Scared To Be Lonely (Minnie & Yuqi)

In '(G)I-DLE's' 'Scared To Be Lonely,' Minnie and Yuqi explore the complexities of a relationship that has lost its initial spark. The song begins by reminiscing about the early days when the couple couldn't stand to be apart, highlighting the intense connection they once shared. However, as time progresses, the relationship deteriorates into constant arguments and a focus on each other's flaws. This shift raises questions about the true nature of their bond and whether they are staying together for the right reasons.

The chorus delves into the heart of the matter, questioning if the only reason they are still holding on is because they are afraid of being alone. This fear of loneliness becomes a central theme, suggesting that the couple might be using each other as a crutch to avoid facing their own insecurities. The lyrics poignantly ask if they need someone just to feel alright, indicating a deeper emotional dependency that goes beyond physical attraction.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that both individuals are aware of the unhealthy dynamics at play. They acknowledge that there might be someone better suited for each of them, yet they continue to cling to the relationship out of fear. This internal conflict is beautifully captured in the repeated lines, 'Even when we know it's wrong, been somebody better for us all along.' The song ends on a reflective note, leaving listeners to ponder the true reasons behind their own relationships and the role that fear plays in their lives.
