Still on…
Still smiling…
City don’t sleep tonight
AFTER—
9
Running through the city lights
Nobody sees my tired eyes
But I still shine tonight
AFTER 9
This mask is falling piece by piece
この仮面を外せば
やっと自分に帰れる
Elevator mirror
Lipstick fading slowly
“I’m alright” をまた着こなして
Scrolling through the lonely
Heels echo on the floor
Midnight air, neon glow
誰にも見せない pressure
Deep inside I let it flow
Coffee cup and cold hands
Train lights blur the window
強くなったフリして
Walking through the shadows
Take a breath…
Slow down…
Nobody shines without the night
AFTER 9
Running through the city lights
Broken hearts still stay alive
Under neon skies tonight
AFTER 9
This mask is falling piece by piece
この仮面を外せば
やっと自分に帰れる
AFTER 9
No more hiding from myself
笑顔の奥にあった声を
I finally hear tonight
Late train, headphones, cold air
Nobody knows what I hold here
Smile on, game face all day
Cracked heart under city rain
Big dreams, long nights, no sleep
High heels like a heartbeat
Still standing in the silence
Even when I feel the violence
Breathe slow
Let go
City lights move in slow-mo
If I break, let it be tonight
I’ll come back in morning light
Still alive
Still alive
Breathe in…
Breathe out…
Under neon lights
Notifications never stop
Energy drink, empty cup
“大丈夫”が癖になって
I don’t even feel enough
But silence knows my name
Quiet room, falling rain
少しだけ崩れた夜も
Tomorrow starts again
No tears
No lies
Just one more night to survive
AFTER 9
Screaming through the city lights
Even scars can glow sometimes
When the dark feels just right
AFTER 9
This heart is beating wild and free
この仮面を外した夜に
本当の私が standing here
AFTER 9
Keep moving through the lonely nights
You don’t have to hide your pain
You’re already shining bright
AFTER 9…
AFTER 9…
Finally home tonight…

AFTER 9
NL STUDIO
After the lights fade, the real emotions begin.
"AFTER 9" is a dark cinematic urban pop track about the hidden feelings behind a strong smile.
Heavy emotional bass, neon city atmosphere, intimate vocals, and explosive chorus drops create a soundtrack for lonely midnight streets.
Cool on the outside. Deeply human inside.
"This mask falls off piece by piece..."
From late-night train rides to silent rooms after work,
AFTER 9 captures the moment when you finally become yourself again.
A stylish yet emotional anthem for everyone surviving the city at night.
