A Flower Bookmark 2 (Hangul: 꽃갈피2; RR: Kkotgalpi 2) is the second cover extended play by South Korean singer, songwriter, and actress IU. It is also her eighth Korean-language mini-album. The EP was released on Sep 22, 2017 by LOEN Entertainment under its imprint Fave Entertainment. Like her previous cover album, A Flower Bookmark features cover versions of nostalgic K-pop songs popularized from 1960s to 2000s.
A Flower Bookmark 2 consists of cover versions of nostalgic K-pop songs popularized from 1960s to 2000s, including "Autumn Morning" (Yang Hee-eun and Lee Byung-woo, 1991), "Last Night Story" (Sobangcha, 1988), “Sleepless Rainy Night" (Park Kwang-hyun, 1990), "Secret Garden" (Lee Sang-eun, 2003), “By The Stream” (Jeong Mi-jo, 1972) and “Everyday With You" (Deulgukhwa, 1980s). It was reported that IU personally approached the artists directly to ask for permission to remake their songs.
On September 18, 2017, "Autumn Morning" was released to coincide with the singer's ninth year anniversary. The rest of the tracks were digitally released four days later, along with a music video of "Last Night Story" and a special performance clip of “Sleepless Rainy Night". The physical release of the album was scheduled to be September 25, but was postponed because the remake album was originally going to include a track by the late singer Kim Kwang-seok. However, due to the recent revelations surrounding his daughter’s death, Loen has decided to remove this track from IU’s album.
