Meaning of the song:

The song is about a butterfly flying freely in the vast and open mountainous area, with colorful wings resembling floral patterns blooming during a bright sunny day. Through metaphorical symbolism, it teaches children about cherishing moments of bliss, appreciating fleeting happiness in life, and finding beauty in simplicity through simple joys of life. It is seen as a way to express joy and wonder of youth; embracing all nature has to offer with an innocent mindset while being care-free from responsibilities of adulthood.
