SAY THE NAME SEVENTEEN

when fanboy meets fanboy

He gave hints for the new title track by explaining how the meanings of Seventeen’s songs all go together

Adore U: “A boy thinks of someone they adore (a/n he literally said “a person”, meaning he was being gender neutral the entire time). He really cherishes them a lot”

Mansae: “When he sees them he feels like shouting Hooray! (Mansae!)”

Pretty U: ”He wanted to express those feelings to them. So he built up the courage and said “You’re pretty””

Boom Boom: “But still, whenever he saw that person his heart went boom boom”

Smile Flower: “He is happy but what to do when that person and with them his happiness disappears one day? (a/n Hoshi mentions Smile Flower at this point. The song is about not dwelling on worries and just being happy and laughing)

DWC: “But what is this? That person disappeared?! ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ (sad) So he didn’t want to cry and denied reality”

Without You: “So while denying the truth he said to himself: “Whatever! I don’t know! I’m having such a hard time. I will change now!!!”. So he walked around with his hat lowered” (a/n Korean idiom: “Lowering your hat” expresses how you are ashamed and have regrets so you walk around with your hat covering your face. This is supposed to mean that the boy feels that way but as the lyrics for “Without You” convey, he wants to change altogether)

Clap: “And after that!!!! Let’s just clap!!!!! Until your hands catch on fire! Just go all out!!!”

“Now Carats: What would come after that?”
