The Song if you interested in listening to it.
Context: Back in 2024, SKZ Main Vocal Seungmin requested each member of 3Racha (Chan, Changbin and Han) to write a song for him, with the songs Chan and Changbin wrote getting released recently and Han’s being the final installment.
The song that he requested from Han has finally come out today after the long wait and… OH MY GOD DO I FEEL DEVASTATED
As someone who been going through a really a hard time, This song didn’t just hit home but completely Destroyed me from inside out. I’m not someone who exaggerates but I truly feel this way.
A Song about going through life, from a mere fish living in an little aquarium, and then eventually breaking through the glass, the pain that comes with the struggle, a long lone walk in a dim path and eventually reaching the bigger sea to swim toward a better and beautiful place.
It’s Cathartic. It’s comforting.
If Seungmin’s vocals and Han’s Lyrics weren’t enough the Visual and Animation in the video equally amazed me, you can really how much thought was put to every single aspect.
[Side note: Am I seeing things or is that Seungmin in his high school uniform at the start?]
Seungmin said that release had to be pushed back a lot cuz he wanted the song’s colours and vibes to leave a lasting impression and hoped that it was a song that won’t be quickly forgotten and even took a lot of time to polish the recording…. I think he really accomplished his goal.
Seungmin once said that when Han’s writes songs he takes all those feelings tucked away in the corner of his heart and puts them into words everyone can simple words anyone can relate to—and how special of a talent that is.
Listening to this song, I’m reminded of his words once again. You can really tell how each one of 3Racha wrote the songs in a way it fits Seungmin voice.
For those who don’t know; Stray Kids have series on their YouTube channel know as [SKZ-Record] where release original as well as cover songs regularly outside of comebacks (Usually as Solos and sometimes in Units) and this song is one of them.
The Fact they still put this much effort into songs that are not part of a comeback, have no promo, won’t even get a release on streaming services other than YouTube… And most of all—Will probably never reach many people outside their hardcore fan base….
It tells me that they are truly a group which keeps on giving— Artists who truly love making music.
Probably in the distant future I won’t be into Kpop like I once was but this is one of those songs will stick with me for a long time.
Edit: The other two songs if anyone here likes to get their heart to crumble on a random weekend
Goodbye – Written by Chan
Still Here – Written by Changbin
The three songs feels like 3 stages where you grieve your past, struggle to let go of it and the finally move on and reach a better place.
Seungmin said that he hopes that their songs reach a lot of people and bring them comfort and I really hope his wish comes true.
And Lastly, Please get well soon!! So you can sing for a long time together like you wished!!!
(P.S Ignore the typos if any, I really wrote this in the spur of the moment)
