Following the announcement regarding SM The Ballad’s comeback this February, SM Entertainment has revealed the new members of the special group and their album’s official track list.
SM The Ballad’s second album “Breath” will be released on February 13 and will contain 6 original songs sung by SM Entertainment artists.

The track list for “Breath” has been organized in such a way that it would tell a story in the theme of “separation”.
The official song titles are as follows:
1. “Dear” – Intro
2. “Breath” – It will talk about the feelings of a man and woman after going through breakup.
3. “I Was Greedy” – Specifically talks about a man’s point of view after separation.
4. “Set Me Free” –Sung by Taeyeon; talks about a woman’s point of view after separation.
5. “One Day” – A duet by Jonghyun and Chen; talks about how life has changed post breakup.
6. “The Good and Bad” – A duet by Krystal and Chen; talks about the conversation between the man and the woman when they meet coincidentally after awhile.
“Breath” and “I Was Greedy” will be sung in three different languages. The Korean version of “Breath” is sung by Taeyeon and Jonghyun, while the Chinese version will be rendered by Chen and Zhang Li yin. The Japanese version, on the other hand, will be covered by Chagmin and Krystal.
As for “I Was Greedy”, the Korean and Japanese version will be done by Yesung, and the Chinese version will be sung by Zhoumi.
Despite the similar thought of the songs, the varying language and singer will give each version a different colour and style.
