Some (feat. Junggigo)

In 'Some (feat. Junggigo),' SOYOU of SISTAR explores the complexities and ambiguities of modern relationships. The song delves into the emotional turmoil and confusion that arise when two people are caught in a liminal space between friendship and romance. The lyrics poignantly capture the frustration of not knowing where one stands in a relationship, as expressed through lines like '내꺼인 듯 내꺼 아닌 내꺼 같은 너' (You seem like mine, but not really mine) and '니꺼인 듯 니꺼 아닌 니꺼 같은 나' (I seem like yours, but not really yours). This uncertainty is a common experience in contemporary dating culture, where clear boundaries and labels are often elusive.

The song's narrative is built around the protagonist's internal struggle and desire for clarity. The lyrics describe the protagonist's daily life, filled with small moments of connection and longing, such as waking up to a text message from the other person and wanting to end the day with their voice. Despite these intimate interactions, the lack of a definitive commitment leaves the protagonist feeling unsettled and yearning for a clear declaration of love. This is evident in the repeated plea for the other person to '날 사랑한다 고백해 줘' (confess that you love me).

Culturally, 'Some' reflects the phenomenon of 'some' relationships in South Korea, a term used to describe a relationship that is more than friendship but not quite a committed romance. This in-between state is marked by ambiguity and often leads to emotional confusion, as depicted in the song. The collaboration with Junggigo adds a dual perspective, highlighting that both parties in such a relationship can experience similar feelings of uncertainty and desire for clarity. The song's catchy melody and relatable lyrics have resonated with many listeners, making it a significant piece in the landscape of K-pop and contemporary relationship discourse.
