Background

"Wake Me Up" was released simultaneously alongside "Darling" to promote his third studio album White Night.[1] It debuted at No. 9 on the World Digital Song Sales as the fifth-best selling K-pop song in America that week[2] and peaked at No. 5.[3] Tamar Herman from Billboard magazine states that the two singles showcased Taeyang at his "most sentimental." Described as "an ambient track about the dreamlike state of love," the music video features the singer as he sings "amidst the glitter-infused dreamscape."[4]
