    This song makes me feel nostalgic for the teenage years I didn't have. It's like, what I dreamed my high school years would be but they weren't, and this song is the reminder of that hope and dream I had...

    As a working med student, what PD said really resonated with me. Taking 14 subjects this semester has really taken a toll on my mental health and my brain is basically rotting from the stress, lack of sleep, and pressure. I've realized how I failed to appreciate my high school days of little to no worries and responsibilities. Weeekly has really encapsulated that feeling of happiness and listening to this song is like digging up a lost treasure trove of memories. They've become a group that holds a really special in my heart.

    Why Weeekly is such a great rookie group:
    *They give us a break from the girl crush concepts
    *They are good at having a cute sound but not too cute
    *Their title tracks are catchy and not in a generic way
    *Their choreographies creatively make use of props
    *Their vocalists are so good and can rap as well
    Fun fact: Their MVs are uploaded on different days of the week.

    The fact that this song ends, NOT on a "cliffhanger" chord, but intead added a breakdown, then ends on a tonic chord that goes feels like it hits home --- is not something most kpop songs do anymore. I really appreeciate that.

    The reason why people find it so emotional is because in the chorus, the vocals progress in a way that evokes a heart touching emotion. Notice how in the chorus the first half of Monday's line goes down a note a lower than the second half. From my short time in attempting to play the piano, pianist use this trick to pull at people's heart strings. Not to mention it's followed up with "I'm so good with you", which those lyrics seem very loving. The song writing in this song, particularly the chorus, is phenomenal

    This song is like graduation goggles for those who doesn't have a good school experience. When you hated school all your life but when it's your last day of school, everything that you hate just seem beautiful. The feeling of not having to go through your usual routine anymore just makes you feel an emotional roller coaster. This song makes you feel nostalgic because the lingering feeling of longing to be free, to rewind the past, to just enjoy everything without a single burden. This song makes you feel hopeful, dreamy, euphoric, and a beautiful mess.
    The first listen made me cry as well. What PD said really hits me. Coming from almost a similar background, this song just makes you want to hop on a time travel portal, put on your school uniform and go back to your high school days to just enjoy freedom and the accompany of the people around you.

      I've graduated HS a few months ago and I definitely felt something, especially looking at the pic with majority of the class, smiling and together in the photo. I know I have a whole life ahead of me and it won't be all stress but damn...
      So your graduation goggles analogy really opened my eyes. Knowing what I know now, I could've been a LOT more carefree and just... Tried harder to talk to other people and make friends, especially looking at it without having to go to another painstaking day at school.
      It definitely feels weirds and especially bittersweet in that regard.

Back then, I only felt the song was catchy and I was filled with joy listening to it, so seein such a visceral reaction for others was different from my exper with the song.
      However... It's only been 3 years and only a few months of HS graduation and I can now understand what peop were feeling. It's bittersweet. Happy yet heart aching, espe since it either reminds you of fun moments but at the same time... The things we could've done differently. I already feel a bit nostalgic for the song because... Yeah, it reminds you of HS

    My favorite types of songs are what i like to call “positive nostalgic” (happy songs that sound like childhood) and it’s even better if it sounds “desperate” like you described, even though it’s happy. a good song that fits that description is ‘Love Bomb’, and so does this one. When you talked about your teenage years it sort of made me realize that THAT’s why those are my favorite songs. Songs that sound like that sound like my childhood. My childhood feels so far away even though I’m still a teen, because I’ve been through a lot mentally in the past couple years. Songs like these just make me feel so good inside. Thank you for making me realize that PD!

    The reason Soeun's line was very memorable was because it got the perfect setup. The chord progression of the chorus looks like
    4 5 1 3 6 5 4 5 3 5 1
    The melody doesn't exactly follow that, instead it walks downwards with Monday with a counterpoint from Jihan + Jaehee.
    Then Soeun's melody starts when it goes back to the 4 chord and follows the 3rd of the 4-5-1 of the repeated chord patterns.

    I was impressed with Weeekly ever since debut. They feel like so perfectly balanced as a group, and they remind me of Red Velvet in that their songs really focus on vocals and harmony vs. chasing the sound of the moment. They just make feel good music and "After School" may just be the best version of their sound so far.

    PD you're so right about that "i'm so good with you" part I think it strikes even more because that's the first time in the chorus we're getting a drawn out portion of the song rather than the beginning of the chorus where the pacing is like fast. The beginning chorus is all "we'll ride our skateboards and dance and have fun " but the i'm so good with you breaks down more of the emotion afterwards like really realizing that they're enjoying the time with friends and how they're made for one another also the harmonies in that part are subtle but MAKES that part!!!

These girls are so cute and talented; there's literally no fault I can find with them. I also love that they are doing cute and happy music that is appropriate for a group that is made up of teenagers.
    There are so many great parts to this song and this video. I love how they give a shout out to their previous songs. I love the brief shot of Jiyoon pouting because her sparklers went out. Like you, I love the line "I'm so good with you", and they way it is featured by being a legato half-time line in the middle of an up-tempo bop. I love that the high school theme resonates for all ages. I love how the beat restarts at the beginning of the 3rd chorus. And I love that I still can't figure out if they're singing about a friend or a love interest.

    The analysis of the feeling the song passes is just SO accurate, i was never the most popular or outgoing person in school, i am shy, i had my hardships with bullying, but most of my life i was fading into the background, i was quiet in my own corner with my very few friends, in about 9th grade (i don't know how it works in the US but i hope yall can understand me) all my friends moved on to better places for highschool, and i was one of the few left behind, and i realized... damn i miss them... they were the ones who made my school life not so meserable, the ones who made me laugh, i miss doing art with them, going out to the movies with them, i just miss them so SO much, oh boy i'm getting emotional. The last time we were together in school we didn't have the "future" talk, i feel like we didn't enjoy one anothers presence, we barely talk right now and oh so desperate to go out with them to get back in touch, but i just can't because of the pandemic. So i promissed myself that i was going to ENJOY high school, go out partying, making friends, living a romance, be able to be myself since i can't do it at home with my family, but then... it's been a year since i went to school because of online classes, and i lost the second year of high school, and things don't look so great for this year too, i'm losing my last year in school, i'm feeling so dumb for not learning anything in the last year, everyone has perspective for the future and i'm just stuck in the past with my anxious mind and i have barely any will to live. Man i just don't want it to be over you know? I'll miss my friends, i'll miss schol, i'll miss MYSELF, i'll jus miss it all so much. I don't want to be an adult... i don't think i can even survive adulthood with my mental health.
    Oh sorry this got so long and depressing. I doubt anyone's even gonna read it all. And also sorry for any flaws in my english.
    Anyways i just appreciate so much the bubbly and happy childhood feeling this song gives, it makes so hyped and nostalgic for something i've never even experienced, but it also makes me a little emotional and depressed, i don't know this was a ride, sorry for the long rant, i just needed to vent.

      i know how you feel. but adulthood isn't all bad. you will have opportunities to make new friends, and you will have moments of joy that are worth feeling nostalgic about. you'll have to work hard to clear your schedule and get people together for those moments, but it's possible. i think the things about high school that make it easier to have those moments (aside from a teenaged brain) are the fact that you're crowded together with a bunch of people who have basically the same schedule as you. making friends can be hard anywhere, but just getting to know people and figuring out when and where to spend time together is easiest in high school. that doesn't make it impossible to make moments as an adult though. you have to live your life with the intention of making friends and you have to do the legwork of figuring out how everybody's schedules can work so that you can be together, but you can do it.
      it sounds easier said than done i guess, but i just want you to know that there's hope. it's no guarantee, but there is a beautiful world out there, it is still alive against all odds, and you are not alone in it. you will have a chance to feel happiness. i have REALLY bad depression (and a bunch of other mental issues), but even i've had my chance to enjoy life as an adult. be brave and keep an open heart

    It takes a lot to be vulnerable online, its refreshing to see a man share his feelings... Ihope you catch a break soon PD, and can enjoy life more!!

    The chorus is absolutely phenomenal so cute and refreshing and the “I’m so good with you” part is definitely the killing part of the song and I’m so happy we got a school concept without uniforms the styling is superb. Jiyoon is my bias Jahee is my bias wrecker

    that chorus made me feel like I'm embracing my childhood and see every bad thing in a different light, it's nostalgic and healing me.☺

    To me this song is SO perfect. I also had a really emotional reaction to it. As someone that really didn't get to enjoy being a pre-teen or teenager this just makes me ache for this type of experience I never got to really have. I love this song so much and it made me feel really happy immediately as soon as the first chorus hit! This song is incredibly wholesome and refreshing

    That "I'm so good with you" portion also did it for me in the chorus. Soeun is such a strong and I'd say central performer in the group.

    I think Soeun got the second more lines in the song. Well, not gonna lie her "Im so good with you", is the catchiest part of the song so I think thats fair

    I'm sorry you had such a bad time in your childhood. I know this is a tiny thing, but I hope you know how much joy you bring me and many others through your videos, with every comeback my faves have, one of the main things I look forward to is watching your reaction to it. I'm autistic and it's really difficult for me to verbalise how I feel about things, but a lot of the time, we have the same opinion on songs, and you perfectly word how I feel about them. I'm really grateful for that, so thank you!

      i just wanted to agree with this comment in case it makes it more likely for PD to see. PD is so good at expressing the way that songs elicit emotion, and that makes these videos relatable and validating and cathartic. i'm so grateful for their honesty.
