara
Boku no first love
Wasurerarenai
Wasuretakute mo zutto
Kimi ga yomigaeru
Boku no first love
Kimi ga first love
Ima mo zutto
You are my first love
Eien ni boku no first love
My first love
