Lyrics

Ooh
Oh yeah

Who said that you should walk out?
Who said that love was over?
Who said that you could walk out?
Who said that love was gone?

Who said that you should walk out?
Who said that love was over?
Who said that you could walk out?
Who said that love was gone?

Hold on and wait one minute
Think you need reminding, hon
I was the one who
Never let you be without all you needed

Now just think about what you'll be missing
And you know, you should think
Could it be, together we could fix it
Whatever's wrong, love is worth saving

I was the one who helped you
To find your place in life (I was the one!)
And when nobody loved you
The heart you knew was mine

I was the warmth and comfort
Each day and every night (I was the one!)
And when you needed someone
I held your hand in mine

(I was the one!)
Yeah! (I was the one!)

Oh baby, I was the one, the one, (I was the one!) the one-the one, the one, the one,
Oh yes, I was the one, the one, (I was the one!) the one-the one, the one, the one, yeah.

Song Production Information

dj TAKA

A sad yet beautiful piano-centered gameplay that is unique to 2DX.
The song's selling point is Double Play. Piano sounds are assigned to all 14 keys, so the feeling of playing using the fingers of both arms feels like playing a real piano.
It might be a bit disappointing for the difficulty level of pure Double players, but to those who have never played Double before, there's no doubt that it's the gateway to it.
Of course, 1P is also refined, so 1P fans don't worry!!

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

Italo House means house music made in Italy.
Italy is famous as the main source of Eurobeat these days, but I can feel the essence of this song's beautiful melody interspersed by the piano, and the powerful female vocals, etc.
It was an essential genre for early '90s rave parties, and although it's not an original movie, I assigned something like an image of a party at a resort during those days.
However, I've never been to one, so it's something I made from my imagination...
(I wish I could go to Ibiza even now! As a side note, the sea in the movie is from Kujukuri Beach in Chiba...)
