Must Be Nice (좋겠다)

In 'Must Be Nice (좋겠다),' ONE PACT delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the frustration of feeling unappreciated in a relationship. The song's lyrics express a deep sense of longing and confusion, as the protagonist grapples with their partner's indifference and lack of communication. The repeated plea for the partner to express what's wrong highlights the protagonist's desperation to understand and fix the issues in their relationship. Despite their efforts to show love and care, they are met with silence and emotional distance, leading to a sense of helplessness.

The chorus, '넌 정말 좋겠다 (You must be really happy),' is laden with irony. It reflects the protagonist's perception that their partner has the upper hand in the relationship, always getting their way and having the final say. This imbalance of power is further emphasized by the lines, '네가 무슨 말을 해도 그게 정답이니까 (Whatever you say is the right answer).' The protagonist feels trapped in a dynamic where their feelings and opinions are constantly overshadowed by their partner's desires, leading to a sense of resignation and acceptance of their role as the one who always has to adjust.

The song also touches on the theme of self-sacrifice in love. The protagonist acknowledges that they don't need any reason to love their partner and that their love is unconditional. However, this unconditional love comes at a cost, as they feel they have to change themselves to fit their partner's expectations. The repeated line, '네 마음대로 날 바꿀 수 있으니? (Can you change me as you please?)' underscores the internal conflict of wanting to be loved for who they are while feeling pressured to conform to their partner's whims. Ultimately, 'Must Be Nice (좋겠다)' is a poignant exploration of the complexities and emotional struggles of unbalanced relationships, where love is given freely but not always reciprocated in the same measure.
