Back 2U

2PM's 'Back 2U' delves into the emotional turmoil of a relationship that one can't seem to escape, no matter how hard they try. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is caught in a cycle of returning to a past lover despite the pain and regret that comes with it. The repetition of 'back, back, back to you' underscores the inevitability and the magnetic pull that the past relationship holds over the individual. This cyclical nature of returning to a former lover is a common theme in many love songs, but 2PM brings a unique intensity to it through their emotive delivery and poignant lyrics.

The song's verses reveal a struggle with dishonesty and loneliness. The protagonist admits to lying and being with other women, yet finds themselves crying and thinking about their past lover. This duality of actions versus emotions highlights the internal conflict and the difficulty of moving on. The lyrics 'Jichil daelo jichigo jillil daelo jillyuh beolin nuh' (Tired of being tired, sick of being sick) express a deep sense of exhaustion and frustration, yet the protagonist still finds themselves drawn back to their former lover. This suggests a complex emotional dependency that is hard to break.

Culturally, 2PM is known for their powerful performances and emotionally charged songs, and 'Back 2U' is no exception. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of a breakup and the confusing emotions that follow. The call-and-response section towards the end, where they invite both ladies and fellas to sing along, creates a sense of shared experience and communal understanding. It’s a reminder that these feelings of longing and regret are universal, and that music can be a powerful outlet for expressing and processing these emotions.
