Everyday (What happens after GOT7’s Confession Song?)

Everyday - GOT7


THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING!! GOT7 is preparing us for the best time of the year with “Confession Song” and two more songs on the Winter edition of “MAD.” “Confession Song” is super cute, describing the process of telling a crush your feelings. The song has bells jingling in the background and an occasional piano phrase paying homage to Christmas. It makes you want to confess to your crush this holiday season, doesn’t it?

But what about the other days of the year? What about everyday? 

GOT7’s got you covered! 

I listened to “Everyday” right after “Confession Song.” I thought it was a followup to “Confession Song” because of the sequence and the similar background music. It’s even the second track on the album right after the promotion song. I was thinking that “Confession Song” established the feelings between the two parties, making them clear, then the guy can love the girl everyday. 

Upon my first listen, I would not have known it was a song meant to be on a winter edition album. The bells in the background sort of hint at a Christmas theme. Though, it made me think more of “Till There Was You” by the Beatles. I was reminiscent of the opening of the song, “There were bells on a hill, but I never heard them ringing… I never head them at all till there was you.” The bells also gave me a bubbly feelings, so this song had to be about falling in love. 

Since the title was “Everyday,” the song had to express falling in love everyday and doing it all over again each time. Like I mentioned earlier, I got a bubbly feelings from the song. I recalled the feelings I get when my crush (more like my bias) does something cute or when my OTP finally gets together in a drama. I smile all day and and think back to the memory. I also thought of young love during my initial listen since I associate bubbliness with falling in love for the first time. On the other hand, the song also had some snaps or claps. This made me think that the song was praising the feeling of being in love and also the girl as his love. 

I had to check if my interpretation of song with listening alone was right because I was very wrong about VIXX’s “Stop It Girl.” 

From my interpretation of the English lyrics, the two were friends first. She is his best friend and the most important person in his life too. I would like to think that he was slowly falling in love. He was slow to realize the meaning she had in his life. He has now come to realize that he is so lucky to have and be around her. He doesn’t deserve a girl like her. (Isn’t that the cutest love story?) 

I could tell that this girl is very kind towards him because she’s even there when he’s crippled or hurt. This girl is the reason for him to go on in life, and the thought of her gives this guy strength. Since he’s very lucky to have her, he will return the favor (for lack of a better phrase) and promise his loyalty to his love. 

The lyrics doesn’t say if they are actually together, but I really think they are. This has to be a song about best friends turned lovers. 

I really like this song. I might like it more than the “Confession Song” one. Though I might be biased because this is sort of an illustration of how I want my future husband to think of me. 

Please give this song a listen and let us know what you think! Please also let us know what you think of the English translation too!

The Perfect Confession Song (GOT7 Review)

Confession Song - GOT7 Review


OMG GOT7 IS BACK WITH THE CUTEST SONG EVER JUST IN TIME FOR THE CHRISTMAS SEASON! To tell you the truth I was so excited for this repackaged album that I kept listening/watching their teasers over and over again and once the MV released, I was very excited and I knew that GOT7 does not disappoint! Everyone can probably guess what this song is about just by looking at the title. This song is about having the courage to finally confess to someone he/she really cares about. With the help of GOT7, they were able to help high school students confess to the people they had crushes on for awhile, but did not build enough courage to tell him/her. I really thought that this concept was very cute for GOT7 and they were very successful to break the awkwardness between the couples. I absolutely loved the whole concept, with the reindeer and bear heads and of course the whole Christmas feel (just because I am in LOVE with the Christmas season). 


As usual, GOT7’s vocals and rappers are on point! BamBam surprises me all the time, he is either a vocal or a rapper, either way he does a very good job in all their songs. Omg, the chorus though … doesn’t it just sound like angels from heaven!? Actually the whole song sound like angels from heaven just because everything about this whole song is PERFECT! The lyrics are just so adorable (even though it might be a little cringe-y to some people), but its just so cute and it makes me so happy! hahaha Words cannot explain how much I love this song, its just to great and I am so proud of GOT7! This year is most definitely their year because they released 3 albums all with amazing songs. I really hope they have the chance to perform this song because I am curious on how they would dance to this song. If they don’t have any choreo, its okay they will still look good standing in front of mics and singing. 

Overall, this song is just amazing! From the concept to the lyrics, this song is pure perfection, which I can’t stop stressing haha. They looked like they enjoyed planning this whole thing and I think they also took a part in writing the lyrics in their album, which includes 3 new songs! So if you haven’t already, go check out GOT7’s MV for “Confession Song” and listen to their other songs included in the album! Let us know what you think about the song and if you loved the concept as much as we did! hahaha Don’t forget to show your support for them by buying their album on iTunes or the physical album (they have 2 versions so just buy both)! Congratulations to GOT7 for another successful album release!
