Letters is a song by the Japanese four-member boy group Wolf Howl Harmony, released digitally as a single on February 7, 2025, through Rhythm Zone.[1] The lyrics were written by RYOJI, SUZUKI, GHEE, HIROTO, and FUKI, while the composition was handled by Erik Lidbom, Adam Jonsson, and Masaki Tomiyama.[2] It is the group’s first ballad following their major-label debut and was later included on their first studio album WOLF, released on March 12, 2025.[3]
As the first ballad released after their major-label debut, the song marks the first time the members themselves participated in writing the lyrics.[1] On February 6, 2025, handwritten letters the members wrote to one another were published on the group’s official Instagram account, and the song was released as a surprise at midnight on February 7, approximately three hours later.[4] During the album production process, the group expressed a desire to “include a song that reflects the members’ own feelings,” which became the starting point for creating this track.[5]
Composition and lyrics
“Letters” is a slow-tempo ballad whose lyrics were developed based on the letters the members exchanged with one another.[6] The lyrical themes center on the members’ bonds, mutual trust, and their determination for the future. For the songwriting, each member wrote a letter without establishing a predetermined direction, and the lyricist Fuki compiled their contents into the final lyrics.[7] Ghee commented that “because the lyrics are based on real experiences, the emotions naturally come through, and it became a song we can perform with genuine conviction.”[8] The pop culture outlet EnVi Media described the song as highlighting “the group’s shared journey and the new chapter they are embarking on together.”[9]
Artwork
In reference to the “letters” that inspired the song’s creation, the cover artwork features a hand-drawn illustration by Ghee, designed to resemble a letter.[1]
Promotion
The handwritten letters that served as the basis for the lyrics were revealed on the group’s official Instagram shortly before the surprise digital release.[1]
