"Memoria" is a song recorded by South Korean girl group GFriend. It was released by King Records on October 10, 2018, as the group's second Japanese single.
The song was described by Billboard's Tamar Herman, as an "effervescent dance track", that "returns [GFriend] to the sweet synth-pop style they favored on early releases". Adding that "the track leads with plinking synths and gentle instrumentals before building into a majestic, tempo-shifting choral climax introduced by bright strings and graceful harmonies as the six women let their vocals soar". [1]
The single was released in three editions: Regular, Limited Type A and Limited Type B. [2] It was also released as a digital EP. [3]
The single debuted at number 5 on the Oricon Singles Chart in its first day and peaked at number 2 in its third day with 1,704 copies sold. [4] [5]

A music video for "Memoria" was released on September 19, 2018.

For the choreography scenes, the members don a variety of tartan-patterned dresses as they perform the sweeping, ballet-inspired routine. [1]
