"Love Poem" is a song by South Korean singer-songwriter IU, released by Kakao M as the lead single from her seventh Korean-language EP Love Poem on November 1, 2019.
IU wrote the ballad to support loved ones who are going through hard times,[2] saying: "It is difficult to see the person you love is becoming isolated.
"[1] "Love Poem" was written by IU and Lee Jong-hoon.
Tamar Herman of Billboard described it as "a poignant, inspiring ballad full of warmth and comfort".
[3] Writing for The Straits Times, Jan Lee commented that the song "feels particularly poignant given that IU lost one of her close friends, K-pop star Sulli, to a suspected suicide last month".
