Nobody: Litterly nobody: Stays: crying in the first second that the song starts..

Even if you can't understand the lyrics, his voice can already tell the sadness in it-

*Bang Chan* Chan. The boy who did this all by himself. The boy who trained for 7 years and watched his friends debut without him but never once got discouraged enough to the point of giving up. The boy who found 8 other talented stars and brought them all together in one inextinguishable bond of brotherhood. The boy who sacrifices countless nights of sleep to work on a new song or new lyrics. The boy who may be a tough leader on some occasions but only means well. The boy who may sometimes lose confidence with himself as a leader and a friend because he has to juggle so much but is loved wholeheartedly by his members and fans. How many idols get to say “I made it” when they debut and literally. mean. that they. personally. MADE THEIR GROUP?? Chan may have played a huge part in the Stray Kids name, their logo, and their songs but the crux of the matter is that he CHOSE his members. And I don’t mean just that he picked them and made them into a group, I mean that he chose THEM, specifically, over everything else: over sleep, over his own recognition. He’s constantly hyping up his members - this is the man who BAWLED when Minho and Felix were eliminated, who simply took responsibility and wanted forgiveness when they returned, who is just constantly in the corner squealing and hugging himself while shooting fond heart eyes at his members and encouraging them 24/7. Even before they’ve debuted Chan has made sure to establish an incredible bond with his members and convince them beyond a doubt that they, specifically, have been chosen BY HIM. Stray Kids are gonna be huge, mark my words - they’re already amazingly successful as it is, even before they’ve debuted. But I’d argue that they’ve already made it because of Bang Chan being the cohesiveness, chemistry, and bond of their group, something many groups don’t develop for years and that will give them the power to really just barrel through the industry like a damn friendship freight train. !!

Bangchan we need more solo.Your voice is breathe taking

Chan: "song for broken hearts" me: crying

I don't know why Chan is embarrassed about this but he need to know *_THIS IS BEAUTIFUL_* and *_HIS VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL_* .

Bang Chan's voice + sad lyrics = best song ever

Love how most of the comments here are very long and encouraging. Stray kids songs have changed the way STAY listen to music. We read the lyrics more, we try to understand the message and emotions in the song more, we’re brave enough to share our thoughts and personal story and feelings, and we encourage each other that we are not alone, we also facing or feeling the same thing. Thank you Stray Kids for creating this beautiful family called STAY.

The fact that Chan deserves the world, but the world doesn't deserve Chan.

crying here after chan's room "I will die for stays. I will die for stray kids, that's for sure" "I will sacrifice everything for stray kids" please i will do everything for them TT

I think we feel touched by Chan because he is relatable. He's genuine and open and compassionate. He feels touched by stay, so we feel touched by him.

To Chan, To Chan who always put other people before him, to Chan who always wants the best for other people, to Chan who always put a smile to Stays faces, to Chan who has always been a great leader for Stray Kids, to Chan who always radiates his loving energy to everyone around him, to Chan who is always there for other SKZ members and also Stays, to Chan who always put a smile in front of Stays even when he is sad, to Chan who always comfort other people by sharing his love and heartwarming advice, to Chan who has helped many Stays out there by doing the thing he is most talented in (making music), to Chan who restlessly trained for 7 years to be at the spot he is in today, to Chan who has done his best of taking care of all SKZ members from day one, to Chan who had almost no sleep at all in the whole week, to Chan who is so hardworking just to give his best to all Stays, to Chan who meant so much to Stays, to the best most responsible loving heartwarming caring leader and fighter Bang Chan, If you are reading this, I just want you to know that you are doing great. Thank you for everything that you have done to people around you. I’m hoping that you will always be happy. Though there were many hardships in the past, you have always done your best to cheer thing up even when you are also in pain inside. Thank you for continuously making music just for Stays, I’m sorry that we Stays can’t do anything else to comfort you when you are sad or in the times when you can’t fall asleep at night because of insomnia. Whatever you do, Stays will always be with you no matter what. If you think you are not doing well enough, think about how many people you might have helped by doing the thing you have always been really good at (and that is music). How many people managed to put a smile because of you? How many people continued to stay strong and learned to be a fighter because of you? I don’t really know how to put this, but Chan, you have helped so so so so so many Stays out there and we can’t thank you enough for that. You deserve the whole world :’). Thank you for being here with us and please, be happy, eat well, sleep well, (there’s to much wishes and I can’t say it. I should have learned more English words I’m out of vocabs). And lastly, thank you to our BEST LEADER BANG CHRISTOPHER CHAN.

bang chan is truly one of a kind. He’s seriously is so pure of heart and honest with us and we should never take that for granted. He’s not just a kpop idol, he’s come to mean so much to me to be just that. He’s a best friend someone i can count on to be there for me. A reassurance that everything in life is going to be ok. Someone u can look up to and relate too. he’s my home. thank u chan for everything ur really special to me :(

The most remarkable thing about this song is that single piano key that played all throughout like a beating heart surrendering to pain and regret. Bang Chan is a real musical genius. He says he wants to be perfect, he doesn't know his authenticity and vulnerability already make him so. Not flawless, but perfect.

2025년에 여기 누가 있을 것인가

The fact that many stays can relate to this. Like losing a friend, a relationship, a friendship. It's very emotional to know that this does happen in life and knowing the feeling of being heartbroken to move on. In my opinion, I find this line very detailed. It has a huge meaning behind it. "How can I forget, the day you lied to me." Remembering those memories of someone precious to you. You guys might have said "I promise to always stay with you. I won't leave you.", but promises are meant to be broken. That's the worse part. when you promise and break it, it's a lie. wow, chan is just an amazing leader and never fails to make our stays and his members loved. Thank you chan. Always working hard for us.

It 's better to let go to someone who's not willing to stay. Even if its hurt so much.

As a Stay, I was crying during the song. He deserve more, he's the best leader I have ever known. He deserve everyone's love in this world. Stay, we didn't deserve him, he's just so perfect in everything. He's really great in rap, dance,vocal,visual,everything. Chan, if you seeing this, I jus want to say that you did a great job, keep up the effort. Just be you, don't be shy to show your talent. Because I know that Stay will always be with you whatever happen. WE LOVE YOU CHAN, URI BEST LEADER

It has been four years since you decided to bless us with your beautiful vocals. Thank you Bang Chan.

He doesn't deserve the hate. He got trained for 7 years to be called the 'best leader'. While everyone was sleeping, in the night, chan is always up. He worked really hard. When we(stay) are sad he not only he but all of them cheer us up. But when they're sad we don't know if we can do the same. They always help us, and try to cheer us up! Im sure Chan will always be the best leader! This is what he got for all those years of training! Everyone that hates him must read the lyrics.

We don't know what he is going through, he will never tell us and that's why we need to be careful with words, what we tell online because even if we don't think it, our words might hurt him. He's done so much for us, Stays, the LEAST we can do is to respect him and his beautiful heart. I want to protect him by all cost, listening to this song makes me wonder how much he has to suffer just to make us happy. Bangchan, Stays love you and will always be here for you.

My son is a fan of stray kids and he always pushes me to listen Stray Kids' songs. And just now i just saw a notification that they released this song and listened to it. My son is at the hospital right now and he cant use his cellphone. He has a chronic disease and for every 3 months we let him stay there for a month to do some tests and let him rest. But now, he got admitted very early (1 month since he got discharged). He's very broken he said because next month is the comeback of stray kids and he cant even support his idols. I was so excited to let him listen to this earlier but he just cried while listening to it. I dont know why. But he said "I will never stop supporting you" and he sobbed even harder after listening to it. Please send him lots of prayers. He still needs to meet his idols who helped him so much. It hurts me so bad to see him like this. This song moves us so much. Thank you Stray Kids for making beautiful songs. My son will always support you and will always be proud of you. He loves you so much.

He is the kpop idol who deserves the most appreciation,hes tried so hard helping all the other members,such as felix when he first didnt get in,chan was always trying and putting others first,hes a true soul and deserves to be praised- stay

I just hope whenever Chan is down, he'll look at the comments right here and be consoled. I hope he sees how much he is loved worldwide. I hope he sees how thankful we are to him. I just wanna hug him and tell him he's doing such an amazing job. That whenever he feels like breaking down he can lean on us. Chan, we love you wholeheartedly.

What hurts is Chan can’t tell us directly that’s he’s hurt that he’s in pain. Luckily he can use music to express it.

I love how Chan's voice sounds in this song. So soft and gentle and then so powerful. It really carries the emotions well and expresses the pain so well; it's a masterpiece! #MakeBangChanHappyDay

He’s one of the best vocalists of the 4th generation. Not only a vocalist but an allrounder

I hope Chan will be more confident on his vocal because he's vocals are so good. Honestly, Chan musical abilities are really way up there.

knowing that chan thinks he is not good enough breaks my heart because he's everything we can ask for and even more, he's such an amazing leader, an amazing artist and most important he's an amazing person, the more i get to know him the more I'm impressed and inspired by him, just want to hold his hands and tell him he's doing a great job and he can rest here, he can stay here, with STAY. We are a great family, let's keep it like that

2025년도에 들어도 좋다.. 찬아 언제나 응원할게 그러니 지금처럼 항상 웃는 일만 가득하길 바랄게 너의 곁엔 수 많은 스테이들이 있어 사랑해 🤍

Stays after listening to this song: -Cries(well that's the first thing we did lol.) -Just wants to hug Chan and the rest of the members telling them that it's gonna be alright as time passes. -Continues to cry.

B-Best Leader A-Amazing N-Noble G-Great Person C-Caring H-Helpful A-Accepting N-Nice

*Maybe the reason why this is only a lyrics version is the moment he'll sing this live: we'll start having breakdowns smh*

음색 끝판왕이다 진짜.. 방찬 노래 더 해줘요😢

This man could literally run all of K-pop, with just himself and a piano….

i seriously think chan is a special person, he inspires everyone so much, he make us feel that we have someone, he is really making a better world and helping thousands of people, i hope he can also be happy and know that we are going to be with him no matter what, i just feel so lucky thank you for everything chan

I feel bad that I can't protect him. he doesn't deserve this pain.

Your voice is a quiet gravity, pulling hearts into a place of comfort. You never ask for praise, but you deserve it more than anyone ❤️

let’s admit it, even if you’ve never been heartbroken, listening to this song makes you feel heartbroken edit : guys I just came back to this comment,, thank you so much for the likes 🥺 I love you all & you are all amazing & im so proud of each one of you, hugs & kithes ‼️

This guy is more than just an idol for me, he's like a bestfriend

Chan just touches people's hearts. So many comments under this video and so many long comments, sharing their own struggles or love and gratitude towards Chan and Stray Kids too! Thank you Chan for creating a space for us where we can share our worries and get encouragement, whether from Chan or fellow Stays, whether on vlive or here on KZbin. Thanks a lot. Let Stays all continue to be a loving support for other fellow Stays as well as for Stray Kids the boys too!

You can hear the pain in his voice weather passive or loud, this song has so much emotion in it that normally people would not be able to see

I am speechless, crying and proud. This is a masterpiece, no joking. He did a beautiful work. A proof that the language doesn’t matters, because Bang Chan’s talent and love for what he does is bigger than that. I can’t can even explain how I feel right know. He is so humble, talented, pure, kind, brave, strong. I mean, Chan is everything. He is totally a role model. And Chan, we always gonna be by your side

It breaks my heart while Chan expresses his raw emotions with this song, he deserves the whole world. Period.

I feel so blessed that he always challenges himself to be better than before. If not, I won't get this beautiful and soulful and emotional vocalist Bangchan. This song and composition are so good, it's pleasing and weirdly shoothing even tho the meaning is hurtful. Always and always respect him. I'm blessed to witness you in this life, Chan.

It was one of the most valuable and unforgettable songs for me🩵

lyrics : by bang chan composed : by bang chan arranged : by bang chan high note : by bang chan DAMN THIS MAN IS TOO PERFECT FOR US:")

you can cry with this song, you can sleep with this song and you can fall asleep with this song while crying.

I wanna protect this man seriously, even tho I'm like in the other side of the world very far from him. I just want to hug him through his hard times and say "It's alright, we'll eventually make our way through this." and say he's the best leader in the whole world. I wanna say the biggest thank you to him and Stray Kids for making us stays, stay. And how they gave us a big impact in our lives and how they protect us in their own ways. We don't deserve him or SKZ. They deserve more greater things. I just love them so much. Thank you stays for making Stray Kids stay💖

This deserves more views. Like why not. It's super super beautiful. Stays let's not forget this masterpiece ❤❤❤

We really don't deserve him. He's the best leader and friend Stray Kids could get, and the bestest of the bests people out there. Chan is not just super talented, an amazing vocalist, dancer AND composer, he also is such a kind person, so selfless and loving... He is an angel. I just want to hug him tightly and say thank you, because me, and every Stay out there, is grateful with this wonderful man and everything he has created. Thank you, Chan, you have made Stay stay.

any member of skz: me: *talented, amazing, beautiful, never done before, show-stopping, breath taking, wonderful, ethereal-*

This song broke my heart man. Here's the thing though, the song isn't necessarily about a romantic relationship, it reminded me of a completely different relationship I had in my life and THAT'S what hits hard, Chan outdid himself on this one.

This is such a powerful song that has STAY's jaws dropping of grief. Memories flood my brain when I listen to these lively lyrics. His vocals is like the moon and the stars colliding at night. It makes me so sad knowing than Chan will never understand how much of a saviour he is, and in return, the amount of people who would put up a fight to protect this man. He deserves much more than he gets. And if this man doesn't start loving himself like he should, I won't either. We love them all, and it wasn't his fault that Woojin left. We love you Channie and remember that. Big hug!

the fact that this song is not on spotify hurts me on a personal level

it makes me feel so sad that some people don't know stray kids to be honest. stray kids deserve more recognition and deserve to be known worldwide. they're such an amazing group with an amazing leader. chan really is doing his best from the start. imagine watching your friends debut without you or before you? that must be hard to watch, but chan being the guy he is, he never gave up. then he found those 8 boys who became his family, brothers and team all at the same time. stray kids is a one great team and family. i hope they know how many people they make happy and inspired. stray kids will get the recognition and love they deserve, trust me. all of their hardwork will pay off. stays, let's continue supporting stray kids and walk on this journey together. - a stay since before debut

“just stay with me.” until the end of time, chan. we will stay.

There is nothing in the world as beautiful and heartbreaking as this. Only a genius can penetrate the very soul with his voice while playing one note on the piano.

bang chan, who left Australia at a young age to pursue his dreams. a little boy who saw all his friends debuting. someone who practiced day and night, for 7 years long. But see where he is now; an amazing leader of 7 amazing boys. an incredible composer, producer. writing some of the most beautiful lyrics. someone who always talks to STAYs, supporting them, loving them. And to chan: We love you too, we support you too. Thank you for making such a masterpiece (once again)!!

"The day you lied to meeeeeee” When he sings this part it hurts for real like his voice hits hard Chan you always say you and stray kids will show us a better side of you but through skz player and skz record you guys show us not the better but the best side of yours. You guys are showing us true feeling of yours and hope you guys continue to show us in the future like this Thank you guys you’re the best.

WAIT HE REALLY JUST TEASED US LIKE 1 DAY BEFORE THIS CAME OUT THE CLOWNERY

I have no words... just tears and overflowing emotions

Whenever i listen to This song First: Goosebumps Second: starts crying Third: Realizing how much I love Bang Chan andstray kids

This breaks my heart. When Chan is belting out the chorus it feels like he is belting out all his emotions. Someone really broke is heart. I just could feel the pain in his voice & the lyrcs. The song itself is a masterpiece, but i really want to know who ever would hurt someone like Chan this much. Chan is so amazing, i just really don't know how and why you would do something like that to someone like Chan. If i had someone like Chan in my life, i literally would give the world to him and would do everything to make him happy. I would do everything to see his wonderful smile. I would do everything to protect him. I just really don't understand why. Why can't you just appericeate someone so amazing. He is wonderful. He is the most kind, most soft and most heartful Person on this earth. It breaks my heart so much to see how broken he is, because i know that he doesn't deserve that. I cried so hard listening to this. This man deserves the world...

If this is not a masterpiece then masterpiece don't exist.

Ouvir essa musica realmente me deixa extremamente emocionada....

I'm so broken because of the fact that I can't protect Chan from all these hardships, sad feelings and just cover him with the softest blanket. Stays know how hard you work, how much thoughts and feelings you put in everything - that shows in every piece you create. He is not only talented and hardworking but also the most caring and loving human being I know, just how much he adores SKZ members, his family, friends and Stay. If somebody deserves to be called Best Leader, it's definitely Bang Chan. He truly deserves the world. I can't do enough for him in return but I'll never leave Stray Kids side for sure.

so, he said on his vlive "the song is still not finished" and now we have this masterpiece...okay, we see, Bangchan

I’m not a stay, but bang Chan seems so insecure about himself and his talent it upsets me everytime I see him talking negatively about himself, I love this man pls stays show him your love more Edit : I’m a stay now, and Chan is my bias🥰

1:30 this is why music is called as universal language.. even we dont understand korean hope this touched everyone 's hearts.. I ended with crying 😢

If Chan ever thinks that his voice doesn't sound good, he should also remember that there are many people who keep this song on loop just to listen to his melodic voice

I really can't believe I'm hearing Stray Kids' voices for free

I don't want to see him sad, because he is te Best human in the World, he deserves everything, but the good things not bad things, the song is sad... And here is the sad reality

이 노래는 얼마나 아름다운지 말로 다 표현할 수 없는 명곡입니다. ❤

you know what is the worst? that I, we-stays, can't hug him, just a little hug, but with strong power. so, Chan if you are reading this, remember you are the best leader, we are always behind you!!):

His a lead vocalist for a reason. Sometimes people tend to forget about his singing capabilities just because he doesnt get the chance to showcase it in their songs. Hell its not that he doesnt want to, he always put his kids first. And thats what makes me fell in love with him. His empathy, his broken feeling, we could sense in his voice. The fact that he could change his tone depending on the song, it was pure talent. He trained hard, worked hard to be here right now. But he is always selfless. I dont know what he is going through but from this song, I bet it was hard from him and as much I want to assume what had happened, I couldn't bcoz honestly it is just plain rude for me to invade his privacy and assume things. I just hope that Chan will recover, and even if it takes time, its okay. Missing someone is a mess, but not being able to talk to him/her about it is worse. Sometimes, things like that happen in life. But its okay, I believe you can do it. You can, and you will get through this. By time you'll be healed. No matter how hard it is. Thank you Chan. For everything. Maybe you wouldn't read this because there too much comments to read, but writing this is the only way for me to communicate with you. I may not be good with words. But I hope you understand what I try to convey. Sincerely, a stay since predebut

Admit it that bangchan is one of the best vocalist in 4th generation.

Its been 4 years and yet... This song makes me feel so comforted and.. my respect and love for you has no boundaries.. the pain.. the feelings.. everything makes this song a huge masterpiece.. you're incredible Chan.. Ethereal.. from thr lyrics to your soothing voice.. We'll always STAY Chris.. as long as forever goes❤️

i hope he knows hes saved so many people from hurting and that he is everything and more to us

who else is tearing up his piano skills is amazing his voice his song writing skills his personality and 'HIM' im officially speechless.

"Even if I'm not your bias, You guys are my bias." ~ Bang Chan 💙

We love you Chris! This song is beautiful and deserves more recognition. ❤

I hate to admit that a human being like chan isn't my future 😔

The vocals. The melody. The piano. The lyrics. The artist. Chan deserves more appreciation for this masterpiece.

The shift from him saying “how could I forget” to the last line “might as well forget” just really resonates with me. This song is pure emotion and even though the lyrics may sound “simple”(for lack of a better word; they may not be metaphors but they do have a different meaning then what is just being said), they have such a deeper meaning for both Chan and all of us listening. Music is indeed a universal language. I am never disappointed when Stray Kids writes music because they stay true to them, just like they said they would. In turn, they help so many people who are struggling and need a sort of outlet. SKZ helps people know they are not alone. This song is going to help so many people. I hope it also helped Chan cope, if you guys get what I mean. Again, this song is able to evoke so many emotions all at once. Chan, Stay is really proud of you ❤️ and to my fellow Stay much love for you all, stay safe 💕💕

he is literally the only thing that gets me up in the morning

Hey Chan, You probably won't see this but I just wanted to tell you that you have saved so many people, even those that you aren't aware of. You show us stays, what it means to love and care for someone unconditionally, through your love for us, and your love for your members. If you want to see proof of your hard work, look how far Stray Kids has come. Yes, we all acknowledge that the members also work incredibly hard to have come as far as they have reached, but a large portion comes from your guidance and your sacrifices that you have given. The fact that you trusted them, the fact that you never gave up on them or on yourself, that is why Stray Kids is loved. For me, Stray Kids was the first ever concert I've ever attended on my own, despite being a k-pop fan since over a decade ago. The reason is simply because, when I told my parents about Stray Kids, the members, their personalities and the music they make, the inspiration that you guys give to us Stays, my parents were touched and instantly said I could go to the concert. At that moment I was so proud to be a Stay, I was able to boast about you guys to all my friend and family, and I was even happier because I knew every word I spoke was the truth. Thank you for saving my life, when I met you and your brothers. Stray Kids make us Stay ❤️

Chan is a perfectionist, knowing him I understand why he feel sad and almost give up after that tragedy. Don't be sad for too long Bang Chan. You deserves to be happy! You've worked so hard like SO HARD. The irregular sleep cycle, constant pack schedule, being mistreated, being sleep on and not to forget being misunderstood as racist and selfish. I will never understand why haters hate on you, you've such a pure soul. You're just trying to do your best in life! Be happy Bang Chan, always!!!! STAY loves you, STAY loves Stray Kids~

Many people in my life ask me “what’s with you and these StrayKids?” Well, they’ve helped me and many other stays. Their music is so raw, it’s something I can relate to and find comfort in. Each of them try their best for their fan base. Their leader is one of the best people in the world that changed me from being a pretty bad person not gonna lie, to a pretty decent person. The list goes on and on, but those are some of the main reasons. I hope they know the influence they have and how much help they provide to so many people. To so many STAYS around the world. They deserve all the love and appreciation they get. 💙

이터니티 듣다가 와봄.. 텀이 4년이라니 거 너무 심한거 아니요😮

The moment when you realise there's no English translation and yet your heart aches like it's all been understood already,sent from heart to heart,a bond we share with this magical boy. Language barrier? It's so broken

listening this while reading the comments really hurts me, in the same time i wanted to cry because of his amazing voice and also because of the comments, their story really hits me. like all of you already know, we stays we will stay and stay together until the end and we will go through this together! mark my words stray kids will be a successful group. be strong everyone! fighting!

I feel like this song, Streetlight by Changbin and Alien by Han all describe some rough times that we all experience in life. We just don’t share with others, so we all think we are alone. Stray Kids is letting us know that we aren’t alone. Ever.

He's really a beautiful vocalist. I want more SKZ just sitting and singing songs like this. I love the bangers and intense dance perofrmances. But I also love this. It's just gorgeous.

Just reading the comments makes me proud and grateful to be a STAY- Chan’s pure and heartfelt emotions pouring out from this song can relate to anyone. STAYS keep up the praise! STAYS, YOU MAKE STRAY KIDS STAY STAYS, you make Stay, STAY

Channie, this song is the best thing I've ever had. Bang Chan touches so many hearts and souls with his beautiful lyrics and sweet but pain-ridden voice. I wish I could take all his hardships away; someone like him deserves the world and then some. I will support him and stray kids till forever. It's sad to see that there's only one of him, but that makes him so, so special. Stays love you Channie.

Gosh, going through these comments... it’s crazy how many people Chan has helped and he doesn’t even know :’) Honestly, the only goal I have for myself, is to be able to tell Chan face to face how he saved my life... how he saved me

I just can't understand how far my love towards Chan will go

chan: "Just stay with me" : We will never ever leave ur side chan, u and stray kids. Since the first day. We've became one. We're a family now. And we will be forever. I love you bangchan, and Stray Kids.The best Leader ❤️
