WHAT I THINK THE STORY IS ABOUT In the behind the scene IU says that the story is that she lost all her memories and sheโs downloading them.. so sheโs remembering them, some fans think that in the animation part that the airplane is where life is going and when the plane start to shake it indicates how life is tough sometime, the lizard disappears in those moment which indicates thatโs it gone which people think itโs about Jonghyun who sadly died from depression. The animated girl in the white dress is Sulli where first she is going fiercely throughout the jungle and then she couldnโt take it anymore, she jumped where a moon is reflected behind her which maybe about the last place IU saw her (hotel del Luna as a guest star) then the dragon(jonghyun) catches her and they meet in the after life basically, and IU asked โare you happy now?โ Lastly the dragon and the plane where IU is in are going to different direction which indicates life and death. Although theyโre painful memories IU still wants to keep them so when she meets them sheโll know them in the island where no sad ending(heaven). Feel free to share your opinion. And PLEASE guys seek help in those triggering moments, your life is precious. ๐ค๐ค๐ค As always SugaPD was awesome!!

This song has a new but yet distinct sound from Min PD. His guitars and bass are classic now. Also... he actually is in the video, in the animation part in the airplane, SUGA is the person holding the phone sitting across from IU. I also wish his verse was longer, but i also really like how he fit his rapping style to the song. ARMY worldwide are supporting the song, it already got 62 #1 on iTunes charts worldwide and it's been on the #1 spot on iTunes US for a full 24hrs ๐ฅฐ๐

this song is about sulli & jonghyun 8 can mean: - 8 april > is jonghyun birthday - 8 years the iu & sulli friendship the girl in white dress is sulli the lizard & dragon is jonghyun that's why when the girl & the dragon (sulli & jonghyun) together, IU cry

the lizard is jonghyun (charmander), the dragon is hara and the girl is sulli. Note that the animated version of them are also more faded out compared to the animated IU, they are memories. It would take me one hour to type all the things that are going on in the video but yes, it's a very beautiful song and mv.

Yoongi producing this is enough for us. As we all know, he's an amazing producer. Him featuring on this song is another factor. Even tho is a short verse, it's still beautiful ๐ and I think the line distribution is just fine. IU's vocals matched well to the entire song. She is such a queen. We are all grateful!
i've heard from others that this song is directly referencing IU's late friends Jonghyun and Sulli. it's implied that the girl in white dress is Sulli and the dragon is Jonghyun. (dragon is his favorite) . the song is about how IU has to face the fact that her friends are dead . as you can see in the mv, IU is in the airplane and she sees Sulli flying happily with the dragon (Jonghyun) . she's sad but also smiling bcs she's now assured that her friends are now in a better place . there are more references in the mv . it's my interpretation tho, everyone has different opinions . :)

Thanks for the reaction! The song is very bittersweet but yet hopeful. I think their lyrics are written to encompass more.. in terms of dealing with loss of people/ relationship/ younger self etc ... so many people can relate to it especially in the current situation. And itโs an interesting harmony/ sound between IU & Suga which I would love to see more of.
@kailani8084 ะถัะป ะฑาฑััะฝ
SayWhimisico - you and me both!! I canโt explain why, but I have this feeling that this song will be continued but from Sugaโs perspective. Maybe a solo track from Agust D where IU becomes the featured artist. 2:48 for a song just seems too short and the ending of the song doesnโt feel complete to me, but then again, I could be completely off base and just wishfully thinking here!!
@wateverusae874 ะถัะป ะฑาฑััะฝ
kailani Yes! Itโs really short with 2:48 (that theory of 2*4=8)! Making us wanting more, which perhaps may be deliberate based on some fans since the subject is about things ending without goodbyes/ least expected ..but hopefully Suga will do a follow up in the mixtape with some featuring as u mentioned! Yay!
@kailani8084 ะถัะป ะฑาฑััะฝ

As always, I love your commentary and reactions! CM reacting with such WOW when Sean mentioned the 8 being a Mobius strip (or infinity sign) was adorable. I loved hearing CM talk about how IU was a comfort to him in the military and then fanboy during the song. I do wish Suga's part was longer - but I think it is also representative of how short their time was together - in the story of the song. That a memory is just a short glimpse and leaves you longing for more. The song makes me sad and yet happy. Hope you're all doing well and staying healthy! (Sorry - commenting from a different YT account today.)
Actually if u watch IU official youtube channel.. there a Behind the scene.. the title Eight simply is because both IU n Suga have the same age.. she refer their age 28 n choose Eight as their title.. she said she just wrote her lyrics comfortably following the good melody vibe.. at the beginning.. she's actually downloading her memories in that room.. anyway i remember bits n pieces from that video.. u guys can watch it urself.. she's adorable.. with regards to deep meaning.. yall can make the theory after watching behind the scene.. ๐

Infinity sign! I was thinking the same thing when I heard the song came out too. It's really go well with the title 8:EIGHT.... Life will keep going & never ending, we die in this world but we don't know what will happen in the after life but we keep bring the memories back so its never died, again & again & cherish the beautiful moment. This is my opinion when I listen the song๐
omg you and i from iu. i like her since 2011 when you and i came out, and has been yoongi's fans since 2014. im so happy that those two did a collab i want to cry
If you listen to this with the theory that it was dedicated to her 3 friends who suddenly left w/o saying goodbye, itโll hit differently. Feels like this is IUโs way of letting her friends know she finally accepted it knowing they are probably happy now.. she finally had closure & that she is now okay..
