Palette is one of IU’s earliest hits that propelled her to stardom as a K-pop soloist. Featuring BIGBANG’s G-Dragon, this track is all about the singer’s self-discovery and getting comfortable with her shell while creating a unique identity.
In the first verse, she talks about the smaller things she appreciates, that may not align with mainstream preference. She also acknowledges that there are some people who like her while others don’t, but she sees it as part of her journey. In the second verse, she continues to empower listeners, singing a tale of self-love.
BIGBANG member G-Dragon takes over the third verse with his powerful rap lyrics. Echoing IU, he talks about how he overcame his past. He encourages listeners to embrace the darkness and walk towards the light rather than fighting it. He also praises the soloist as someone who is cherished and loved by all.
