Introduction
Insomnia is a song that starts almost like a confession: the night will not let go, the mind will not switch off, and the only name on the singer's lips is the one he cannot stop thinking about. RIIZE released it as a new single on 26 October 2026, and it is one of those rare K-pop tracks that stays quiet instead of shouting, letting the sleepless feeling carry the whole song. In this post, Muxic Leaks brings you the complete Korean lyrics, the Romanized version, a Hindi translation and a real English translation, along with the official music video, song details and the meaning behind the words.
The Song
"Insomnia" arrived on 26 October 2026 as RIIZE's new single, with its official music video premiering the same day on the SMTOWN YouTube channel. The track is built around a soft, late-night mood: gentle verses that drift between Korean and English, a pre-chorus that asks to be found in a dream, and a chorus that repeats its title like a fact of life — up all night, again and again. The second verse turns more restless, counting the hours at 2 AM and 3 AM, standing under the shower, and admitting the truth plainly: he is wide awake, and it is all because of one person. There is no big drop and no shouting; the song stays close and honest, which is why it lingers. You can read the full lyrics below, in Korean, Romanized Korean, Hindi and English, right here on Muxic Leaks.
The Artists
RIIZE is a six-member boy group under SM Entertainment, made up of Shotaro, Eunseok, Sungchan, Wonbin, Sohee and Anton. The group debuted in September 2023 and quickly became known for what SM calls emotional pop: bright, melodic songs that carry a real feeling under the polish. "Insomnia" fits that description closely, trading the group's usual energy for a slower, more thoughtful sound. Each member gets room in the song, from the hushed opening lines to the layered chorus that sounds like a whole room of tired voices singing the same sleepless thought. With this single, RIIZE show the quieter side of their sound, and it suits them.
Music Video
The official music video for "Insomnia" premiered on the SMTOWN YouTube channel on 26 October 2026, the same day as the single. The video keeps the same late-night feeling as the song, with dim rooms, city lights and scenes of the members awake long after the world has gone quiet. It runs for three minutes and forty-seven seconds and closes on a calm, spoken image of a whale breathing slowly underwater, a small moment of peace at the end of a restless night. You can watch the full video near the end of this post, just above the related posts.

Lyrics Meaning
At its heart, "Insomnia" is a song about missing someone so much that sleep becomes impossible. The opening lines set the scene: the night holds the singer, his head fills with thoughts he cannot switch off, and every thought leads back to the same person. The details are small and honest — a bed that feels strange, light creeping through a door, the hours counted at 2 AM and 3 AM — and that is what makes the song feel real. He is not describing drama; he is describing an ordinary night after something has gone wrong, when the mind keeps replaying yesterday and the day before, asking why he acted the way he did and whether that was really his best.
The chorus does not ask for sleep. Instead, it makes a wish: come find me in my dreams, wake me up, and let the night end with the morning and a fresh start with you. That is the song's softest idea, that the person who keeps him awake might also be the one who brings him rest. The closing whale image, slow deep breaths under the water, quiet and peaceful, offers the same comfort in a different form: a creature that breathes calmly while the world above cannot sleep. It is a gentle ending to a song about restless love, and it is why Muxic Leaks picked it up for a full lyrics feature.
