I cried a lot the first time I heard Streetlight and this is his comment on Streetlight: [Changbin’s Comment] “Streetlight” is a boom bap* and hip hop track. I wrote the lyrics about a person pretends to be okay and who laughs and is unable to tell others that they are hurting and sad, by comparing them to a streetlight. Even if others will not be able to solve all the problems, it feels lighter and more bearable after telling others about your concerns. Honestly, before writing this song, I had a time where I was unable to tell someone that I was struggling alone, but after writing the lyrics and going to record [the song], I felt a sense of relief and comfort as if I went and told someone [of my struggles] I really hope and would like that everyone who listened to this song will find someone to always share the burden [pain] and someone who will always listen to them no matter what. [T/N: boom bap is a musical production style and it is also an onomatopoeia that represents the sounds used for the bass (kick) drum and snare drum.] (translation credit: Admin G @straykidsupdate - a Stray Kids fanpage on Tumblr)
I tottaly get you...Streetlight save me so many times... the lasts words: "It hurts to be alone" hit so close... that's why i think this is one of my favorite songs out there. Thanks for the reaction 🤧❣👊STAY safe, STAY healthy, and STAY happy ❣
They are know how to use autotunes as concept of the song's about. Not because originally using autotunes cause Group's concept. They're fitting the song itself.
Stray kids really write amazing and deep words even in " happy" songs. I think one of the most beautiful lyrics of stray kids that personally I feel a lot is from their song Silent Cry. Those lyrics are just beautiful to me.
I recomment you to check Changbin sing the song "tomorrow" the King of mask singer MBCentertainment he did so good. thank you for your reaction and support Stray kids
Street light and silent cry are those songs that comforts me when I was down. These songs save me lots of time. I think the songs speak to me in a very deep and meaningful way.
Fwiw, Chan was involved in all three of these -- his dance cover, producing and singing background on "Streetlight," and producing "Close." The only original SKZ-Record/Player song I can think of that he hasn't been involved in is Hyunjin's "Little Star." Part of the reason for Chan covering the "My House" dance is because SKZ as a group covered the whole thing in a live performance, and a couple of the 2PM sunbaes/friends of Chan's stopped by to work directly with him on the choreo. So doing a mini cover here was kind of a respectful nod to them. If you want a Chan vocal, his "I Hate to Admit" (인정하기 싫어) is divine (you'll need to look up lyrics separately, unfortunately). Unfortunately most of the older SKZ-Records/Players don't have subs, but the latest few did, so I'm hoping that's gonna be a regular thing now. It definitely always pays to check on each video, just in case. I'm glad you checked out the lyrics vids. Something to notice is the lack of gender. They don't assign genders to the people they sing to (or perform for, hence the reason they say "Stays and baby Stays" now, since Chan became conscious of the fact that not all fans are "babygirls" and it hurt some people to be disregarded. Heteronormativity exists, so most straight people simply assume "guy performing for girl" (eg, your comment about _girls_ rather than _people_ swooning over Chan's dance), but SKZ don't specify, which leaves their music accessible/relatable to those of us who aren't straight, aren't girls, or aren't either, and that's one of the many things about their music that many of us love and are grateful for. The "Streetlight" lyrics came directly from Changbin at a time when he was at a really low, dark point. The blue paint moments in the video are references to the Blue Tree Project, which is a mental health awareness organization that was sparked by the untreated illness and subsequent suicide of someone the founders loved. So, yeah, it's a powerful, intense song. (He uses this imagery again in "Ex," btw.) "Close" is the first in Han's trilogy about this story. Next is "Wish You Back," then "HaPpY" (both of which have engsubs). I recommend both. I also recommend Han's "Alien," which, along with "Streetlight," is one of my main comfort songs when my brain is out of control. Having a group whose members aren't afraid to share their mental-health issues in their songs is surprisingly comforting; they've stated more than once that they want their work to remind others that they've gone through the same thing and we're not alone, and they fulfill that goal. You still haven't heard much of their work, and most of what you've heard is the title tracks and main b-sides, which aren't usually very inner-focused. Once you start working through the other stuff, you're going to find a LOT that deals with that "real stuff" you talked about. Mental illness, loneliness, apathy, suicidal ideation, bullying, confusion about yourself, feeling lost, anxiety, being alienated or outsiders, outside voices and judgment, trying to move forward despite pain, etc. All of 3RACHA contribute to those lyrics (especially in the actual 3RACHA tracks outside SKZ), but Changbin and Han in particular dive into a lot of it. SLUMP, Mirror, Phobia, Voices, TMT, M.I.A., Scars, Secret Secret, Silent Cry, Awaken, Chronosaurus, 42... Seriously, the list just goes on and on.
Han’s close, wish you back and Happy are a trilogy that he wrote inspired from a movie! I am also curious if you are going to finish all the mv’s I can make a playlist of the ones you missed if you want :) anyways I love your reactions and your appreciation for the boys!
Agree, HAN can be a good solo artist. Plus he produces songs and can make an album for himself. I loved the way you said about HAN, it's my first time hearing from a reactor that he is like an army knife(?). New subscriber here. I hope you'll react to all of his skz records, I think he had 4. Wish you back is like the sequence for Close and HaPpY is a sequence for Wish you back. I got it is a diss track and Alien is a song about loneliness.
Streetlight hits hard everytime. The lyrics are so relatable it brings me to tears every time & every time i hear it and hear the hurt in his voice i wish all of Stay could hug him bc he had to be in a hell of hurt for those words to make sense to us all . 🥺❤️🔥
I really enjoy your reactions. Pleasee do more Stray Kids they never disappoint; 1. All In 2. Red Lights (Bang Chan & Hyunjin) 3. Secret Secret 4. Easy 5. Runner’s High (3RACHA) 6. PACE (3RACHA)
Han "close" is a song about his social anxiety. It was hard for him to approach or talk to someone who he doesn't close to but at the same time they want to know them more. The lyrics kinda looked like a love confession from afar, because he said he was inspired of the movie and there was a quote that said "you had me at hello" which was seen at the end of the mv too!
what's funny about han writing close was that he said he cant sing it live cause it's so high but then he proceeds to write alien (another one of his skz player) which is higher. x.x and changbin's Streetlight does hit different. idk if its a good thing to find it comforting knowing that i'm not the only one who feels the same way as the person in the song is singing about. and also the tree with blue paint in the m/v is connected with the blue tree project that aims to start convesations of mental health.
Thanks for reacting to stray kids. I hope you can react to their live performance. I would like to recommend their performance at heartbeat. Thank you.
Thank you so much for reacting to this! I think a lot of STAYs relate to streetlight a lot, it really hits hard but is so healing at the same time. The blue paint in the music video refers to the ‘blue tree project’ which spreads the message that ‘it.s ok not to be ok’ and encourages to speak up about mental health issues. It also reappears in the music video for ‘ex’. This song really has a special place in my heart alongside ‘alien’ by han and even some skz tracks where they talk about similar topics - I admire them for that a lot. Stay safe and know that STAYs are one big family and we will be there for you if you need anything!
Skz lyricism is so relatable and human 🥲 You should react to wish you back and happy from Han, and the featurings of Changbin with the other members 🫂 all of the skz-records and players are *chef kiss* ART
Waiting to see your reaction to HAN's Alien This song means a lot to me. I feel my pain at the same time it heals me. The first time I heard it, I almost cried even though I didn't know the meaning of the lyrics. a lot of RUclipsrs' reactions are similar to mine, yes... I have a lot of alien friends haha
Omg i just binged watch your skz reactions and I feel so happy that you also love NF. He is like one of my fave rappers. I really love his lyricism. So seeing you appreciating both artists that I love so much made my day. Thank you for this!
I get you!! When I read the lyrics I cried so much!! And also I wanna to run and hug Changbin :p You should listen to Alien (from Han) and "I don´t want to acknowledge" (from Bang Chan). They are something else!!
Seriously, Streetlight is one of my favorite songs. Every time I listen to it and see the lyrics, it is impossible not to feel sad.
I cried a lot the first time I heard Streetlight and this is his comment on Streetlight:

Idk why but whenever skz uses autotune, its so good. They are the only group that i find so smart in using autotunes.
They are know how to use autotunes as concept of the song's about. Not because originally using autotunes cause Group's concept. They're fitting the song itself.
The sad part is these skz player are not spotify 😭😭😭
Wow that's sad. 😭
