This comeback is CELEB FIVE's first after nine months since their last single "Shutter" in October 2018. === The group shared a sweet yet ridiculous MV for their new track. The video shows a charming garden concept with the four members of the group all dressed in white with flower crowns on their heads. "I Wish I Could Unsee That" is a ballad song that talks about an instance when you are looking into your partner's phone and finding by chance photos of another woman. At the end of the song, Seolhyun said, "I can't see my tears, because it's all over my head. I can't say happy, I should be happier, and pay back my money."The music video has already surpassed 20,000 views.
