Like Magic (feat. J.Y. Park, ITZY & NMIXX)

“Like Magic” by Stray Kids, featuring J.Y. Park, ITZY, and NMIXX, is a vibrant celebration of friendship, trust, and the magical moments that come from shared dreams. The song opens with a heartfelt declaration of the desire to bring joy to a loved one, emphasizing the importance of mutual support and belief. The lyrics, “Is there anything that I couldn't give you? / 널 웃게 만들어주고 싶어,” set the tone for a narrative centered around unwavering loyalty and the joy of making each other happy.

The chorus, with its repeated invitation to “Jump, jump in / 느껴봐 지금 이 magic,” captures the essence of seizing the moment and embracing the magic of the present. This metaphor of jumping in symbolizes taking a leap of faith together, trusting in the bond they share. The song reassures that no external forces can shake their connection, as highlighted in the lines, “Trying to shake us but it's no use / Nothing they could do.” This resilience is a testament to the strength of their relationship.

The imagery of the moon and the sun in the lyrics, “You know the moon never shines without the Sun / That's me and you, you know you're the only one,” beautifully illustrates the interdependence and complementary nature of their relationship. The song culminates in a powerful message of living in the moment and cherishing the memories they create together, making it a timeless classic. The repeated encouragement to hold hands and feel the magic underscores the theme of unity and shared experiences, making “Like Magic” a touching ode to the power of friendship and collective dreams.
