Fighting (파이팅 해야지) (feat. Lee Young Ji)

BSS (SEVENTEEN)'s song 'Fighting (파이팅 해야지) (feat. Lee Young Ji)' is an energetic anthem that encourages listeners to persevere through the daily grind. The lyrics, primarily in Korean, convey a message of motivation and resilience in the face of routine and life's challenges. The repeated use of the word '파이팅' (fighting), a term commonly used in Korean to express encouragement and support, serves as a rallying cry to keep pushing forward.

The song opens with a relatable scenario of struggling to wake up in the morning and skipping breakfast to catch a few more minutes of sleep. This mundane start to the day is a metaphor for the larger struggle of life, where people often feel like they're just going through the motions. The reference to everyone being 'earphone-plugged zombies' suggests a disconnection from the world and a need to re-energize. BSS, a sub-unit of the larger group SEVENTEEN, positions themselves as '부석순' (BooSeokSoon), a nickname for the three members of the sub-unit, who are here to uplift and inspire their audience.

The song also touches on the idea of comparing oneself to others and feeling inadequate, a common theme in the age of social media. The featured artist, Lee Young Ji, contributes a rap verse that speaks to the importance of self-worth and not letting life's hardships bring you down. The lyrics encourage taking a break, like pausing to drink water, and compare life's ups and downs to the stock market. The message is clear: despite the unpredictability of life, it's important to keep fighting and not give up, because there are still many 'pages left to play' in the story of life.
