Wayo

"**Wayo**" (왜요; stylized in all caps) is the first solo digital single by Bang Ye Dam of TREASURE. It was released on June 5, 2020.

## Background

On May 21, YG Entertainment officially announced that Bang Ye Dam’s solo single will be released in June through a fan announcement. YG explained, “We’ve been preparing Bang Ye Dam’s solo music before TREASURE was formed” and added, “We’ve decided that it would be a good decision to release a song that was completed in June, prior to TREASURE’s debut, as a surprise gift for the fans”.

On May 27, the first promotional photo for the song was revealed through YG Entertainment's social networks. In the photo, Yedam presented sentimental vibes. Him staring at somewhere with an expressionless face passed on lonely emotions to the viewers, raising curiosities on the song.

On May 28, it was announced that the single would be called "Wayo" along with a second promotional photo posted on YG Entertainment's social networks.

On June 1, an interview was released through the group's official YouTube channel with artists such as Rosé from BLACKPINK, Somi, Zion.T and I.N from Stray Kids where they gave their opinion on the song and revealed some spoilers.

## Hangul

내 시계는 멀쩡한데 시간은 멈춰있고
뭐 하나 되는 게 없네 내 모습이 우스워
하염없이 키웠던 둘만의 세상에선
덩그러니 나 혼자 여기 남겨져 있어

저 하늘에게 난 물어보고 싶어 yeah
사랑한단 말은 어떤 의미였어
내 세상에서 없는 건 너뿐인데
다 잃은 것처럼 느껴져
이런 나에게, 도대체

왜요 왜요 왜요
너 없인 왜 나는 안되나요
도대체 왜요 왜요 왜요
Just tell me 너 아님 안되나요

열두 시 넘어서 다음 날이 되면
조금 멀어져 있을까
Yeah 숨을 참고 너란
호흡기를 떼면
견뎌낼 수 있을까 oh baby

저 하늘에게 난 물어보고 싶어 yeah
사랑한단 말은 어떤 의미였어
내 세상에서 없는 건 너뿐인데
다 잃은 것처럼 느껴져
이런 나에게, 도대체

왜요 왜요 왜요
너 없인 왜 나는 안되나요
도대체 왜요 왜요 왜요
Just tell me 너 아님 안되나요
(왜 우린 안되나요)

내 곁에 있어 줄 수 없니
(Just stay with me)
말없이 너를 잊고 기다린다면
(운명처럼)
다시 만날 수 있겠니
고개라도 answer me
거짓이라도 answer me answer me

왜요 왜요 왜요
너 없인 왜 나는 안되나요
도대체 왜요 왜요 왜요
Just tell me 너 아님 안되나요
왜 우린 안되나요

Bye goodbye bye
Bye goodbye bye
왜 우린 안되나요
Bye goodbye bye
Bye goodbye bye

## English

The minutes are ticking away and I'm stuck here all alone
Girl, are you really doing ok, I'm a mess now that you're gone
Never thought we'd grow apart, always swore we'd live as one
Dreaming of a better day but without you what's the point

Keep trying to tell myself that we're both better off
I'm glad you're gone, what's the point of leading me on
No use in wasting time, we were wrong from the start
But who am I fooling, I'm missing you
Oh, I'm just sitting here, asking

Wayo Wayo Wayo
Why not me, what is it you're searching for
My baby Wayo Wayo Wayo
Can't you see, guess love is blind 'cause you don't

I keep on checking the time like it matters
but the bleeding inside won't stop
Yeah you're still breaking my heart
as long as you're not here
There's no reason in my life oh baby

It's hard to say goodbye when you don't have a choice
I'm trying to say I still love you, baby come home
Just trying to keep it together here on my own
But who am I fooling, I'm missing you
Just staring at the sky asking

Wayo Wayo Wayo
Why not me, what is it you're searching for
My baby Wayo Wayo Wayo
Can't you see, guess love is blind 'cause you don't
(Tell me why, what's going on)

Wish I could read your mind, if only...
(If I could)
Would it say that you miss me too or that you're done
(Where you at, babe)
Send a sign that you still love me
Say that you do, answer me
Give me anything, answer me, answer me, yes

Wayo Wayo Wayo
Why not me, what is it you're searching for
My baby Wayo Wayo Wayo
Can't you see, guess love is blind 'cause you don't
(Tell me why, what's going on)

Bye, goodbye, bye
Bye, goodbye, bye
Tell me why, what's going on
Bye, goodbye, bye
Bye, goodbye, bye
