Luna 'Free Somebody'
The former f(x)'s member solo debut is another song that talks about one's freedom from kept and hidden feelings.
The lyrics discuss how someone wants to be free from their own shackles and restrictions and just play all night long. Letting go of oneself and having fun till the morning comes is definitely something many people could relate to.
As our society is a bit judgmental, many people cannot do freely what they want even though it is not a crime. With Luna's song, "Free Somebody", after listening to it, have the courage and freedom to try new things.
TXT 'Puma'
TXT's "Puma" is a song that is about freedom in general. Being free from the world, its expectations, and the people that chain you from doing the things you really like.
The song also discusses how a Puma from a zoo is freed only to realize that the outside world is too unfamiliar and hard to live with because it's always a race.
It compares their life, how being a trainee is too restrained and being a rookie is too hard because they need to survive and stand out in the sea of idols.
Moreover, having the freedom to choose what they really want and being happy with it is what the song portrays to the listeners.
ONF 'New World'
Another song from a rookie boy group ONF. "New World" is about how they want to go to a new world to have a freer life than before.
This song is also about being in love and wanting to be free from all the sadness and judgement of that relationship.
