Lucky One (English Version)

EXO's 'Lucky One (English Version)' is a vibrant and heartfelt exploration of love and destiny. The song's lyrics paint a picture of a journey, both literal and metaphorical, as the protagonist navigates through life's challenges to find their true love.

The recurring theme of overcoming obstacles is evident in lines like 'The big waves are crashing, but I'll make it through till the end.'

The reference to a 'four-leaf clover' symbolizes luck and rarity, emphasizing the uniqueness and preciousness of their bond. The song concludes with a triumphant declaration of being 'the lucky one,' celebrating the fulfillment of their love journey and the joy of finding their destined partner.
