non-stay : is he a singer or a rapper? stay : he is a changbin

notice how it’s black and white until he gets onto the stage and sings into the microphone. music is his home. Edit: knowing the lyrics too, it’s also like he’s finally able to let out everything he’s been hiding. he suppressed his emotions so much, been a support beam for so many people...and the relief of being able to let his own emotions out through music or just at all is immense. he is a genius and this song did not get the attention it deserved.

During Mufully, they said the rumor was that all JYP staffs who heard this song cried. I guess it is not a rumor after all!!

Changbin, 나는 당신이 가진 모든 것으로 계속 빛나기를 격려하고 싶습니다. 나는 경청할 것입니다. 당신이 나와 동시에 존재한다는 것을 알게 되어 너무 기쁩니다. 그것은 세상의 반대편이지만, 우리가 지구라고 부르는 같은 장소에 있습니다. 당신은 정말 놀랍습니다. 당신의 무대 매너, 랩 실력, 노래하는 목소리, 엔터테인먼트 정신. 당신이 하는 모든 것이 훌륭하게 나옵니다. 새로운 세대를 격려하는 사이드 프로젝트부터 세상이 듣고 감동을 받도록 쓰는 가사까지. 감사합니다!

he doesn’t sing a lot but when he does, it’s the most soothing and calming thing ever.

in all honesty, this song deserves to TREND. there are more broken people out there and no matter the language, i want them to take a little bit of their time to hear this song out.

The blue paint in changbin’s video refers to to the “Blue Tree project”. What is the Blue Tree Project? “Our mission is to help spark difficult conversations and encourage people to speak up when battling mental health concerns. By spreading the paint and spreading the message that ‘it’s OK to not be OK’, we can help break down the stigma that’s still largely attached to mental health” 💙💙

It's a fucking crime that this song is so underrated. At the same time I want to be selfish and gatekeep it because it is so close to my heart that I nearly can't bear to share it with anyone. I visit this often. Thank you for this Changbin, I needed that.

Q : What's the largest ocean in the world ? A : Stays tears after learning the lyrics of this song.

It never crossed my mind that someone like Changbin who always seems so happy could hold such heavy emotions beneath his smiles. At this point, Streetlight isn't just a song. It's a work of art. It's where Changbin let his guards down and appeared vulnerable to thousands of us. It's where he spilled what he truly felt throughout his passing days and opened up to all of us. Along with his powerful rap skills, beautiful vocals and meaningful lyrics, this song is a masterpiece. And today, i want to express this gratitude of mine to him for creating such an amazing piece of song that is Streetlight.

“it hurts to be alone” We will always be there for you Changbin.

i started crying, even i don't know or understand the lyrics. thank u God, and Changbin for this masterpiece

Things that he can do: - he can rap melodically - he can spit fire - he can sing softly - rap fast - produce great music - he can dance - he can wreck our bias list - he can be dark, mean and sometimes crybaby - he can do handstand and pushups all day - he can be the visual - he can cut paper using his jawline Stays, lets support our baby changbin, best boy in the building. If you don’t agree, you can just like

I am so proud of Changbin, he is not afraid of talking about mental health issues, he encourages people to speak about their feelings with the blue tree project and I am so damn happy, we are not going always be able to shine, to be strong and this is saying that is ok to not be ok, we have weaknesses too and we are only humans, thank u Stray Kids for making music not to impress but to express

For those who want to read Changbin’s comment : “Streetlight” is a song that tells the lyrics of a person who laughs and pretends not to speak to others on the crowded hip-hop track without being able to speak to others . I can’t solve it , but just confusing it makes me feel as ease . In fact , before I wrote this song , I couldn’t really tell anyone and sometimes I struggled alone . I hope everyone who listens to this song will find somebody who will listen to you . Hope it helps :) Edit : if there are any stays who would like to talk about something that's bothering them , I'm always here to listen ..

いつも明るくてお茶目なチャンビンが心に秘めている孤独とか苦しみがこの曲を通して痛いほど伝わってきて心がいっぱいになります。曲でもどんな形でもいいからその抱えてるものを少しずつ吐き出してくれたら嬉しいな。어떤 모습도 너무 좋아해요.

Changbin can: -sing ✔ -rap✔ -produce ✔ -write his own songs ✔ -dance✔ He is going to go very far in this music industry, mark my words.

_reasons why i am crying rn_ - *CHANGBIN'S VOICE* - *CHANGBIN'S COMMENT* - *THE LYRICS* - *CHAN'S VOICE* - *PEOPLE STILL SLEEPING ON SKZ TALENTS*

still thinking abt how he released this during mental health awareness month and posted on instagram with “we are not alone” :((((((

노래가 너무 이해되고 슬프다 창빈아 힘내 사랑해 참을만큼 참아보니 무뎌지더라 아직 견딜만해 참아지니까 이 가사 너무 이해된다 근데 진짜 계속 듣고있는데 창빈이 톤이 진짜 근데 창비니 어느때보다 밝게 빛난다

My friend : is he a vocalist or rapper Me : he is changbin a legend

Changbin comment : [Changbin's Comment] "Streetlight" is a song that uncovers the lyrics of a person who pretends to be laughing while not being able to speak to others on a crowded in a hip-hop track. If you have a troubled consultation with someone, the other person can't solve it, but just telling them will make you feel comfortable. In fact, before I even wrote this song, I couldn't really tell anyone, but sometimes I tried to do it myself, but I felt like I was writing it down and recording it, and I felt like I was telling it to someone while listening to this song. I hope you find someone to listen to.

[Changbin's Comment] "Streetlight" is a song that uncovers the lyrics of a person who pretends to be laughing while not being able to speak to others on the crowded hip-hop track, but is sad and sad. If you have a troubled consultation with someone, the other person can't solve it, but just telling them will make you feel comfortable. Actually, before I wrote this song, I couldn't really tell anyone, and I had a hard time alone, but I felt like I was writing it down and recording it, and I felt like I was talking to someone while listening to this song. I hope you find someone to give.

창빈아 힘들 때 이 노래 들으니깐 위로가 많이 되더라 창빈이가 스테이들에게 많은 위로를 주는 만큼 창빈이가 힘들 땐 스테이들이 있다는걸 기억해줬으면 좋겠다 너무 기특한 우리 짱빈아 항상 고마워

seo changbin deserves the world, but the world doesn't deserve an angel like him.

1 year since Changbin dropped Streetlight to tell us that we're never alone. He dropped it on May which is a Mental Health Awareness month. He included the Blue Tree Project where the project encourage people to speak up when facing mental health issue. He cares a lot about us 🥺

And this is why Stray Kids are more than idols... they are true artists who pour their hearts into their work

Idk why is he least member in following??? But from now on he is the only one for me not just his rapping skills but his vocals hits hard too much . Love this man so much right now ❤❤❤

People have to understand that Changbin wrote this song out of his heart and thoughts, Kpop idols are humans too. They feel lonely some times just like everyone else. We can't just see them as robots and just dancing, singing and performing machines. They are humans, they have feelings. I am just glad that Stray Kids write songs about what they feel, it just encourages us that we are not alone and even the "perfect" kpop idols feel this way some times. So we have to appreciate their songs. They bring music to us and it makes us happy, they try to please us as much as they could, now it's time for us to help them feel better. 💖

“it hurts to be alone” it may seem obvious, but it really does.

Changbin isn't just that cool guy that can impress everyone when performing,, he may look cold and dark at first, but we all know deep down inside, he's such a warm, selfless person who cares about others more than himself, he's so kind and precious, he's talented and really passionate about music, he went through so much to be here with us today and should be appreciated more for his hard work,, and I honestly can't thank him enough for giving us such a deep meaningful song, i hope he knows how much he means to us all

Just found this song today. I've been a Stay for 2 months and I love these guys so much! I cried listening to this. The lyrics are so powerful!

I'm not saying Changbin is one of the best all-rounder of the industry but this is exactly what I'm saying

We don't talk about this song often. We need to stop ignoring songs like this which highlight mental issues so that people who are struggling can know that are not alone

창빈이 가사를 왜이렇게 잘쓰냐 ㅜㅜ 지금 내 상황같아서 더 몰입된다..

If anyone tells me “yOu DoNt EvEn KnOw WhAt ThEy ArE sAyInG” ill just show them this video and they can cry with me

after changbin's smtm appearance (no matter how far he goes in the show), i hope this particular track gets the recognition it deserves. im not just talking about his "flow" here, it's the fact that his lyricism is so strong in this one and the message of this song is so important and could help some people that are going through hard times. i hope less people feel alone and hurt after listening to this. thank you changbin, for everything. ♡

Even if he's not your bias, he's your bias.

이 노래는 제 마음을 감동시킵니다. 특별한 사람에게 기댈 수 없거나 의지할 수 없는 감정을 표현하는 숨겨진 의미와 말장난이 정말 아름답다고 생각합니다. 그것은 무거운 짐을 줍니다. 미스터 창빈은 시를 쓰는 작사가로 타인에게 고백하기 위해 애쓰는 우리 모두의 어려운 감정을 표현합니다.

He rap He spoke out of own concern He wrote and composed He showed the emotion *and* most importantly he's CHANGBIN

like a streetlight like a streetlight After the end of a lonely day I’m standing in the air in the middle of a lonely night and try to smile brightly I don’t want to show you, I’m weak and I’m out of shape For those who relied on me, this is a contradiction pretending to be strong and not sick. I just want to be a force for someone You can’t let me take their strength out of you I don’t have the courage to put a question mark on the words “I can expect it.” The pain grows silently trapped in a room without a door to go out I was so tired of being patient I’m still gonna be able to handle it. The band on the wound eventually falls I’ve been on it in a hurry, but it’s not long before I get back on it The rain that builds up on the roof that has been torn down I know so well that I repeat it I need someone. I need someone to get Ask me again, is it okay? Anybody like a streetlight like a streetlight in the middle of a lonely night I just look bright After the end of a lonely day And you’re gonna stand there in the middle of a lonely night and try to smile brightly I can’t rely on anything Choose to rely on myself And now that I’m shaking, I’m Who the hell should I catch? I’m not gonna let you know My shoulder is more drooping than that. I can’t tell you everything I can’t tell you The pain that I can not shake off Blame myself I’m gonna breathe in the murky air I gasp, like I’m going to be out of breath beyond the unpleasantness I don’t care what’s not. Nothing is okay. I don’t see the way around me I feel stingy Will the hidden look be revealed for a moment? I’m afraid! I’m afraid! like a streetlight like a streetlight After the end of a lonely day I’m standing in the air in the middle of a lonely night and try to smile brightly Like that streetlight like a streetlight in the middle of a lonely night I just look bright After the end of a lonely day And you’re gonna stand there in the middle of a lonely night and try to smile brightly like a streetlight like a streetlight in the middle of a lonely night I just look bright After the end of a lonely day And you’re gonna stand there in the middle of a lonely night and try to smile brightly

I don’t understand why such a good song is so underrated? this is arts and people should appreciate. Their musics express what we cannot say it out

This is HAN favourite song of Changbin. The lyrics are so good and Changbin glowed like a lightbulb when HAN complimented him on streetlights. Honestly the lyrics really made me think of hannie because at the time when he was a trainee and had a hard time connecting with people and fighting with everybody.. he really was in a bad state and very lonely. Changbin said that this song wasnt just how he felt but also people around him.. talking about how there was a slump period.. the same year HAN wrote lyrics for slump(2020)... he wrote alien in 2019 and he talked the most with Changbin about his worries.. so yeah. those two def. have something special as a sibling bond. I love this song its close to my heart and it makes me hurt for them.

changbin isn’t just dark: he’s one of the most thoughtful, deep, considerate and selfless people to grace the earth and I’m blessed thay I could exist in a time where he does 🥺💕

One think I realise, Stray Kids has many emotional rapper. I know they are based hip hop group and when the rapper rap, it sound so cool and aggressive but when they do melody rap, it just hit so hard. I can't describe it, but because they wrote the lyrics themselves, that's why their expression is so real. They went through it. They are still young but you got to admit, almost all member are quite sentimental people. I don't really see this kind of kpop group in the industry. Most boy group don't do this kind of concept. Do you guys remember they sang Glow at their survival show, they say Changbin wrote it. They didn't even debut that time but Changbin wrote the song that reach the fan's heart. And when Minho, Felix and Changbin sang it in front of JYP, they look so sad like there's really that sad emotion on their face. They really put their heart when performing. I'm amazed by them. You know what people always say, how else can you write a song if you never experience it. I wish Stray Kids the best. Love them !

I feel like I’ve discovered a new side of Changbin, you could literally feel the emotions he’s trying to portray through this song and the m/v even without having to look at the lyrics but when you understand the lyrics it all just becomes a new experience. Like wow-

Never heard a more Relatable song. Thank you Changbin for this masterpiece. As a person who's struggling with mental health issues, I don't know how to express my pain in words but this song really said it all

changbin "it hurts to be alone" stays "you're not alone, we here for you (stays)"

stray kids really aren't afraid to talk about serious issues in their songs and I am here for it

Changbin was born to rap, he has that thing in his voice, his lyrics, through his eyes. I can just be proud of him doing what he wants and what he loves.

this song never fails to make me cry

i hate that not many people knows this song. this song conveys such an important message that i wish the world would pay attention to but i feel like only majority of stays are aware of this song and he's just shouting alone. man it kinda hurts.

He put all his thought and feelings intro this. Changbin “it hurts to be alone” If you feel alone it’s alright. He can’t express his emotions except for being happy. He likes to make other happy and in the end makes him feel alone because everyone sees his bright side but not his hurt cold side. He is still trying to figure out what his feelings are. People can feel alone weather with fans or not. I would mention an example, but I don’t want to be that person that brings up another group or anything. He is still trying to figure out if he can express him emotions or not. Like his sadness and pain. He believes he needs to be happy for us, but that shouldn’t be like that. He needs to know we will love and support him even if he shows us his hurt side . We will always support him weather he does or doesn’t. That’s what I think and if you read this all. Thank you!

“it hurts to be alone” I FELT THAT. EVERYONE FELT THAT.

I wish I heard this song when it first came out instead of now after discovering it on 2 kids show. I love it. It's so beautiful, the melody, the rap, the lyrics, the voices themselves, the video and the metaphors, I love it all

Changbin's song last line: "IT HURTS TO BE ALONE" Stays: don't worry we all are always by your side and will always love you all. We will never leave you alone😢♥️

did Changbin bias wreck you with that? Yes-like, Yes-comment, Yes-exist

i know most people tend to really focus on changbin's hard and aggressive raps on 'maze of memories' and 'matroshyka' so everyone automatically recommend those songs when ppl ask who he is, but there's more to him than that. i wish more people would also equally praise him for his creative and heartfelt metaphors within his lyricism in more of his mellow songs like 'streetlight', 'never-ending story' and 'only a fool knows' since it tells so much about him as a person and give people an insight at how powerful his lyric writing skill is at his age. idk out of all the songs he's been credited to, i just really feel like this song in particular have one of the most important message that others should listen to but it's just not getting enough recognition and it's kinda frustrating ajdldjskdhkd

어떻게 가로등 불빛을 이런식으로 표현했을까.. 가사가 너무 공감 되서 더 마음이 아프다..

For you to not struggle: Changbin's Comment: "Streetlight" is a song about a person who can't talk to others on a boom hip-hop track and who is in pain and sorrow alone, pretending to be not, and laughs in lyrics. When I consult someone, the other person can't solve everything, but I feel much more comfortable just telling them. Before I wrote this song, there were times when I couldn't talk to anyone and had a hard time alone, but I felt relieved when I wrote the lyrics and recorded it. I hope you find someone who will listen to my story with you.

Stray kids is just something different... I hope more people start appreciating them, I personally used to not like kpop and thats why i discovered them quite late... They are the reason why i listen to k-pop. Also a message to my fellow STAYs - lets keep supporting the boys and remain one united and non-toxic fandom.

Somewhere, between "Dwaekki" and the 'Darkeu Rapper" there is a MAN, who wrote this and Ex too with all his honest feelings. He showed us a true range of his talent, and I'm really glad to hear it. I'll hope, thoose people, who doesn't found this gem yet, they come here and fall in love with this song.

2Kids Show を観てから、歌詞の意味を深く知って、とても好きな曲になりました。 夜の街灯の明と暗、人間の二面性、懸命に笑う昼の顔と夜の孤独。 少し疲れてしまった日、肌寒い冬の日の帰り道に聴きたくなります。

The lyrics of streetlight is so heartbreaking it feels like the person had a problem but that person choose not to rely to others but just relying to himself. It's so sad because Changbin said before he wrote the song he sometimes struggles alone. That's why Changbin hopes everyone who listens to this song will find somebody who will listen to you :'( I swear Changbin is one of the most talented people i've ever seen. SKZ overall are my biggest inspiration and i support them so much. Changbin, this song is amazing and i literally cried over this song.

I love how Stray Kids aren't afraid to sing about serious issues Happy 1 year anniversary to this masterpiece

*Accurate translation of Changbin's comments* "It’s a song in which I use the lyrics to compare a person who suffers emotional pain and sorrow on his own without telling anyone, who smiles and pretends like things are okay, to a streetlight.” He went on to offer advice to anyone who was struggling with that kind of experience, adding, “If you ask someone for advice about your problems, even if that person can’t resolve everything for you, just opening up about your feelings makes your heart rest a little easier.” “To be honest,” he continued, “before I wrote this song, there was a time when I also really struggled on my own and wasn’t able to tell anyone. But by writing those feelings into my lyrics and recording this song, I felt like I had shared them with someone, which gave me a sense of relief.” Changbin concluded, “I hope that the people who listen to this song will also find someone who will listen to what they have to say and empathize with their pain.”

I love you Changbin, thank you for being my streetlight

Changbin doesn’t need rap, rap needs him. He is sooo talented 😭

Not only is he a rap god his singing is marvelous and literally out of this world!! I'm so proud of him for sharing a piece of himself, his worries and stress with us! He is one of the strongest most amazing people, all of SKZ are and they deserve the world!!!

"It hurts to be alone" I feel that deeply, like a lot. I have suffered from depression for like 7 or 8 years...it's not like the sad hours, it's worse, way worse. There wasn't anyone I trusted and I felt comfortable to talk to. Even my parents.... I totally understand you Changbin. This is one of the most relatable songs I have ever heard. By staning Stray kids I learned a lot. My depression is gone now just because of you guys...I can't explain how much I am thankful to you... Thank you Changbin for this masterpiece. Thank you Stray kids for everything,existing and so on...I love you 💕

창빈아, 너는 정말 재능있고 멋진 사람이야. 노래가 마음에 쏙쏙 들어와 눈에 눈물이 고인다. 당신의 목소리는 놀랍습니다. 감사합니다 ❤

Vocal ✔️ Rap ✔️ Dance ✔️ Visual ✔️ Producer ✔️ Writer ✔️ Perfection ✔️

[Changbin's Comment] “Streetlight” is on the crowded hip hop track, for when I couldn’t tell others that I was sad. This song was released with lyrics compared to a street lamp. If you have a troubled consultation with someone, the other person can't solve it, but just telling them will make you feel better. Actually, before I even wrote this song, I had a hard time. As I wrote down the lyrics and recorded it, I felt like I was telling someone about it. I hope everyone who listens to this song finds someone who will listen to you. (Sorry if there are any mistakes, as I don't speak Korean and I just used a translator. I also modified it a little so it makes sense.)

When I see Changbin, I cant help thinking the moment that members almost never heard his feelings. He said he wanted to be a good stray kids member and members can rely on him. I was like him. I never let out my feelings not to my family nor friends. My days and night filled with tears. I felt lonely. Nobody heard me crying behind closed doors. I can't help thinking that Changbin is suffering inside, he is trying to cover up with his energetic self. Because i was like that for years. I hope he is fine, and he should open up and rely on his members. I love you Changbin. Im scared to lose you.

창빈 노래가 너무 과소평가됐네요. 스테이는 창빈을 좋아한다.❤

reading the lyrics made me cry even more, not with sadness, not with joy, but maybe just comfort. i felt like *Changbin* just took all the words out of my chest for me and put them into the most beautiful piece i’ve ever heard. i truly mean it and i can never say it enough: thank you *Stray Kids* and thank you *Stay* . you all make me want to live a little longer, you all make me want to STAY.

Seo changbin opened his heart to stay, he wrote this song when he was really having a hard time, the lyrics and words of this song are so sincere. Changbin was always a person who spreads happiness and positivism, he is always there to make you smile, he really deserve the whole world.

Im speechless. Honestly this is why i like skz as much as i do. They are not afraid to show their struggles

Bu şarkının değeri daha çok bilinmeli okadar güzel ki 🥹🥺❤ kalbime dokunuyor dinlerken gözlerim doluyor resmen changbinin sesi çok güzel kalbime dokunan seslerden biri 💛

everything about *this* side of changbin just gives me chills: he barely talks about his problems most of the time and just having him artistically expressing his internal conflicts makes me feel so overwhelmed and i'm literally crying right now

let's say it all together: CHANGBIN BEST VOCALIST CHANGBIN BEST RAPPER CHANGBIN BEST LYRICIST CHANGBIN BEST VISUAL CHANGBIN BESTEST BOY

Ladies and gentlemen, man of literally every talent, SEO CHANGBIN

Я влюблена в эту песню, в каждую строчку которая имеет такой глубокой смысл, в этот не реальный голос,который так идеально передает атмосферу, в эту музыку, которая завораживает, влюблена в каждую частичку этого шедевра

A streetlight may stand alone but never forget that there is another one standing alone some meters apart. Basically, no matter how lonely you feel there is always someone else who feels the same way as you do. You're not alone

No one: STAYS: THE MOST SPOILED FANDOM IN THIS WORLD

The difference between Streetlight and his CYPHER is stark. I mean you can't really compare the two because one is a Cypher. This song is emotional in terms of the beat and the lyrics. For his CYPHER he starts talking about how he started with nothing, he was put down by people who was supposed to teach him, he was told to give up, but then in the end he says he does it for his team and his fans and he will overcome all those obstacles because he's 100% sure of himself and his dream. He has passion and he'll reach his dream. So while the beat and his flow changed multiple times his story still progressed through the lyrics. It's like each part of the Cypher represented a stage in his life

Who's here after watching Hyunjin and Changbin's 2 kids show?

We definitely don’t talk about this song nearly enough. It hits so hard when you’re struggling. I do not understand how he manages to show his emotions so well in this song. His talent is incomparable. His emotions sound so raw and real. This song has to be my favorite song yet listening to this hurts so bad knowing what he’s been through. Changbin manages to impress me every time and he’s insane for this and I hope he knows how many stays he’s helped with this song. I’m truly so thankful for him.

Changbin is so small for all the talent he carries on his back

Other groups: here's some love songs SKZ: here, cry.

Anyone listening to this Masterpiece in 2024?

Seungmin said on vlive that changbin wrote streetlight when they were on their hard time last year. They all felt emotional when they first heard it.

THEY ALREADY TEASED THIS SONG ON MU:FULLY MONTHS AGO, THIS MASTERPIECE WAS HID IN CHAN’S LAPTOP BSKSN’S JUST IMAGINE ALL THE BOPS HIS LAPTOP HAS

i'm just crying so loud rn because i can't believe that this man is so underrated. Changbin is so talented, beautiful, careful, selfless and thoughtful. He's so genuinely kind and attentive of all of us that it makes me cry.

Almost four years and it's still one of my favorites. Changbin your voice is really beautiful and full of feeling

stray kids aren't *just* idols. they're artists. edit : i added the just bc that expresses the sentiment better

Changbin: *starts rapping and singing beautifully* Me: *heart beats fast* Chan: *suddenly appear singing heavenly* Me again: *heart stops and dies*

Changbin's Comment: "Streetlight" is a hip-hop track, a song that tells the lyrics of a person who laughs and pretends, not speaking to others on the crowd and it’s sad and alone. If you have tried talking to someone about your problems, the other person can't solve all of them, but it's easy to feel comfortable just by telling them. Actually, before I even wrote this song, I couldn't really tell anyone, but I had a hard time alone. I hope everyone who listens to this song and are hurt too will find somebody who listens to you.

We love you Changbin, thank you for this song ❤

“It hurts to be alone” WHYYYYYY CHANGBIN WHYYYYYYYY ARE YOU MAKING ME CRYYYYYYYY?
