Change

"**Change**" is the third track in (G)I-DLE's fifth mini album, *I love*. It was released on October 17, 2022.

## Description

Things take a turn for the dark with “Change”. This is where Minnie and Yuqi’s contributions start to appear, deviating from the brashness that is Soyeon’s signature into something more vulnerable. I Love shifts from (G)I-DLE being in control to being at the mercy of their own emotions, driven to desperate actions out of a need to be loved.

“Change” is the album standout, acting as the dark mirror of “Love”. Here, the reality of fame has set in–that it doesn’t mean much, and it will not last. The pre-chorus is devastating– a Yuqi and Miyeon tag-team, using their lower registers to add a haunting quality as they admit that fame and fans are not enough to sustain someone emotionally. This is compounded by the sharp knowledge that nothing lasts forever, and one day even this love will be gone. Paired with an aggressive beat, the quiet and quick delivery creates an air that is melancholy and terror-stricken. Caught up in the fears of it ending and having no one there anymore, (G)I-DLE are no longer able to enjoy their success.

Wanna live my life like yesterday
Never feeling do-o-own
Never feeling do-o-o-own

Woke up in another new day
Something has changed, don't feel the same
Alone hearing voices in my head
Thought that I had it all but it feels like nobody cares, nobody ca-ares
Yeah, in a Tiffany dress, get off from 화이트 벤 (Uh)
Walk the red carpet, 밝게 터지는 flash (Yeah)
모든 세상의 관심 수많은 fans (Huh)
그래 사랑에 배가 부른 거지
매일 꿈꾸던 삶이야
그리고 꿈이 없어진 삶이야
대체 얼마나 대단한 걸 더 가져야
행복할까 궁금한 밤이야

Love and fame, it seems to be enough
When the truth is not that beautiful
Tears and pain are things I’ve never shown
No one knows, no one knows, no one knows
They think I'm okay, think I'm okay, ayy

Wanna live my life like yesterday
Never feeling do-o-own
Never feeling do-o-o-own
In the clouds, just stay there every day
Never coming do-o-own
Never coming do-o-o-own

Life has ups and downs, just realized
Nothing lasts forever, yeah
One day if I fall, would you smile
And say you’ll be there for me

I've been lying awake these days
Can't get away, everyone cha-anges
Every time you smile, don't you pretend
Ask myself every night and realize things won't be the same, won't be the sa-ame

Love and fame, it seems to be enough
When the truth is not that beautiful
Tears and pain are things I've never shown
No one knows, no one knows, no one knows
That I'm not okay, I’m not okay, ayy

Wanna live my life like yesterday
Never feeling do-o-own
Never feeling do-o-o-own
In the clouds, just stay there every day
Never coming do-o-own
Never coming do-o-o-own

Life has ups and downs, it’s alright
Nothing lasts forever, yeah
One day I will fall, can't deny
But I know you won’t leave

Wanna live my life like yesterday
Never feeling do-o-own
Never feeling do-o-o-own
In the clouds, just stay there every day
Never coming do-o-own
Never coming do-o-o-own

The interest of the whole world, countless fans (Huh)
Yes, I received too much love
It’s a life I’ve been dreaming for
And it’s a life where my dreams disappeared
How big of a thing I should gain…
…to be happy? I wonder tonight
