"Daisy" on YouTube

"Daisy" (Korean: 데이지; RR: Deiji) is a song recorded by South Korean boy group Pentagon, released on October 12, 2020, by Cube Entertainment as the lead single of the group's tenth extended play WE:TH. The song was written by members Hui and Wooseok, alongside producer Nathan.

"Daisy" was described as a song that contains a sad feeling that everyone would have experienced after a breakup. Lyrically, the song has a dual meaning as the flower language 'daisy' overlaps the meaning of hope, peace, innocence and hopelessness, and the meaning of 'burn in pain and emotion.' Wooseok added saying, "It looks bright but not that bright."[1] The choreography of this song incorporates movements such as making flowers with hands or turning with hands on top of their heads, calling it the 'Sowing Dance' in which daisy seeds are transferred to make flowers.[2]

Ten days after their 4th year anniversary, Pentagon gained their first ever music show win since their debut on SBS MTV's The Show with 8,470 points.[3]

A Chinese and Japanese version of the song was released on October 28, 2020, simultaneously.[4][5]

Background

[edit]

The title song, "Daisy" was written after Road to Kingdom. Member Shinwon revealed "At first, Hui hyung played a demo song, and I thought 'it was already good' even before we officially started working on the album. Maybe that's why I waited comfortably. I liked the song. I wasn't worried."[6]

"I like the rock genre these days, so I thought about what kind of subject would be good. Putting the keyword on 'empathy', I thought that 'love' is a theme that can easily and universally relate to many people. I took the heartbreaking love as the theme, and when I see it in the movie, I always remember saying they said, 'Be happy and be well' after the heartbreaking love. In fact, in my mind, I was wondering if there was a feeling that I would like to 'being a little less happier than me', so I honestly wrote down that feeling in a straightforward way.

— Hui on the meaning of "Daisy", [6]

Regarding the keyword 'empathy', Yeo One said, "We are singers, and I think that the job of being a singer is a job of speaking in songs. I wrote the lyrics with the desire to heal the wounds of the listeners and double the joy with the lyrics of the song. You will be able to relate to it."[6] Kino participated in the song's album artwork, choreography and daisy challenge's choreography.[7]

Composition and lyrics

[edit]

"I had this initial idea but I could not move forward. I could not make any progress, and I was just sitting in my studio for like 3-4 days worrying about it. Then, I saw Wooseok passing by and I asked for his help and that's how it happened."

— Hui talking about Wooseok helping him in composing "Daisy".[8]

The song is in the key of F major, 85 bpm with a running time of 3:09 minutes.[9] "Daisy" is an alternative rock genre song that was sung with a sad and sad heart that everyone would have experienced after the breakup. The lyrics are expressed by the use of daisy flowers. The white flower as the sign of hope as a metaphor for love and progress focusing on the ambiguous meaning that describes how one will eventually get burned by that love. Pentagon member explained, "After the breakup, I portrayed the feelings wishing that the other person would be happy while wishing they could miss you because they could not meet someone better than me." The track features heartbreaking and realistic sentiments in a straightforward lyrics.[10]

It gave a strong impact to those who appeared.[49] When asked about the behind of the shooting, Wooseok saying, "I blew up a car." And then he replied, "There was a scene that fell in the rain outdoors, but it was a time when it was getting cold, so I was filmed while shaking my whole body." Regarding the scene underwater, Kino replied "I have been fond of water since I was a child. After receiving scuba training for filming, I filmed for 5 hours, and I thought I would die." He continued, "During the training, I learn to control water pressure, but I failed once in the middle. If you send a rescue signal, you will come to rescue within 3 seconds, but I couldn't stand 3 seconds. I felt like I was going to die. For the first time in my life, I felt that water was scary. It was so hard, but it was so much fun. But the 5 hour filming underwater was about 1.5 seconds in the music video."[6] The epilogue of the music video follows the separation depicted through vivid colors and vibrant emotions.[14]
