I Wanna Do

STAYC's 'I Wanna Do' is a heartfelt anthem that speaks to the themes of support, resilience, and unwavering companionship. The song opens with a sense of novelty and excitement, emphasizing the uniqueness of the moment and the importance of embracing new experiences. The lyrics, '뻔하지만 달라 첨이니까' (It's obvious but different because it's the first time), set the tone for a journey of self-discovery and mutual support. The repeated encouragement to 'ride on' and 'drive on' suggests a forward momentum, urging listeners to keep moving despite the challenges they face.

The chorus, with its soothing promise, 'Just call me, my babe... I’ll always be with you,' reinforces the idea of being there for someone no matter what. This sentiment is further echoed in the lines, '다 어렵게 느껴질 땐 언제든 손잡아 줄 텐데 꼭 안아줄게' (When everything feels difficult, I'll hold your hand and hug you tight). The song beautifully captures the essence of being a reliable presence in someone's life, offering comfort and reassurance during tough times. The metaphor of a phone 'sleeping' in the corner, yet ready to connect, symbolizes the ever-present availability and readiness to support a loved one.

The bridge of the song introduces a reflective tone, acknowledging the struggles and the pain that come with growth. The lyrics, '아파야 철든다고 대체 누가 그런 건데' (Who said you have to hurt to grow up?), challenge the notion that suffering is a necessary part of maturity. Instead, STAYC advocates for finding joy and having 'a good day' despite the obstacles. The song's overall message is one of optimism and steadfast support, encouraging listeners to lean on each other and face life's challenges together. 'I Wanna Do' is not just a song; it's a comforting reminder that we are never alone in our struggles.
