The album will feature the title track “28,” a heartfelt rock ballad that encapsulates ASCA’s personal reflections on her current age. The song’s lyrics, written by ASCA herself, express themes of self-acceptance and emotional growth.
“With the help of many people, I was able to finish this tour with their thoughts and love. I am happy to meet you as I am. I love myself no matter who I am. I will not give up on myself, I will not let go. I am 28 years old, I met a lot of people and came to think so. Thank you again for the 28 tour.”
