XOXO is a fairytale themed album. Title for don't go in korean is butterfly girl. Basically they encountered tinkerbell and fell in love. Baby don't cry was based on little mermaid but the prince sacrifice himself and become foam so little mermaid can live on land. Wolf is just about werewolves who fell in love. Also, peterpan is important to exol because exo are our peterpan and we are tinkerbell. If you notice, when chen got married, many exol congratulated him for finding his wendy. I think that's so pretty. That's how fans should be. We can be delulu and have all the magical stuff in our neverland, let them have their own wendy irl.

[@massuh1554]

Dont forget Black pearl, it is clearly based on Pirates of the Caribbean.

[@oohfanniemae]

With over a million copies sold, XOXO also became the first million seller in 12 years drought.

[@misscates1019]

The video of Kai dancing to “Baby Don’t Cry” comes from Exo’s debut teasers. They did 23 of them. Still uploaded to SMTOWN youtube page.

[@toriecarter2711]

Small clarification about Baby Don't Cry, cause I love sharing this with new fans: The Korean title translates to A Mermaid's Tears~ It's based on the original version by Hans Christian Andersen, which is a *lot* darker. Among the much darker parts is the mermaids don't have souls, they turn into sea foam when they die (tho, they live longer than humans). If she wins the love of the prince & marries him, part of his soul will move into her. But if he marries someone else, the day after she'll die and turn into sea foam. He does marry someone else. But the mermaid gets a chance in the form of dagger for her to kill the prince while he's sleeping and use his blood to return to being a mermaid. (She doesn't do this in the original, but it still has a kinda happy ending anyways.) Baby Don't Cry is an alternative take if the prince had woke up and encouraged her to do the deed~~~ This is why the most iconic stages for Baby Don't Cry are the way they are, especially the end~~~^.^ Kai and Sehun separated by a large space, dancing at each other, reaching out for each other, collapsing into the water, etc

[@dearstarX]

😮 thank you for the information👌👏. They should have kept that title.

[@nixblit]

OMG???

[@rexy773]

​​@@dearstarXjust want to correct you but it is the title of this songs just in KR. So the word "kept" not really right

[@Mel-yd8tp]

an amazing album !!! for a rookie group that's insane

[@irisnatasha06]

Solid debut studio album

[@abidiabir9664]

This brought so many memories can’t believe it’s been 10 years with EXO i can still remember the feelings i had when i first heard these songs this is so nostalgic 🥹 thank you so much for this experience ❤

[@Baek0506L]

허걱 명반이죠 엑소엘은 들으면 눈물나는 노래들..

[@iLoveKaiEXO]

This album sums up my teenage life :’) can’t believe it’s been 10 years

[@JDoubleMs]

I agree, Don’t Go would still be one of their best songs to date. But it is equally good with Peter Pan, as well. This album will be the closest to my heart 😊

[@errofab]

Thank you for reacting to this. This is still the best EXO album for me😭❤

[@ZS-dr7bi]

The fact that you work hard and give us you-tube peasants highlight versions of your experience, just wanna say Thank You! Looking forward to more!

[@chhanchhani5540]

XOXO album bought me back to those time when I was a teen girl who was so obsessed with EXO, it makes me so nostalgic. Anyway I really enjoy your reaction 😊

[@toriecarter2711]

Honestly, for a *lot* of EXO-Ls Don't Go is *THE* EXO/EXO-L song, and EXO seems to return the sentiment^.^ (Don't Go, Moonlight, and Angel are the undefeated queens, the holy trinity~~~) The EXO'luXion Don't Go stage is one of my favorite videos to watch when I need some healing^.^ Xiumin particularly really seems to love Don't Go; he'll call fans things like "Butterfly Girls"~~~ Xiumin even did an alternative version of the song called "I Go" before his enlistment, and all the little details he put into will break your heart!!!

[@nalalala7584]

i will never get over exo’s older albums! They hold the sentiment of gold😩 The nostalgiaaa I love their new ones so much too! But damn😫Bae and D.O’s vocals in these were just outrageous likee SO disrespectful ughhh I still hope for the day they release an all RnB album together or smthh

[@ninisooluv]

Caitlin! Thank you so much for reacting to XOXO ❤️ This is such a pleasant surprise and I’m so happy that EXO carved themselves a special place in your heart that you continue to discover more of their discography despite it being such a large body of work that can be intimidating at times. Thank you for this gift to us, EXO-Ls! I hope you continue to get more into their music. Regardless of what content you upload, guaranteed I’ll continue to support you. Take care always!

[@lexajewel]

wolf definitely has an adjustment period 😂 once you've heard it a few times and the shock has worn off, the more beautiful elements start to stand out. it took me several listens before i got it, but when it clicked, it clicked. also not one of my favorites, but i have so much love for that song and this album 💙 thank you for at least giving the song another shot 😂😂

[@jabberjanna]

OMGGG. This is the first kpop album I've ever loved!!! I remember the Heart Attack VCR and rookie NCT dreamies were in it and they were so awkward XD

[@sofismith1391]

Black pearl was my anthem back in 2014, I would listen to it nonstop

[@shennyan]

Teared up as soon as XOXO started playing haaaa The nostalgiaaa ✨ EXO's music is timeless.

[@NanaNini-xc3yz]

32:36 I bawled my eyes once. I thought I'm just weird but apparently it's a normal thing in EXO Planet. 33:01 apparently, they sang Don't Go live back to back with Angel too 😭

[@elsoh]

YOU KEEP BLESSING US WITH THESE UPLOADS 😭 THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@ahhnne]

exo’s discography is insane. slaying and outdoing the industry since day 1

[@iamjmcha]

more than a decade later and this is still my favorite album and Don't Go is still my favorite Exo song. it just has that special place in my heart❣ i can never forget my teenage years singing my heart out, especially with dont go and baby dont cry, even when neighbors can hear and nobody understands my love for korean music.

[@WinterIm.]

This is my Favorite Album of all time. Like I don't buy Albums but this one made me. I even memorize every single song by heart and I was 14 when this came out. I'm 23 now T~T

[@fallinflower4716]

Omg same do I🥲 we're grown up well with exo and their discography

[@inuiiasa_7611]

My favorite album .. thank you Caitlin ❤❤❤

[@Italian67foreverexofan]

I’ve been EXO-L just for a few years and I like all of the album,they make me happy❤❤❤❤❤

[@inuiiasa_7611]

[@rebeckaroy6790]

Wow, pure nostalgia and classics whenever I listen to this

[@gretthalai4934]

I didn’t like wolf until 2017 (I’ve been an exol since debut, btw ) I remembered when exo came to my country during EXOrdium , I didn’t listen to any spoilers so as soon I heard wolf I was kinda embarrassed cuz I was with a cousin who’s a normie and LET👏ME 👏TELL👏 YOU , that remix always appears at my “exo‘s most replayed songs “ and I grew to love the song , specifically the Chinese version ❤

[@Italian67foreverexofan]

Thank you sooo much we love everything you do with our EXO❤❤❤❤❤

THANK YOU FOR THIS AND ITS AN HOUR LONGGG??!!!

Memories passed with this album🥹😭💓I hope they sing all the songs live again in the 2023 version. This album is special. 😭😭😭

[@ainamad9074]

Caitlin😭😭😭 Thank you girl🥹 and I would like to say thank you for loving our boys😭🫶🏼💓🫂

[@amartyasalsa]

CRYING SO UGLY WHILE WATCHING THIS :( THANK YOU FOR THIS REACTION CAITLIN!!!!! They (exo) are the Peterpans, while we (exo-l) are the Tinkerbell. Someday they will find their own Wendy, and we Tinkerbell can do nothing but watch them from afar. Chen found his wendy already, we Tinkerbells are happy for him and his wendy. At least this was the way that we (exo-l) interpreted the song Peterpan when it first came out. This song holds a special meaning for us so thank you so much for reacting to the song❤

[@kiemmy_eri]

Thank you so much for this Caitlin 🥹 Its always nice to relisten to EXO's old discography with EXOLs discovering them for the first time. I thought I wouldn't cry but I broke down during PETER PAN bc yes it does seem like a fan x idol story ㅠㅠ Now that they're starting to create their own family, as well as some of us EXOLs, it hits harder 🥺❤

[@DragonicMK0126]

This is still my favorite exo album after 10 years. Nothing has top this for me interms of exo music.

[@cleverlynagloro3044]

Thank you for the reaction Caitlyn! This album is GOLDEN!! Also, try the teaser videos there's A LOT and A LOT OF KAI!! Lol! You'll enjoy them guaranteed❤

[@nikkiferretti]

Girl, Xiumin's solo performance of Don't Go before he enlisted made it so every time I hear it I have an automatic cry response now. His voice was _made_ for that song. The live versions with all 9 of them are heavenly- def watch in your own time ❤

[@oohfanniemae]

Don't Go (Butterfly Girl) is also a special song between EXO and EXO-Ls ❤️

[@polyy_L]

This reaction is sooo iconic, Caitlyn who has been exposed to 4th gen sound finally got her ears to XOXO ALBUM 💙💙💙 I LOOOOOVEEE

[@nicoleconde5479]

This album is a masterpiece ,this EXO-K version is so precious. EXO-M version was another kind of mood for me. Cause' we had Tao and Luhan, Chen was a monster with Lady and Let out the beast, and Lay in Baby don't cry makes me reallly cry OMG I love music and I love EXO

[@edithsurigao6511]

Glad that you are reacting to this album...its a favorite for most OG EXO fans!! The songs are great so much fun. I know that you may not be able to watch the live of the songs any time soon. But, I do highly recommend that if and when you can. PLEASE..PLEASE DO SO! It will be so worth it. They are so amazing to watch. Some of my favorites are XOXO, Let Out the Beast, Lucky, Don't Go, Heart Attack..I can go on...but you get the idea. The live for ALL the songs are worth a watch. Hope you can watch them..even if you don't give a live reaction..watching them is something all EXO fans must do. 🥰🌺

[@dakie_1550]

Thank you for always appreciating and loving EXO and thier songs. God Bless you Caitlin!

[@dreamofbaek]

OMG WERE HAVING THE OLD EXO ALBUMS YES!! 🔥🔥🔥 My top 3: Baby Don't Cry, Black Pearl and probably XOXO. And i agree with you girl, Let Out The Beast is a BOP! As always thank u for the reaction and also thank you very much for taking your time to edit and give us content 💖

[@lilieksustafiana4506]

Aww thank you sm Caitlin girl. This album is so nostalgic kind a way for me, whereas iam listen to exo since 2019. This is a great album. My fav is Don't Go, this song is in my top 10 EXO song. Caitlin thank you again for this, and always stay healthy dear (its Kyungsoo motto 😁✌️)

[@hinasevat]

Listening to this album made me flashback to my middle school days.. LIKE THE AMOUNT OF FANFIC THIS ERA GENERATED?! PEAK LITERATURE *chef's kiss*

[@nabi1504]

Thanks for reacting this album. ❤Although these songs are in my playlist and I listen so often, bringing the whole album like this is like you bringing my newbie L’s heart and feelings of 10 years ago. Don’t go and Peter Pan are my vibe songs. I love them so much. Singing “Peter Pen” and “Don’t go”along with my boys while watching their beautiful faces in their concert is one of my dreams that is not very easy to fulfill😂. But ,yeah, that’s my wish.❤

[@mcL517]

OLD BUT GOLD!! thanks so much for sharing the highlights for those of us who r unable to watch via patreon. exo has always had a good foundation of vocals and it shows even in their early works ❤

[@ahhnne]

theyre known to have the best bsides and best discography. hope you listen to all of their albums its definitely hard to rank them all

[@hrydmrx]

this album is gold. exo's best album ❤❤

[@eristeffi5526]

Once I listen Don't Go it will bring back the memories of OT12 it's hurt me so much especially my first bias is Luhan I cry so much of him especially he write the lyrics on Don't Go but he go anyway I feel nostalgic thank you Caitlin❤

[@iwillkyungsueu4411]

TYSM CAITLIN for doing xoxo album reaction!!! omg this brings back so many memories and i feel like i wanna cry ahhh

[@elarianasky]

It doesn't seem to be stated by anyone in the comments, but Lucky is the song that was written by EXO for k-exols specifically. It's a bit conjecture, but in recent years, at least before enlistments began, a few intl fans were a bit sad about the lyrics to it, especially in the beginning where they sing a line about speaking the same language. It's a very clear and distinct nod to Korean fans for obvious reasons, so intl fans felt left out of the equation with the lyrics' existence. I unfortunately cannot remember if the boys did anything to adjust the lyrics of it for later concerts or not, I'd like to think that they did because they do have a _ton_ of intl fans, most of whom are probably learning Korean whilst the boys are learning their language as much as they can. In the end though, that lyric may end up meaning something else entirely, when intl fans and EXO can speak each others languages and still be connected. ♥The live version of this on Spotify (or even on YT!) from the EXO'luXion is so so so cute and the ending gets me so emotional every single time without fail. What a blast from the past. I love EXO so much. Thanks for the awesome video and reaction !!!

[@reinesss13]

Gosh XOXO album is like a home to me. Something about it just makes me wanna go back and listen to it every year. No skip album! Crazy first full length album for a rookie group back then. I can't wait for MiD album! Xoxo, MiD, Exodus and Universe is definitely my fave EXO album. I cant wait for you to listen to them❤

[@syelaman2]

Thank you thank you! This is still my most favorite album! Edit: I commented immediately after getting into this video and I see many people commenting very similarly that it's their favorite album! Will probably comment more as the video progresses but excited already! Wow what a ride it was!

[@yevgenyalekhinelargo1662]

When this album was released back then, this is the era where I'm writing love songs as well, I just don't know why but EXO is such a great group with such sweet songs made. Until now I can't get enough of them, now I'm 25 and still a D.O. bias and we have same genres in singing. I do perform at genres that he sings as well, I sing his songs most of the time. Been chilling now coz it's real life and we have so many responsibilities but never regrets stanning on them.

[@tizennies]

oh god just cried listening with you. this is literally the album of their youth. no group beats this ever

[@kimsstan]

HERAT ATTACK IS RLLY HIT THE HEART ❤

[@syafira8968]

this was beautiful. this album was the essence of my 12 y/o days and i'm glad you're experiencing it now. i'm so excited for you to discover more of their albums and i'm really grateful that you're sharing your journey of discovering their music with us 🫶🏼

[@ssebsession]

OMGGG I can't believe it, recently I was asking you to react to Exo's album and look, thank you very much from Exo-l, I'm happy that there is still content for Exo and I hope that in the future you can react to *EXACT* - 2016 and *EXODUS* - 2015 complete

[@Bciv]

16:40 best song ever 😭💞 Chanyeol and Baekhyun wrote this song

[@mero_mero]

This is the era I'm obsessed with. Like literally. I still remember my classmate in middle school introduced me to exo and I became a HUGE fan of them. 'My lady' is my all-time fav song from Exo

[@atrzyn531]

This is like a walkdown to memories land...... I miss XOXO era so much

[@Carmie_lulu]

Dont go has been my fav since i heard it back then. It does make me feel so nostalgic too! Xiumin did is own verson of dont go and its just as beautiful as you think it would be T.T

[@suchanya4780]

exo vocals so crazy😭

[@dachi1611]

Gosh, why do I feel like crying 😢 this is bringing me back to my middle school days when I used to be obsessed, OBSESSED, with EXO. Literally one of the greatest album of all times, exo was that one and only group that had me listening to and loving all the songs on an album.

[@Iahiah234]

O MY GOSH THIS IS A GIFT FOR ME THANKYOU SO MUCH CAITLIN BLESSYAH

[@Iahiah234]

i feel like cryn this album was like a baby to us exols

[@LilahMalveira]

Hi Catlin, thanks for this Exo highlight. My top 3 definitely has #Don'tGo... D.O and Kay shine so much in these songs that it's hard to single out just one, but I still love my little ray of sunshine #Xiumi #lovefromBrasil xoxo

[@soom2260]

man the nostalgia! 😭 i have a soft spot for this album tho it's not my personal favourite. God, i just love Exo music so much

[@yeolsooist_]

It makes me cry so much coz XOXO is that album that gaves exols all the FEELS!!!! This is why XOXO is still that legendary album for me. 💕 p.s Kinda relate as to how an exol like me was a directioner too. 😂 I think that's how it goes, really. Hahaha. 😅

[@nemo_vela]

I think this album will forever be in my top 3 exo albums. It just reminds me of the time i got into kpop and this album dropped and it instantly made me stan them. I just have fond memories with every song in this album. The chinese version of heart attack is still in my top 3 exo songs. I guess bcs i heard it first and the korean vers sounds off to me :`) thank you for reacting to the album! i really enjoyed it :D

[@Jeanbrt1]

My favorite b-side from them by far is My Lady. The begging with D.O? It's so goooooood

[@kimmz6031]

Thank you caitlin i’ve always loved ur reactions esp to exo. Keep listening to good music & stay happy🫶🏻

[@annyeong_anneyong]

46:29 the song that’s important to the fandom is actually don’t go! Hehehe but personally I feel like peterpan can make u cry just as hard. Very underrated song imo. And omg 🥺🥹 listening to all these again is so nostalgic. I was only 16 when it came out, am 26 now and still loving the boys🩷🩷looking back, they were such boysssss HAHAH and now they’ve all grown :’)

[@eli-hk3cl]

i was so shocked seeing you react to xoxo, because this is came out when i was just 12 years old and i'm like in my 20s now, but this album remains my favorite. there was just something else in this album, and i love your reaction. also baby don't cry! yes that song is so 🤌🏻

[@pinkprincessjaemin]

Omggg this album hit me with so much nostalgia. Also dont know If u know heart attack has a vcr music video type that u can see sm rookies nct dream In the bg

[@angielicasister5399]

xoxo still may faves rington

[@citraamanda3143]

I'm so glad that you did a reaction to this album, but you got to do a reaction to Lucky live ver in Japan. You won't believe what they're doing in the concert. I bet you wouldn't stop screaming. And also Don't Go live ver but fancam compilation by youtuber xoxo_xoxo. They really made it so beautifully and looks magical. It will bring smile on your face nonstop

[@sweetmimosamommysaranghae3163]

9:45 someone probably already said it but I think them saying they want to 'bite' is like as in to mate? like wolves mark their mate by biting between the neck and shoulder and it completes the first part of bonding so they're mated emotionally, and then the other part is i guess intercourse? edit: so since the love interest is a human that is why they might be trying to be careful and saying they're in trouble falling for a human who's scared of them since they're wolves??? so this is where those wolf au fanfics get their inspos from💀💀

[@funkygiovi]

i wish they re recorded this album with all the current members so the versions with chen and xiumin were on streaming platformsssss TT

[@Apanatchi]

Thank you for giving us this reaction even though it means more work for you due to editing. Really appreciate it 🥰 I checked your Exo PL for this Highlight reaction since you mentioned it in another video ☺️ This is my fav Exo Album so far, a no skip one and it has some of my fav songs like Lucky, Don’t Go and Peter Pan. I really like 365 and ofc Baby Don’t cry and for me Black Pearl is a hidden gem You should react to Thunder again without getting attacked with visuals non-stop 😂 I guess that goes for all the songs you hit in that live reaction 😊

[@tinytsun]

The way I used to have Black Pearl on REPEAT!? UGHH😫😫❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Tooba-K123]

I still hear black pearl repeatedly 😂❤

[@chowaii]

Best album EVER!

Yeeeeessssss!!!!!!!! This is the one I've been waiting! Thank you so much for this Caitlin! 😍🥰😘

[@christiangadon4116]

Heart attack is my song from this album❤

[@tinybean15]

it's always so funny to see how different people respond to wolf lol. i had a friend in college who literally only knew wolf. that was her first and only exposure to exo, so i had her listen to more of their discography...and she didn't enjoy anything other than wolf.

[@karlandrei2942]

Don’t go will always be on everyone’s favorite song. Its that good.

[@kiwi-pw6yo]

Thank you caitlin this must have been so much work🥺

[@MIMIEL99]

Thanks you so much for your reaction to this iconic album of exo ❤

[@crixwaters2348]

That´s how EXO sound goes, they are either a Pass or a MISS at first, but the latter ends becoming a Pass as time goes. I am a hardcore EXO-L, and WOLF was not for me for a long time, but the more I listened to it, especially watching reactions, the more I started loving it, as I became familiar with it.

[@medaumnachos]

Caitlin, i'm EXO-L for so long, and don't realize how much i know about EXO and i'm actully singing along, u give me a gift witth this video.Thak u so much. (English is not my first language)

[@nilooniloo7159]

Oh god ...i really miss old Exo...i can't stop crying

[@Ace_lonelysoul]

It's one of my favorite album ❤️

[@noorch7875]

The best live stage for black pearl is definitely MAMA 2014 (not the whole song but still magical). Check out the whole performance, they performed overdose too. Ps: you will see all the iconic faces of 2nd/3rd gen

[@m..na.]

The intro to heart attack still HITS

[@cimol_kyungsoo]

ROOKIE EXO DID THAT 🔥 DAMN, GOOD OLD DAYS 😭
