ABCDLOVE

In 'ABCDLOVE,' BOYNEXTDOOR delves into the emotional turmoil of a love lost and the struggle to redefine oneself in its aftermath. The song cleverly uses the alphabet as a metaphor for the simplicity and foundational nature of love, which has now become complicated and foreign. The repeated phrase 'A-B-C-D-L-O-VE' signifies the basic understanding of love that the protagonist once had, which has now been shattered, leaving them to relearn and reconstruct their feelings from scratch.

The lyrics poignantly describe the protagonist's confusion and heartache. The once easy and familiar 'L-O-VE' has transformed into something unrecognizable, symbolizing how the end of a relationship can alter one's perception of love itself. The lines '쉽게 쉽게 외우던 쉬운 영어 단어도 이젠 모르겠어' (Even the easy English words I used to memorize easily, I don't know them anymore) highlight this disorientation. The protagonist feels as though they need to relearn the basics of love, much like a child learning the alphabet for the first time.

The song also touches on the emotional impact of the breakup, comparing the lost love to the disappearance of the moon and stars, leaving only dark clouds behind. This imagery underscores the sense of loss and longing for the light and warmth that the relationship once brought. The plea to '되돌려줘 내 A-B-C-D-L-O-VE' (Give me back my A-B-C-D-L-O-VE) or to '그려주세요 새로운 사랑을' (Draw me a new love) encapsulates the desire to either reclaim the simplicity of past love or find a new, untainted version of it. The song's blend of catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics makes it a relatable anthem for anyone navigating the complexities of love and heartbreak.
