It’s Love

D.O., a member of the popular South Korean-Chinese boy band EXO, brings a heartfelt and introspective look at love in his song 'It’s Love.' The lyrics delve into the complexities and enduring nature of love, portraying it as both a fleeting and eternal experience. The song opens with a sense of longing and nostalgia, reflecting on a time when love felt miraculous and every moment was filled with wonder. This period, however, is described as a season that has passed, leaving behind a sense of calm acceptance and a bittersweet smile.

The chorus emphasizes that the feeling of excitement and anticipation in the heart is universal. Despite the weariness of daily life and the long-standing sorrows, these emotions are transient. The lyrics suggest that what we ultimately seek, even after facing numerous challenges, is love once again. This cyclical nature of love is highlighted by the repeated phrase '또다시 사랑이야' (again, it's love), underscoring the idea that love is a recurring theme in our lives, something we continually return to.

In the latter part of the song, D.O. touches on the idea of love as a source of both joy and pain. He acknowledges that even when we convince ourselves that we can no longer love, our hearts still yearn for it. The song concludes with a hopeful note, describing love as an ever-present force that never truly sleeps. It speaks to the anticipation of new love and the desire to grow old with someone special, encapsulating the essence of love as a journey that is both personal and shared. The final lines celebrate the profound connection with a significant other, portraying them as a vast world and a love that one wishes to experience until the very end.
