"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]
