Background and release

"Sunset Glow" was originally recorded by Lee Moon-sae for his fifth studio album Standing Under the Shade of a Roadside Tree, which was released under King Records on September 15, 1988. It was written by Lee Yeong-hun and was included on side B of the album. The record was met with commercial success, selling over 2.58 million copies in South Korea. Choi Seong-chul of the Busan Ilbo wrote that the album "brought about a change in the perception of pop albums, which were relatively undervalued and priced low compared to foreign pop albums" in the country.^[1]

Background

Prior to recording, Yang Hyun-suk, CEO and founder of YG Entertainment, contacted Lee Moon-sae to request permission for BigBang to cover the song, whose original single was released in 1988.
