Love Loop

GOT7's 'Love Loop' is a heartfelt ode to the timeless and unbreakable nature of true love. The song's lyrics, sung in Japanese, convey a sense of destiny and inevitability in the meeting of two souls. The opening lines, 'やっと出会えた my only love / ずっと君を探してた' (Finally met my only love / I've been searching for you), set the stage for a narrative of a love that was always meant to be. This theme of predestined love is reinforced throughout the song, with metaphors comparing the lovers to stars orbiting in the same path, destined to meet and create miracles together.

The chorus, 'Free to love (it's destiny) / 愛してる 結んで子をかく赤い糸' (Free to love, it's destiny / I love you, tied by the red thread of fate), introduces the concept of the 'red thread of fate,' a common East Asian belief that lovers are connected by an invisible red string. This thread symbolizes an unbreakable bond that transcends time and space, ensuring that the lovers will always find their way back to each other. The repeated phrase 'love loop' emphasizes the cyclical and eternal nature of their relationship, suggesting that their love will continue to revolve and renew itself endlessly.

The song also explores the emotional depth and resilience of love. Lines like '寂しさも悲しさも越えて / Can't stop our love' (Overcoming loneliness and sadness / Can't stop our love) highlight the strength and perseverance required to maintain a loving relationship. Despite the challenges and distances that may come between them, the lovers' connection remains unbroken, as they continue to 'run, run, run' towards each other. The imagery of holding hands tightly and never letting go further underscores the commitment and unwavering support they offer one another. 'Love Loop' is a beautiful celebration of love's enduring power and the unending cycle of connection between two destined hearts.
