Ahead of the release of "I'm Not A Warrior," Sonnet Son has exclusively premiered the track on Billboard on September 13, with the desire to bring her music around the world. "I'm not a warrior" is an emotional ballad that the singer impregnates with full hope and meaning.
During the premiere, Seung Yeon sat down and talked about her new single. She revealed that she got the inspiration for "I'm Not A Warrior" from her aspiration to see the world change through love and not violence. Sonnet Son said, "We sometimes choose to become a 'warrior' to overcome violent situations like poverty, war, terror, and the likes."
She continued, "And as a 'warrior,' we land into ruthlessness on account of hatred, jealousy, etc., but I wanted to call out to all the people around the globe that we are 'Not a Warrior' and prove that our only hope to survive through it all is by love." "This single talks about how needless it is to go against each other when our lives only lasted for a century. Thus, we should not waste time on being a soldier to battle," Son added.
The collaboration between Afanasieff and Seung Yeon took place through a project called "AMP Global Projects," whic started by AMP Vezt Korea to combine talent and producers from across many countries.

Furthermore, Seung Yeon said that she wanted to partake in the said project as a means to help show the diversity of South Korea's musical skills.
