*EMOTIONAL* HE HAS MY HEART!!! Dedicated ARMY Reacts to! Streetlight by Changbin ft. Bangchan

[@CocoPop2020]

i'm glad you said that about the fandoms. alot of reactors don't set boundries well enough and it gets worse. you'll probably have to repeat it alot as you get more viewers. sorry in advance. they're more emotional songs hurt me so deep. I realy likes scars. it's emotional but more up beat. same with Silent cry. redlights 👁👄👁. this was like my second stray kids video and I was NOT prepared. i went from gods menu to redlight and was shookth 😂

[@Boraheartsss]

Consider this my boundary setting. We will have no SKZ vs BTS beef in my channel 🤺

[@CocoPop2020]

good i'm not sure why it's still a thing now that it's out that chan and jungkook are friends. they all know lee know. like whhhhhy fight? i don't know much about BTS. i know like 5 songs but they're great. i have seen more behind the scene content than songs so far. ateez too. i love the group as people but haven't been pulled in by the songs i've heard yet. they good just don't stick to me like skz is currently. the rest of kpop i know is sporatic. i'm only a year in.

[@ehstay3214]

Very happy you set these boundaries! I hate fan wars! They are all talented!

[@mehreenn]

If you watched the Music Video, when the song finishes, it ends with a black screen and just text saying "it hurts to be alone" AND HOLY SHIT. THAT HURT.

[@JLynnEchelon]

I was tearing up the whole time because I've been struggling a lot with loneliness lately, but the dam broke with that black screen. I was *so close*.

[@Melpo_skz]

Glad you spoke your mind about fanwars. 🥰 Don't worry too much about it. Most Stays are chill and there are so many Stars (Stayarmies) that usually a lot of love is just going around.

[@alexaskz00]

Stars is such a cute name to call stayarmies omg first time I read it.

[@Boraheartsss]

I really like this! I already added MOARMY to my personal vocabulary looks like we adding Stars as well 🤗

[@rugr82day]

@@Boraheartsss, yeah most of Stay takes their cue from Stray Kids and they (especially Chan) are friends with a lot of other Kpop artist and groups, even ones outside of JYP. They are also big fans of BTS and other artist that came before them.

STARS sounds sooo nice! 2016 ARMY and 2022 STAY here🙋‍♀💜💜💕💕

[@rugr82day]

In concerts Changbin has said he'll be the streetlight shining bright for Stays that need it. 😭 He's so sweet 💜

[@Skz_704]

I really do think all of SKZ know how to sing about loneliness and pain with so much impact because they themselves have experienced what they're singing about. It's one thing I'm so grateful for, nothing they sing about ever comes from anywhere else but their hearts. It's what makes them so human to me. I love these boys so much and I'm glad their sound managed to comfort and relate to yet another person today, considering that that's all they ever talk about - creating music to give people a safe haven. Others like RUN, Alien, Wish you back by HAN, I don't want to admit by Chan, Deep end by Felix are some of my personal favourites since these songs are up to multiple interpretations, it's never just romantic and I think that's the beauty of it.

[@martynaszukaa8422]

[@min1705]

Honestly the lyrics to Stray Kids songs are what drew me to them in 2017. Hellevator (their first song together) dropped and I clicked it out of curiosity only to be hit in the face with the lyrics and I was immediately drawn in. And throughout the years, I feel like I grew up with them and experienced similar things as them at least emotionally. They went from the lyrics about discovering who they were to telling everyone "this is us. This is what you're getting." And more recently they've been getting into discovering their more mature sides, talking about love in their lyrics and honestly as someone who is similar in age to them, I feel like I experienced these emotions on a similar level as them throughout these years.

[@AndI0op-]

So glad you reacted to this! You should react to “ALIEN” By Han too that song had me tearing up a bit lowkey tho

[@von1glik]

Yup. Alien, Slump and Run.

[@martynaszukaa8422]

Also scars

[@JAMoore-zz3ki]

The first time I heard Changbin singing Streetlight and read the lyrics, it made me tear up. Listening to you and hearing your emotions, I'm tearing up again. Sending you hugs.

[@elenapicco1412]

i was a stay before an army and don’t worry too much about the negative comments cause i feel like it’s natural to point out similarities when you’re really into something and you’re checking out something new, and honestly the amount of stayarmies there are out there demonstrate that both groups have something in common that makes them stand out in their own ways

[@Boraheartsss]

They definitely do and I understand how you can fall in love with both easily!

[@amisedai942]

If your Army and Stay you are a STAR ✨ 💙💜💙💜

[@susannac3894]

Welcome to the Changbin's club. Not only he is an excellent rapper, he also is a poet, a great song writer and a a great lyricist.

[@redblue5454]

i was an army before i became a stay, and it was the similarities between the two that pulled me to skz, and then after that i learned more about the group and started loving them and their personalities work and ambitions...so i totally get you, i think it's pretty normal. ps. moonchild and streetlight are my comfort songs, so I'm happy you got to react to this song and experience it for yourself!!

[@elenapicco1412]

han is an emotional lyricist as well, any remotely sad skz song that has been released was written by him lol as for his solo songs alien is probably the most emotional and deep

[@von1glik]

Him or Binnie. Ex, Sorry I love you, Neverending story...

[@heatherswitzer9938]

Thank you for addressing fanwars. I'm a massive Stay, and also consider myself a casual fan of BTS/baby Army. Most Stays I've interacted with are pretty chill, it's just the ones who are more toxic can be quite loud. I watched your whole Stray Kids guide reaction, heard the comparisons (i.e. pointing out similarities) and didn't think anything of it. In fact, I liked it because the connections were interesting. Bang Chan has told Stays MULTIPLE times both on Bubble and on Vlive that he does not want Stays participating in fan wars, dragging other groups, or coming to SKZ defense. Fan wars don't even make sense because most of these groups are either friends or fans of each other! All this to say, I'm sorry you had to deal with all that.

[@seochangbinsarms]

I like literally love you? And fan wars r fucking insane and for some reason stays always get brought in, even if it’s not about skz or the fandom😭💀and I really love how much you appreciate Changbin, unfortunately up until the past year or two hes been VERY under appreciated and looked over.

[@safya.sweetie]

I understand what you mean I've been an army for 7 years now, the way i met bts was the definition of that quote I literally was at my darkest time and bts were the light that kept me going so they mean a lot for me, I just recently became a stay ( i saw them first at 2017 when they released their pre-debute track "hellevator" and listned to their title tracks but i stoped at "side effects" which dropped in 2019 because of some problems i had at the time) i actually became so invested in them after i saw their personalities through the many KZbin shorts i saw and now i am a stay who love them so much that i can't ever explain it. I understand how some people will get the wrong idea even if we don't mean to compare them it just that it makes us happy to see some similarities between our favorite groups. I am overjoyed to see you reacting to streetlight in this way since it's one of those that I relate to, it makes me feel warm-hearted to see that its not only me who feel like that when i saw you describing what you've gone through and how the song describes that, would it be wrong to say that it made me happy knowing that i am not the only one felt like that. Anyway, i loved your reaction so much and i hope you check out Alien by han. Luv u ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 💜 Ps: sorry for the long comment i didn't know i was rambling this much 😅😅

[@Boraheartsss]

I still get teary eyed thinking about the time I found BTS. I love this song by Changbin because it reminds me of that moment. I’m glad I decided to look into SKZ ☺️

Isn't it beautiful how music can save us? Even if it isn't in our own language, that is magical 🥹 I'm happy that you're fine now and working through it! At the end of their videos they always put "stray kids everywhere all around the world, you make Stray Kids Stay", even if we lose ourselves in the way, Stray Kids will found us someway and guide us where we belong and accompany us forever so we won't fall apart again, and if we do fall apart they'll make sure to catch us and help us stand up to keep walking alongside us 🫂✨️ Btw, butterfly is my favorite song after Film Out. Like those two, I can hear them and cry on repeat all day long 🥹

[@StayJJ0325]

If you want emotion then you should also listen to deep end (Felix) and I hate to admit (bang Chan). Also because (Felix and changbin) both singing and rapping in it and it’s a really good song. Also piece of a puzzle (seungmin and changbin) is another good one. Also miss you (hyunjin) is a sad/deep song. Also winter falls, it was written by Han and he has a way of taking the most sad lyrics but having a good beat with it to make you want to cry and bop at the same time. Also stars and raindrops (seungmin) great song, literally one of my favorites and he isn’t even my og bias. (OG bias is Felix. Now it’s Felix, seungmin, Han and bang Cham as bias and the other 4 as wreckers). Ok. Now I will stop editing to add songs lmao

[@aquarmg]

I love rap but know nothing about the technical aspect behind it. So I appreciate your reviews so much. Changbins raps have always reminded me of an additional "instrument" in the music composition and you really made me understand why that is Thank you 😊. 🥰🥰🥰 p.s. welcome to the fandom 💜 💕 ❤️ STAYS appreciate you. 🥰

[@aquarmg]

BTW I literally can't wait for you to hear HEYDAY and DOODLE!! I'm so excited to follow your channel! 🥰🥰🥰

[@tuskiz1841]

Sorry, this will be a long ass comment. I just feel like sharing since you mentioned butterfly.😁I found BTS when i was really into kpop in 2014. I casually listened to a lot of groups, but in 2015 when BTS released TMBMIL series, I started focusing on them only. I was sooo in love with the albums (TMBMIL pt.1, TMBMIL pt.2, Young Forever) and I became their huge fan since then. I'm a sucker for sad deep songs that I could relate to. Rain, Butterfly (Prologue mix version), House of Cards and Tomorrow are my jam. Those songs are in my list of all time favourite kpop songs ever. In 2017, i discovered skz when i first watched Hellevator. I fell in love with Changbin's rap right away. He became my favourite after RM but I wasn't really into the group yet. I did listen to their albums but I was just a casual listener. Until they released Levanter. (levanter deserves better tho. I'm still bitter it's not fans fav😅). I was so in love with the album. The same way that I did with TMBMIL. I spent the unhealthy amount of time watching skz contents and became a dedicated fan because of levanter. So I understand that same feeling you got when listening to a new group after you're used to listen to another group. I totally get you. Levanter drew me into skz the same way TMBMIL drew me into bts. So, don't pay attention to negative comments. Sorry for those immature fans though. Just do whatever makes you comfortable. I really enjoy watching your reaction. Oh btw, Streetlight is also one of my all time favourite kpop songs ever and i love Changbin soooo much. Not just his rap but his personality as well. I'm glad you decided to check this song out.

[@elishkashere]

I love your reaction, because what you described about Butterfly is the same for me with Streerlight. This song as well as the rest of SKZ help me through a lot on a daily basis. So when you described your past situation, I literally teared up. Let's be strong together. Fighting! Also, for the emotional experience, please listen to Alien and Run by Han, Deep End by Felix, and Silent Cry and Lonely St. by OT8

[@Morguesich]

As a older stay I feel like you never compared them to the point that it ever became negative I totally understood why you kept mentioning them and if certain stays got offended I honestly don’t understand why lol love the reactions🖤 I recommended you react to ( the tortoise and the hare)

[@SKZemiliaSTAY]

Streetlight is honestly one of my all time favorite songs. I cry almost every time I hear it 😭. I love Binnie so so so much 🥰. He's such a wonderful person and lyricist with such a beautiful, caring heart. Everyone in SKZ goes to him for advice bcuz the way he thinks is so deep and profound. He's so observant of the people around him and gives such beautiful insight. I'm so glad you are getting to know the guys and how wonderful they are. I'm actually doing the opposite and getting to know BTS and how wonderful they are as well 🥰. I can't wait for more reactions!

[@AC-uc3ey]

You are so fucking real for just dropping everything and buying that skzoo. I heart. Also, you're inspiring me to give BTS another go. Imma go listen to Butterfly. Thank you for sharing your reaction. I don't watch a lot of reaction videos because...I just don't. But I'm so glad I clicked on your red lights reaction at a whim, and that I've fallen down the borahearts rabbit hole. (I'm also glad I caught you at the beginning, so I can be a fan of yours from the start. I wish you many happy hyperfixations so I can ride along with you.)

[@skijigi123]

I'm excited for you to get to other songs. Stray kids are known for their deep lyrics. Literally every song is talking about their personal experience, and considering everything they've been through - the lyrics can hit really hard. That's why Skz×Stay connection is so strong. They are real with us. We can feel their sincerity. Everyone can relate to them on a personal level. I'm happy you're finding your conection with them step by step. Thank you for the reaction ❤

[@marinakaratzoglou4298]

For the last 8 hours I've been watching your Stray Kids reactions non stop. I really want to tell you that I appreciate your approach so much. The way you describe you discovering BTS and staning them since was exactly the same for me and SKZ. It doesn't really matter Who did it for either of us. It could easily have been the other way round. But the impact their music had in our lives was identical and equally life-changing. I won't go into much personal details, just wanted to let you know that I see you and I'm very happy I'm following this journey, even if it's a year later. 🙏❤️

[@kaiwren7814]

The way you describe how you feel about this song and BTS Butterfly is how I felt when I listened to Stray Kids Voices for the first time. Scars also hits me like that as well. Especially when you pair the songs with the choreography (they have a dance practice/performance video for both songs). So many of Stay Kids songs have such a deep meaning. Being in my mid 30's and dealing with a lot of mental health stuff throughout my life, it was really nice coming across a group that a majority of their songs have actual substance. I've only been a Stay for like 1.5 months, but I came across them at a really low time in my life and they have helped me so much. Sometimes I feel ridiculous saying that a Kpop group means so much to me, but music has always been healing to me and their discography does not disappoint in that regard.

[@neda4488]

[@binnie1801]

This song has me in tears everytime I listen to it. If I could hug this song I would. When I first heard this song for the first time in my life I felt understood. Even at a young age when I tried asking for help I was always ignored so I just stopped sharing when something was bothering me and took care of things by myself. I built up this mask that I hid behind so people wouldn't know how broken I really felt. It's gotten to the point where I've pushed everyone back enough that I don't even know how to reach out to them anymore. I pushed them all back because I'm afraid of getting hurt again. This song was basically Changbin pulling my mask away and saying this is how you're really feeling and not the tough exterior you show. This was the moment I became a Stay. I knew that I had to Stay here. Changbin is my bias. He makes me feel safe. They all do. Thank you so much for reacting to this song. I'm saving up to get my own tattoo for this song. It means that much me. Enjoy your journey.

[@sickminho]

I really want to recommend one of my TOP favorite songs of theirs, ‘Silent Cry’ it’s a group song and it’s just really helped me a lot. The sound is just amazing, but also the lyrics hit.

[@von1glik]

Funny thing bout the Kids - they have little to none love songs. Like purely about romantic love. They sing about relationships but there is always a double meaning. Their lyrics are very introspective, many are diss tracks but usually formed as an answer. Call them pots and pans music - they will come back with gods menu. Noisy - they will make an album about being noise goblins with a Cheese intro. The series I am not, I am who, I am you is literally about finding yourself and your voice. Cle is all about the journey not the goal. Oddinary give s us a hall pass to being odd. I don't mind comparing the Kids to bts but afaik they are different. I am an older stay. Like late 30s. I stoped listening to new music in early 2010s. Everything was so boring, everything was about the same topics. When I hear bts I hear music for nice, obedient kids. When I hear skz I hear my mischievous childhood and my not so normal present. I hear ppl who went and still go through sth and figure things out. I don't hear answers wrapped in nice slogans. Tbf I don't know whole bts discography. I got bored after few of their greatest hits (I've heard few better snipets but not ehough to wipe the butter taste in my mouth). Skz and bts are targeted to different audiences

[@Boraheartsss]

You clearly have not listened to BTS songs if that’s the impression you got 😅 Like I’m literally crying at the “nice obedient kids” part 💀 but it’s okay we are allowed to like who we like so you don’t need to be a fan of BTS if that’s what you want 🤗

[@von1glik]

@@Boraheartsss Don't get me wrong. I know they are a group of talented boys. They just make this kind of music that doesnt sit with me well. Like Backstreet boys of my time while I was a Korn enthusiast. Except Fire. Fire is good and most of Sugas and Jhopes solos I've heard - these were good to.

[@Boraheartsss]

The reason I said this is because they do not, have not, and will not make the type of music you are talking about. Never once has anyone considered them "nice obedient kids" when they released three entire albums talking about the unlawful systems and damaging societal norms of Korea, 3 additional albums about learning how to love yourself, 3 more albums about fighting against sin and temptation and becoming a better version of yourself, and an entire album about the pandemic and how to get through it. Like they were literally disliked for making songs about things Koreans considered "taboo" and against "idol culture" their entire career. Just leave your comments at "I dont know their discography" because oh BOY were you just completely wrong 🤣 I get what you mean tho because if you've only heard BTS title tracks without looking into the rest of their songs, or even knowing the deeper meaning behind those popular songs, it may just come across to you as "trendy music" and that's it. it's a common misconception so no biggies 🤗

The song that cemented Changbin as my bias wrecker. I watched the music video without subtitles first and still teared up, then I saw the lyrics...😭

[@jojo.joanna]

Appreciate you clarifying your stance on the different groups, your journey is yours only and your opinions and preferences are informed by your own experience! All I hope is that you can enjoy the ride :) As the other comments have mentioned, SKZ discography is a gold mine in terms of deep and meaningful lyrics, so if you like these types of songs there is a lot more to discover! I personally found myself connecting with their lyrics predebut and have loved seeing their growth ever since

[@MalickaNeya]

If you like emotional songs, you should definitely add I Hate To Admit by Bangchan to the list Even without the lyrics, just the raw emotion in his voice makes you cry. I think you will appreciate many of their songs (be it solo or group songs) because they often get personal and deal with relatable issues. Han has a lot of deep songs too. I can relate to Changbin in Streetlight on a personal level a lot too because even if you have everything (nice parents and siblings, nice friends, a good job, you just can't help it if you feel depressed but then it makes you feel guilty, like you shouldn't feel that way and shouldn't ask for help because you feel like your problems are insignificant, before you just accept it and find some little things to make your life a bit brighter). Streetlight also has a music video on their channel and every time Chan's voice comes in at the end, it makes me cry more because it's like he's telling Binnie "you're not the only streetlight who feels that way, I am here too and you have me now" And then those high notes at the end... Maybe I feel that way because of Chan's backstory from his trainee years that we have gradually gathered from pieces of information through the years as he started opening up more and I can't imagine... It's seriously my villain origin story. (Yes, I know there are trainees with even longer training period than 7-8 years but they don't usually do that to kids who move from other countries. I can't imagine constantly losing friends I train with (because they debut, leave or are cut by the company) to the point of being the only trainee there and not even having family with me for half of my life since 12-13. No wonder he loves the kids so much.) I am OT8 all the way but if I really had to choose then Chan is my bias and Changbin is the wrecker... So I guess so far we can high five?🤣 But you will love each one of them. It just can't be helped and I think you know that from previous experience.😅 Oh, so you are getting your Wolf Chan and Dwaekki? I have to say that all the SKZOO look like little criminals, I mean... troublemakers except for Wolf Chan, because his smile is so precious. He seems like he won't judge you even if you sleep late, so he is the perfect sleeping hug huddy.☺️

Stray Kids’ Secret Secret, written by Han, is my comfort song. It’s the type of song that you put on after a bad day and it feels like a warm hug. I hope you give it a listen! The vocals in that song are some of my favorites!

[@otterms]

I commented this on your first video but 100% agree on the fanwar stuff, it's total nonsense and hell yeah for you for speaking out. I have a song I'd like to recommend, lyrically, I'm not sure others have mentioned yet? It's "Placebo". It's my tattoo song 😭 I find it bittersweetly comforting. The jist is basically life sucks now, maybe later it won't be, so in the meantime I'm just going to let myself think things will be okay, like a placebo effect, and one day that'll be true. I just love how it's optimistic but also practical.

[@wutong4204]

As STAY we don't have a single bias, it's impossible. Stray Kids IS our bias.

[@nualaseamus]

As a Stay, I get what you talking about the fanwar stuff. I innocently asked for some recommendations once and was trying describe what I love about Stray Kids as a barometer - because it was what I was familiar with and I got schooled hard. I'm more cautious these days. But even though Stray Kids is a group I adore, it doesn't mean I can't be open-minded about other groups and respect the work and talent of other artists. One of the reasons I love SKZ is that they put themselves into their music and capture different moods and emotions with their lyrics. Their earlier music reflected their search for their identity and struggles - later music shows their growth and depth. Changbin is fantastic on this. 🥰💖 I've said this before on other reactions of yours, but I love how you breakdown the rapping dynamics.

[@Boraheartsss]

Ima be honest, K-pop fans are a little unhinged. Like a rap fan looking into other rappers isn’t gonna get attacked for not stanning one person 💀 I don’t get where this “solo stan” mindset came from but I wish it would stop. It’s so close-minded and you miss out on so much of the genre if you’re only looking at one source 😔

[@zsomlekrisztina]

I think it's partly because of the public vote awards, like MAMA. I started watching SKZ and kpop in general last fall, and every second comment on every SKZ content was about voting, streaming, and not watching other bands because it affects the final result. I would understand if many people didn't open up to other bands for a while after this first impression.

[@OK-sx3fe]

streetlights is probably one of the most least skz song i listen to, not because its bad but because it never failed to make me tear up, like it always get me especially when it was not yet available on spotify where im forced to read the lyrics. There are a lot of songs that wrecked me when i discovered skz. they are the first group that caught my interest i ended up listening to their whole discography within 2 weeks or so. its crazy remembering it because they have 100+ songs. you could tell they are genuine and the feelings expressed are true just through their lyrics which they write themselves. i've never seen anyone who are so passionate and honest about their music. heres some recommendations Bang Chan: i hate to admit written by Han: Secret secret, Another Day written by Changbin: Sorry I Love You and i HIGHLY RECOMMEND watching Stray Kids THE FIRST TAKE, a Japanese channel that invite artists where they only have 1 take to perform. Stray Kids went there thrice.

i love the fact that you talked about the fact that changbin does not rap off beat but create his own beat. Actually chan saw people saying changbin rapping off beat and he did explain this on a live, iam so happy that you talked about it !

[@NemosNotes]

Loved your reaction, I'm glad Binnie's song could be a balm for somebody else. That's why he turned his pain into a song, to touch others and help them through their pain too. Such a beautiful song. Others have already recommended some beautiful other songs to check out. I have yet to find a SKZ song I don't like, but Scars (performance video or "the first take" live performance) is beautiful. Their latest album Replay has a lot of their solo and unit songs on it, a lot of those are very deep and meaningful too.

[@MommaJB]

Love that you appreciate the lyrics so much for all songs you react to. Thank you! Changbin always coming after us no matter what ! ❤

[@livxskz]

This song always makes my eyes leak. Thank u for reacting to this

[@Bludreamgirl]

This song makes me cry everytime

[@yngbokkari]

i love the rap lessons in the middle of every skz video

[@AndI0op-]

Oh girl…you done picked the craziest songs to listen to. Good luck 🤣🤣🤣💀

[@what1498]

there is two skz songs that always, always, resonate with me and makes me feel a certain way. One of it is hellevator and it talks about their struggles and it is extremely relatable. The other is grow up. grow up isn't a rap focused song and it's very mellow and soft but the lyricism in the song is what supports me to this day. would love for you to check them both out! silent cry as well :(

[@gorgs2215]

i loved what you said about changbin making the beat itself with his rap!!! makes me think of a part in one of their songs Charmer, he’s got a little section where he almost beatbox’s when he raps, it’s crazy i recommend listening to it!! thanks for reacting to skz 🥰

[@ColKizumi]

Once I saw someone write that changbin's flow needed work and I nearly lost it on them. How on earth can you say that about Changbin of all people. He's perfect! His flows are so goooood! Lol

[@l3uttaflyx3]

Oh wow...I JUST watched and commented on your guide video and mentioned that it didn't come off as comparing to me, just as if you were refencing. Which I feel is normal, bc everything we experience in life, especially new things that are unfamiliar to us, its almost like an instinct to reference what we already know in order to understand that new thing. Sorry that you had to make a whole "disclaimer" but I think its just because these fandoms are constantly going at each other, and a lot of Stays feel the need to constantly tell people to separate them so that skz can be their own entity. But trust me, I got it the first time! I genuinely don't think you meant any harm, and I could tell. I don't make reaction videos or anything like that, but skz was my first kpop (boy group) that I really fell hard for, and even I look at some other groups sometimes and think to myself "damn, they didn't even write this, or compose this, or arrange this themselves" and I think that's just a human thing to do because we're basing everything off of what we've experienced previously. Like you said, everyone is going to pick their faves no matter what, so why are we even bothering to argue?? Nobody's mind is gonna change but we can appreciate the music for what it is bc that's literally the whole point of the music anyway lol. That's basically all these artists/groups want us to do. Plus, if im keeping it a whole buck, all of this is derived from hip hop and r&b that was pioneered by black people! Anyway, sorry for long rant lol. I love this song and the message behind it. If you're always that person that everyone can lean on, who is that person for you?? Skz make quite a few catchy, fun songs, but they have a TON of meaningful & relatable songs as well. Cant wait for you to experience them!

[@Boraheartsss]

The said is perfectly 💯

[@OfficialAwkbe]

I've always been a multi, but grow attached to certain groups during important turning points of my life. From being a young teen whose mental health was plummeting... to a struggling college student who developed a panic disorder... to an agoraphobic young adult who couldn't leave the house... to now a successful healthcare worker who was brave enough to finally fly on an airplane by herself. It sounds ridiculous to some, but music really helped me when I felt like giving up and I was able to find strength through many artists over the years. That's why I can't understand why fandoms get angry with each other, especially people who are only part of one fandom and can't fathom why someone would find comfort in another artist outside of theirs. I wish we'd all respect each other and our individual journeys and mental health needs. In my case, I surrounded myself in music entirely like a cocoon until I was able to fly on my own wings... and I did. That being said... I think I've realized more as I've grown that music finds us when we most need it. For you, at the time, "Butterfly" was something that you needed in your life and you were meant to find BTS who could become a comfort group for you. The same goes for other groups you may delve into. This is a side note, but I think you'd enjoy songs by Epik High if you relate to songs like this one. I found that once I became an adult, I can relate to experiences like what Epik High talk about. If you're ever interested, I suggest the song "Home Is Far Away" by Epik High. I could name a dozen tracks tbh, but that one is one of the most relatable for me and has been on my playlist for six years. Hurts especially if you live far from your loved ones.

[@jadefrog]

I always love to find reactors who love rhythm and love to talk about it. And if you want more tissue songs, try Slump and Scars in the First Take versions which are Japanese versions of those songs. And maybe try Han's Secret Secret, which is pretty deep. He's also an introvert who used to push people away. Changbin on the other hand is one of the most extroverted people who exist, yet he is able to find and look into this space.

[@hydrokitcat2352]

You’ll learn as you go through their discography that A LOT of their songs are very heavy on mental health struggles. Personally, any song written by Han speak to me on a personal level. Alien, happy, slump, run, secret secret, another day, phobia, and so so many more but these are my personal faves that I think you’d deeply enjoy. Felix’s deep end is soul shattering. Silent cry is another one that hit me on a personal level, a song they wrote for Han while he was on a mental health hiatus. And yes there’s a reason soooo many stays are Ot8. It is so extremely difficult to pick a skz bias. I’ve been following them since predebut and I’ve still yet to be able to choose.

[@serakubilay9497]

Save “I hate to admit” by BangChan and “Hellevator” for when you’re ready for more tears. “Hellevator” is a song from very early in their debut times and it is so relatable and it really gives you that ache in your heart.

[@spearb00]

This is literally the song that make me fall in love with changbin,and start staning skz, he made this song FOR ME LIKE,he and this song have my whole heart , glad you could appreciate it, looking forward to doodle! one of my fav masterpiece of changbin

[@MommaJB]

It’s ok girl I’ve cried so much at different times in my life and hearing this song. Their songs got different and appreciating that is good. Any group/artist that shares their vulnerability and give us their inner most self is something we should cherish. Stay well girl we will Stay around to support you

[@anika4837]

I love this song so much, it truly speaks to my heart and i love changbins singing voice its beautiful! Stray kids are really good in lyrics truly! If you like sad songs with deep meanings react to their song "another day", "slump", there are a lot more but at the moment cant remember, also if you would continue with solo songs please react to hyunjins song "little star" which has a music video but doesn't have captions so for lyrics you can search it up with the title "miss you", because it was recently released with a different title but its the same song! Sorry for the long comment i hope you enjoy your journey! ❤️

[@ruhainadumato2823]

Oh darling, don't listen to low mindset people,am stay and I love you're honest reaction to our boys Straykids 👍❤️ Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@ellahtaylor8618]

What you said about pushing people away and not getting them back when you need them the most resonated with me you have no idea. I'm also an introvert and my people just don't get that I don't hate them or anything like that. I love them I just don't show it like how they want . Is so difficult sometimes. Thank you very much for telling your story.

[@schokigirl1989]

A song that did something similiar for me is "Alien" by Han, that talks about feeling lonely, because you feel so diffrent from the others. Illustrated MV from a Stay is the cherry on top.

[@liyaaahhhh]

you buying dwaekki in the middle of this had me in SHAMBLES LMAAOOOO

[@mangoconut14]

maybe you should give a listen to voices and alien (han). these songs made me cry so much, especially the lyrics

[@shyoeip.7971]

SKZ have a lot of emotional songs or about life struggles... My favorite are silent cry, lonely st., secret secret, Scars(japanese)..and lot more.. - story that never ends is good as well... Hans songs are amazing - ALIEN, CLOSE, WISH U BACK...

[@faegwen4220]

I'm glad you've started learning about SKZ. I am a dedicated Stay. So.. it makes me happy to see a dedicated Army liking them. We may not always agree but as someone said before... reasonable minds can differ. I hope you continue to enjoy your journey down the rabbit hole that is Stray Kids.

[@ashleylinton7293]

First skzoos acquired. 2/8 of the way to u being a stay🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@PlsGotobed]

Personally, the song that I would and did turn off the lights, hug myself and cry for are deep end and silent cry. Especially silent cry, it made my feel 100% accurate, like my voice is listened and i wish i came across this song when i was in my lowest

[@MakeGoodTrouble]

I think because Chan and Changbin are super close - and close because of their similar sensitive, deep and empathetic personalities - it makes me wonder if Changbin asked Chan to join in on the song because this song could truly be about either one of them. It's just who they are. And it's why I LOVE them!

[@lillibraun1528]

as a stay i want to say we appreciate and love you! thank you for your reactions!! 🫶🥰🥰🥰

[@arayou1230]

back when i was starting to look up to skz songs as a new stay, i got hooked up by han’s song the most. as if he understands what i feel, he speaks his mind through his lyrics and i can relate to almost all of it. some of my favourites were slump, 19, another day, secret secret and alien. hope you can react to those later :)

[@DoReMiChar]

Such a beautiful song 🥰

[@sucy1242]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💜❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@beatrizguerrero91]

Changbin my bias. 💖

[@michaelaroskova4793]

Well said! I've been Army since the summer of 2020 and I'm a Stay since the spring of 2022. Those two are my ult groups. I don't get why is it hard for fans to understand that being a fan of more artists isn't making you a fake fan. Now, I'm a multistan and I love it. I listen to so many different music, so many different artists and every one of these are talented people.

[@forever_here15]

I definitely recommend Deep end by Felix or I hate to admit by Bangchan if you want to

[@minie_143]

Now i hope you check out "secret secret" which han wrote, and "sorry i love you" which changbin wrote ♡♡These two songs came out on their full album noeasy

[@juliehooper4511]

Silent Cry always gets me in the feels. Then there is the choreo. Omg.

[@katiegrossman2338]

Yeah this song hits real hard. If you want some more super hard hitting emotional songs I’d highly highly recommend hate to admit by Bang Chan, grow up (ot8 version), 19, pretty much any of the mixtapes, and alien by Han. Alien especially made me start absolutely sobbing and I listened to grow up so much that I was in the top 2% of Spotify listeners lol

[@seochangbinsarms]

Also for the comparison thing, I don’t see why it’s an issue if it’s a POSITIVE comparison. Many people have issues with comparisons to Bts bc a lot of those comparisons tend to be negative. But ur very obviously using it in a positive way so I see no issue

[@cactus853]

Looking forward to your journey with the deeper skz songs :'D I recommend jisung's Alien, a very emotional one that will also make you get into the emotional side of jisung and maybe you'll get the full 3racha skzoo with that haha

[@bluelix-]

Loved your reaction! Im a Stay, I feel very happy that our 🐷🐰 got to you too. 😭😭😭😭I cried with you. But The smoke alarm!!! Please change the batteries girl.

[@christenw.1726]

Deep end is emotional for me.

[@justo_olookin858]

this song still makes me cry til today.. it hits so hard.. thus, when a friend of mine was going through the same thing, i send her the link and said that she should definitely listen to this, coz this song is made for her a..she thank me later for it.

[@hannaijas-hyvarinen4141]

Skz Deep songs: never ending story, winter falls❤❤❤
