FUN FACT : all of the song is dedicated to AROHAS because of the hiatus some of the AROHAS left the fandom so the ASTRO MEMBERS itself decided to wrote a song for those AROHAS who left the fandom and that's BY YOUR SIDE and CALL OUT the difference between the two is that the BY YOUR SIDE is song to let go those AROHAS who left the fandom while CALL OUT was a song to call all the AROHAS to comeback and there's a song for those AROHAS who stayed by their side and that's STAY WITH ME also if you read all the title of the songs ALWAYS YOU, BY YOUR SIDE, STAY WITH ME, CALL OUT and REAL LOVE but not only the titles of the song but also the song lyrics you will definitely cry if you read it and all of the songs gives you an emotional effect that's why this album is so special to those 2018 AROHAS who still on the fandom up to this days🥰 also if you have an album there are some photo books with a paper plane designed by MJ itself and it's so cute I hope I have one Lol😂
actually this is gonna be a long comment many people don't know the story behind this album actually this album wholly and fully dedicated to arohas it is a special album released by them when releasing this album , the story starts from 2017 when their popularity was moving on peak after crazy sexy cool that time their company's one of the biggest Chinese shareholders executed full takeover and of the company and the management of the company was changed , in the name of the company there where several law suits filed saying that old ceo did faults and many people of their company left to support the old ceo the shareholders were taking out their investments the company cards were blocked the company had no money at that time astro were told that they would disband due to issues of the company at that time they saw many rohas leaving the fandom bcoz they had no comeback and many arohas still left after knowing these difficulties astro were facing ( i don't know how people can do this leaving people in tough times ) astro saw arohas leave which i think obviously hurted them but the company had no money even for scheduled events managers would use their own money for it , astro worked hard day and night dramas pictorials etc etc they collected some money and i also heard that a Japanese investor helped them in this as he knowned astro's situation , if u will read the of always u and the lyrics of the whole album u will feel the pain after knowing this whole story when i again read the lyrics of the song i cried and also by your side is written by all the members of astro and the love they have arohas is incredible even knowing there are possibilities of disbanding they didn't save the money i will tell u a incident as I told u the company cards were blocked and the company had no money but at that time they participated in isac(idol sports athletics championship) i think they always distribute the snacks just like fanmeetings but this time they used their owned saved money and savings to buy the food for arohas and distributed the snacks themselves to arohas there were a lot of things happening with them but they didn't show arohas and always smiled ahhh i forgot to tell that the issued company had solved i heard that it was revealed that the company Chinese shareholder that made all the fuss and due to him the law suits were filed and he removed from the position of the ceo the original old ceo was back to position and everything got restored slowly then we got astroad 2 starlight and then comeback with the title track all night i am happy that everything it resolved in know this is a long message sorry for the long message
If a song could be a bias - this song was my first bias 😊. They never had a formal cb with this song ( because of issues mentioned in other comments) only this special stage. Another song that gives me the same feel is Again/Should have held on. It only has a dance practice and live performances but so beautiful- a must to watch
The song was a culmination of everything 2018 brought them, company ceo issues, facing disbandment, ‘arohas’ who left them at their most difficult time, and the Arohas who stayed. It was technically not a comeback but a special album… and it really is special
There's a lot to say about Always you and the album it's from, Rise Up. Crazy Sexy Cool came out in November 2017, ASTRO was reaching peak views and fans and it looked like everything was going to start going really well for them. However, in December 2017 the CEO of Fantagio (their company) was dismissed from his position by JC Group, a Chinese shareholder (their largest shareholder) and it was announced that the Chinese co-CEO Wei Jie would become the sole CEO of Fantagio. There were unfair transfers and terminations amongst staff and the staff demanded that the previous CEO be reinstated or they would go on strike. Artists within the company expressed interest in leaving and the company went through background checks that might prove they were an illegitimate company without proper certification for board members. Stocks fell fast and April 2018 cane around fast with no news about ASTRO. No one said anything and fans started to leave as they grew bored with no immediate comeback. Now, I wanna share the lyrics and explain to you how each line relates more to their fans than any lover/significant other/girl, like some people have assumed. Basically the lyrics are about how hurt and sad and scared ASTRO were being away from their fans, not know what was gonna happen (if the company would fall under and they'd have to disband or if there would be any fans left when they returned) It was so hard Before I could stand before you I shed tears out of fear That we won’t see each other anymore Do you remember that last day? Your warm smile Remained in my heart, it left feelings behind And kept circling my mind (Recalling the last stage where they were able to see fans looking at them so happily and how it stuck with them) With the faith of you waiting for me Though it was hard, I swallowed my tears and went to you You told me not to worry no matter what happens (They had faith that fans would stay and help them to push forward and give them hope. Fans always told them not to worry so they trusted them) Are you still there? In these times that were hard to endure Even if I fall countless times I’ll get up again and go to you Though I’m late, I came to you (Calling out and asking if the fans are still around. Apologizing for taking to long but promising that they're finally back after they endured everything) In the end, it’s you I missed you I wasn’t ok (Expressing how they didn't feel ok because they're not being able to update their fans or even meet them or anything really) My heart ached because I couldn’t hold you So I looked for you I waited for you, tears are coming The one I love is you (They waited for so long and were so hurt that they couldn't be their for AROHAs when everyone was scared) I’m alright even if things are hard It was too much to endure alone, I need you, I’m afraid I’m alright though I was alone But if you disappear, I can’t endure alone (Even when things were hard, they had to move forward, even if they feel like they were alone they can endure everything, but if the fans were going to leave them, they wouldn't be able to hold themselves together out of fear) I know you’ve waited for me too My heart ached because we couldn’t touch Words I couldn’t tell you Kept lingering in my mouth (More apologies for not being able to talk to fans as much as they used to. They wanted to meet the fans to tell them everything will be ok) Yes, I didn’t forget, I’m standing here Quietly, holding it in Is this our destiny? Are you still there? (They wouldn't forget about us as it was destiny that we met and it's destiny that we were able to meet again) Now I’m finally telling you That it was you since the beginning Call me once more, hold me once more If it’s not you, you know I can’t be complete (If it's not for AROHAs, they aren't whole. But now they could finally tell us how they felt when they were forced to be away and how they're more sure than ever about what we mean to them) In the end, it’s you I missed you I wasn’t ok (it hurts) My heart ached because I couldn’t hold you So I looked for you I waited for you, tears are coming The one I love is you (Re-affirmation that the fans are the ones who they love and miss) It hurt a lot not knowing what would happen to them and after Rise Up, they showed us how much happier they were and it really hit home. HOWEVER! Rise Up was, again, an unpromoted "Special Album". Only people who were still active in the fandom knew of/cared about the release pretty much. It was sad because it really did prove to then that fans left them and moved on to other groups.
Yes, I love this song! I know I always recommend all the title tracks to my comments but anyway, I'm so glad you found this. This song and another one, "Again" (dance practice only, no MV) are my absolute Astro favorite songs, these songs made me check out all their other songs more. Everything about it is perfection. There's this concert version of Always You that you should def watch also, it's from their 2018 Astroad concert. It's their opening song and they sing it live also. I like how you check out the MV, live stage, and practice all in one reaction. Thanks again!
always you and again/should've held on dance choreographies are my favorites. watching the whole groups/4k versions is a must!! and photosynthesis JINJIN is my favorite look that i watched almost every fancams of him with that hair!!!
I think you will be dead if you will react to CANDY SUGAR POP especially because of JINJIN this comeback and MV will be the best ever I'm literally screaming because of JINJIN also because his one of my bias ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
MJ Verdiğin tepkilerinde kendimi gördüm. Bende MJ bianslıyım ve Always you era benim için en ölümcül lookuydu. Gerçekten MJ bir bakışı hepimizi öldürüyor. 💜🥺🤭
ve bunu türkçe yazman :D( ım translating because his using turkish. Your reaction to mj is just like me. Im mj bias too and always you era in my opinion most killing look for mj. Really just one look of mj can kill everyone ) :D No need to thanks
another curious fact is that they did that choreography since the producers told them if they could do one for the video and if I'm not mistaken they did it in less than a fis as well as in the choreography they mark the logo of astro and aroha
thank you for the reaction! i am thoroughly looking forward for any other astro content you will put out. this may sound like a regular love song but always you is actually a fan song that means a lot to astro and arohas. i'm gonna put down some background down under if you're interested in that. and yea, fun fact (more like theory lol) but the move you pointed out at 12:14 is actually dance line forming the aroha logo with their bodies (it's the same as the astro logo but with a heart instead of the upside-down triangle)! they released this after being on hiatus for a while because their company nearly went under. there were news reports of a new lawsuit for their company coming out every day and multiple articles alleging that fantagio was operating illegally. so the company put every single artist they had on hiatus and fought with a lot of actors who sued them to terminate contracts. it was a scary time because there were a lot of rumours going around of what will happen next with astro. a lot of people lost interest in them throughout the period. meanwhile astro continued communicating with fans that stayed and telling them that they are okay. it was clear when they released always you that astro were far from okay and were just putting up a strong front in order not to scare fans. but those lyrics that you are reading basically express the desperation they felt and it's them talking directly to the fans that held on.
This song is very special. Astro was not allowed to promote this song on Music shows. Fantagio was bankrupted and Astro was on verge of getting disbanded. This song was written for fans. It won't be a lie that Cha Eunwoo kind of saved Fantagio and Astro. He did drama in 2018 as a main lead, My ID Is Gangnam Beauty, which became insanely popular and Cha Eunwoo became star overnight. Eunwoo gained fans & Astro gained more fans and Fantagio became more stable. MIIGB ended in 2018 sep and in Jan-2019, Astro released all night, which became their 1st song to win any music show award. It won't be lie that after every popular Eunwoo's drama, Astro next album became more popular. Even now, Cha Eunwoo contributes half of Fantagio's income alone and Astro is Fantagio most popular group. I love this song. Everybody wrote what happened to Astro and Fanta but nobody told what revived Astro and Fantagio, it was Cha Eunwoo
I agree with some of the posters. The way they opened their Astroad Starlight concert in Seoul with this song will give you goosebumps. In fact, I highly recommend watching the entire concert. Their vocals, dancing, performance, stamina, charisma will just astound you. Some of their choreographies are no joke. I don’t know how they’re able to do it back to back while also singing live. It’s a testament to their discipline and hard work how they only show that they’re out of breath only during the breaks. When they have their performance face on, you can never tell. Amazing! Astro has a lot of super, duper good B sides that don’t have MV’s. You’ll get a taste of them in this concert. Aside from the title tracks from their debut to Rise Up (Always You), these B side performances are must sees: Butterfly, Dream Night, My Style, Again, Because It’s You, Cotton Candy (MJ’s vocals here), Call Out.
before i see the reaction i will tell you something and after see it iwill cm to your reaction💜 ,, this comeback emotional and spical for aroha and astro 💔 becouse this album (rise up) came after many issue in the company and astro think that they never comback and they dont know if they will continue or they will stop (they stop every thing almost ayear💔) many fake fan leave them💔 this song lyrics for aroha🥺💜 all the album to aroha thats why this song and album so emotional and spical for us as aroha if you see the lyrics they tell us that they are still here and they are ok all the album to aroha if you can listen to it only 5 songs this 1,always you 2,by your side 3,call out(this one have spical self made ddoca mv) 4 stay with me 5, real love one of my fav album and iput it it in spical place in my heart ihope astro does not have issue like before never 💔🙏🏼
Amo tus reacciones, por qué eres tan genuina, tan real. Y esa es la reacción que yo tuve la primera vez que vi a ASTRO. Gracias por revivir esas emociones en mi y gracias por amor tanto a Astro.
FUN FACT : all of the song is dedicated to AROHAS because of the hiatus some of the AROHAS left the fandom so the ASTRO MEMBERS itself decided to wrote a song for those AROHAS who left the fandom and that's BY YOUR SIDE and CALL OUT the difference between the two is that the BY YOUR SIDE is song to let go those AROHAS who left the fandom while CALL OUT was a song to call all the AROHAS to comeback and there's a song for those AROHAS who stayed by their side and that's STAY WITH ME also if you read all the title of the songs ALWAYS YOU, BY YOUR SIDE, STAY WITH ME, CALL OUT and REAL LOVE but not only the titles of the song but also the song lyrics you will definitely cry if you read it and all of the songs gives you an emotional effect that's why this album is so special to those 2018 AROHAS who still on the fandom up to this days🥰
also if you have an album there are some photo books with a paper plane designed by MJ itself and it's so cute I hope I have one Lol😂
Always You will always be THAT song to me.
This is my favorite Astro song. So deep... amazing MV, dance, visuals... Just perfect!

Basically the lyrics are about how hurt and sad and scared ASTRO were being away from their fans, not know what was gonna happen (if the company would fall under and they'd have to disband or if there would be any fans left when they returned)
It was so hard
Before I could stand before you
I shed tears out of fear
That we won’t see each other anymore
Do you remember that last day?
Your warm smile
Remained in my heart, it left feelings behind
And kept circling my mind
(Recalling the last stage where they were able to see fans looking at them so happily and how it stuck with them)
With the faith of you waiting for me
Though it was hard, I swallowed my tears and went to you
You told me not to worry no matter what happens
(They had faith that fans would stay and help them to push forward and give them hope. Fans always told them not to worry so they trusted them)
Are you still there?
In these times that were hard to endure
Even if I fall countless times
I’ll get up again and go to you
Though I’m late, I came to you
(Calling out and asking if the fans are still around. Apologizing for taking to long but promising that they're finally back after they endured everything)
In the end, it’s you
I missed you
I wasn’t ok
(Expressing how they didn't feel ok because they're not being able to update their fans or even meet them or anything really)
My heart ached because I couldn’t hold you
So I looked for you
I waited for you, tears are coming
The one I love is you
(They waited for so long and were so hurt that they couldn't be their for AROHAs when everyone was scared)
I’m alright even if things are hard
It was too much to endure alone, I need you, I’m afraid
I’m alright though I was alone
But if you disappear, I can’t endure alone
(Even when things were hard, they had to move forward, even if they feel like they were alone they can endure everything, but if the fans were going to leave them, they wouldn't be able to hold themselves together out of fear)
I know you’ve waited for me too
My heart ached because we couldn’t touch
Words I couldn’t tell you
Kept lingering in my mouth
(More apologies for not being able to talk to fans as much as they used to. They wanted to meet the fans to tell them everything will be ok)
Yes, I didn’t forget, I’m standing here
Quietly, holding it in
Is this our destiny? Are you still there?
(They wouldn't forget about us as it was destiny that we met and it's destiny that we were able to meet again)
Now I’m finally telling you
That it was you since the beginning
Call me once more, hold me once more
If it’s not you, you know I can’t be complete
(If it's not for AROHAs, they aren't whole. But now they could finally tell us how they felt when they were forced to be away and how they're more sure than ever about what we mean to them)
In the end, it’s you
I missed you
I wasn’t ok (it hurts)
My heart ached because I couldn’t hold you
So I looked for you
I waited for you, tears are coming
The one I love is you
(Re-affirmation that the fans are the ones who they love and miss)
It hurt a lot not knowing what would happen to them and after Rise Up, they showed us how much happier they were and it really hit home.

Always You so special in aroha's heart. Try to watch "Always You" at Astroad star light concert. Will make you get more goosebump...
im so sorry but the moaning that you were doing while listening to always you MV kept on distracting me lmao
thank you for the reaction! i am thoroughly looking forward for any other astro content you will put out. this may sound like a regular love song but always you is actually a fan song that means a lot to astro and arohas. i'm gonna put down some background down under if you're interested in that. and yea, fun fact (more like theory lol) but the move you pointed out at 12:14 is actually dance line forming the aroha logo with their bodies (it's the same as the astro logo but with a heart instead of the upside-down triangle)!
