She posted the following comment on her official website:

How I look to others, what is expected of me. Even so, I do not want to let go of the purity that gets worn away in the midst of it all. "Still Water" is a song that feels like looking back at yourself amidst the fluctuations. As you get worn down by being polished or strive to meet others' expectations, you may sometimes lose sight of who you really are. Even so, I believe that what remains in the very last drop, filtered through despair and hesitation, is surely one's own "purity." To determine my own worth for myself, rather than relying on how others see me. I hope you can feel that quiet determination.
