About Smile Flower : Woozi wrote and composed it to express his feelings towards the members and how, despite (or maybe because of) how happy he was, he sometimes got scared that the happiness wouldn't last, that they would one day separate on bad terms etc... The lyrics are basically saying that no matter what happens in the future, he hopes thoughts of each other will still bring them happiness. When the other members first listened to the song, they all loved it, decided it should be on their album (Going Seventeen) and to extend the meaning of the song to include Carats as well. So now, it's like Seventeen telling us that, even if we distance ourselves from them or stop being their fans at some point, they hope the memories we made while stanning them will still make us smile 😭
The Holiday MV was an excuse for Wonwoo to get everyone else to do the dance but not having to do it fully himself lol It's one of my favourite songs of theirs by a long shot. Everything about it is just magical and perfect. And the way Wonwoo directed this MV and chose to highlight how close the members are just shows me how precious their bond is, and why they make me so happy.
Smile flower is such a precious song to Carats and Seventeen, i would also suggest listening to Carats sing this to Seventeen as a surprise during a concert.
I got emotional every time I watch Smile Flower ㅠㅠ It’s just a meaningful song for both Seventeen and Carat. I still remember how Woozi cried when they sang the song in Caratland
ODIHTD! Also known as the song of self plagarization! A lot of the choreography from ODIHTD is actually sampled / snips of different Seventeen choreographies throughout their career and it’s really cool when you see them side by side!
I did a very rough translation of what they said at the beginning of Smile Flower bc it really helps set up the vibe of the video (i am not fluent so pls let me know of any blatant inaccuracies) Hoshi: I really wanted to try doing a sad song Mingyu: Even tho I'm from the hip hop unit, every member is singing in this song. Instead of a boyish concept, we're going for more mature vibes. Vernon: even tho we fall, even tho we're sad, our smiles can bloom together Woozi: (cant translate the complexity of his thoughts properly so I apologize) We have really great relationships, you know. we're happy right now, it's good right now. But sometimes I think about what if we can't achieve some things. Thinking about that and sometimes failing, or even if we can't be together, let's be happy no matter what and let our smiles bloom still, that's the meaning of this song.
Holiday is very reminiscent of their special mv for Healing, both make my heart so happy 🥺 Also every time I hear Smile Flower, tears fall without fail. When I heard it live at their concert last year and got to sing along with other Carats, I cried so much. It's a beautiful song with deep, meaningful lyrics~
We must admit, that we genuinely love these 13 boys. Without any expectation from them, but still they manage to give us happiness. We are a spoil fandom💖
Smile Flower was written by Woozi as a way to express how he felt about the other members because he isn't one to show his feelings or emotions usually and he wanted to let the other members know his love for them. The song while originally meant for the members took on a new meaning as a connection to the Carats. The meaning in the song I'd that no matter where the road may lead in the future I hope we will forever be together as a family even if we are in different places.
For Smile Flower, I really recommend you find and react to the English subbed version of the video - there's a really good fansub somewhere on RU-vid and should come up as one of the first searches. It makes me tear up every time cause the lyrics impact you so hard with the music. It's just a direct hit in the feels.
I know the video quality is kinda off but I hope you can check this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q-5QbVQYoLs.html on your own convenient time 💪💪💪
I really really love your reactions to svt bcs everything was definitely so genuine~ And Smile Flower really is a very special song for SVT and Carats. It never failed to make us all teary eyed. I suggest you watch when the Carats surprised svt on Caratland. It really is heartwarming.
We have the same favorite part in ODIHTD! I really love Vernon's rap flow there. I always listen to it when I start to get really anxious. It calms me down.
You should try and rewatch the dance practice of ODHTD while reading the lyrics. Basically all the moves they use in that choreo are a visual representation of the lyrics, it's almost like sign language (which they do actually use at one point in this choreo btw)
Thank you for a wonderful reaction as always! May i request you to react to LUCY? its a 4man band debuted last may theyre korean band formed in a show they have new song Jogging. They are just new and super underrated and i want everyone to notice them because they are talented ❤❤
