Breakup Diary 2 is the follow-up to the Breakup Diary 1 EP released in 2020. The breakup diary expresses the beginning and end of the breakup as a ‘diary’ in the form of a song. Breakup Diary 1, which realistically captures the process of a breakup, received much love for its vivid emotional expressions, lyrics based on actual experiences, and dreamlike expressions of sadness and sorrow.
While Breakup Diary 1 deals with the pain felt during the process of breaking up, Breakup Diary 2 deals with the various emotional changes felt after a breakup and the process of healing wounds. The development of the album coincides with the process of healing Yunbi's own wounds. Reminiscing about the toxic things experienced during the breakup process, such as the catharsis felt after a breakup, respect for one's own value, and gaslighting between lovers, is carried out. This is an album that deals with the things you realize after a breakup and acceptance of them.
A characteristic of this album is that no lyrics were written before recording. I recorded my thoughts and feelings after the breakup that day. I recorded each word as a freestyle. The strengths of Breakup Diary 1 were maintained. It is an album with a more popular topline and many addictive songs that mix indie/R&B/rock genres. Breakup Diary 2 is Yunbi's second full-length album released after 8 years.
