DO or NOT

PENTAGON's song 'DO or NOT' is a powerful anthem of indifference and self-assurance. The lyrics revolve around the theme of not caring about the decisions or opinions of others. The repeated phrase 'So what? I don’t care' encapsulates the essence of the song, emphasizing a carefree attitude towards the uncertainties and indecisiveness of a relationship. The members of PENTAGON convey a message of self-reliance, suggesting that they are unaffected by the actions or words of someone who cannot make up their mind.

The song's lyrics are filled with a sense of frustration and resignation. Lines like '말 좀 해봐 좀 do or not' (Just say something, do or not) and '딱 지금 정해 do or not' (Decide right now, do or not) highlight the impatience and exasperation felt by the speaker. Despite this, the overarching sentiment is one of detachment, as seen in 'I don’t care about you' and '네 맘대로 해 do or not' (Do whatever you want, do or not). This duality of frustration and indifference creates a complex emotional landscape, reflecting the inner turmoil of dealing with an indecisive partner.

Musically, 'DO or NOT' is energetic and upbeat, which contrasts with the underlying message of indifference. This juxtaposition adds a layer of irony to the song, as the lively melody and rhythm seem to mock the seriousness of the situation. PENTAGON's performance is confident and assertive, reinforcing the theme of self-assurance. The references to cultural icons like The Rolling Stones further enhance the song's rebellious and nonchalant vibe, making it a bold statement of independence and self-worth.
