“내 안의 모든 시와 소설은” (All My Poetry) is the title track of CLOSE YOUR EYES’ debut album “ETERNALT,” released on April 2, 2025. It arrived just three months after the JTBC survival show “Project 7” ended — the very show through which the boy group was formed in the first place.

About ALL MY POETRY
Just 6 days after their debut, CLOSE YOUR EYES took first place on the music show “The Show” with “All My Poetry.”
The lyrics are about a love so powerful it keeps the narrator awake at night. He tries to express his feelings through poems and novels but can’t find the right words. Above all, he wonders whether it even matters if he puts his feelings into writing. The song is full of love, uncertainty, and hope.
