Behind the song

This song is the lead single from IU's 6th EP titled The Winning. IU wrote the lyrics herself, along with Seo Dong-hwan who composed the melody. Originally, the song was titled "Love Wins," but the agency changed the name to "Love Wins All" before its release to avoid issues with the title overlapping with the marriage equality slogan in the United States.
