A K-pop anthem about pushing through worry with the beat.

The lyric treats anxiety like a temporary glitch in the system, 'geokjeong-eun geumanhae', something to be muted so the main track can play.

It's a stubborn refusal to let worry dictate the rhythm.

Editor's note

NCT Dream's Life Is Still Going On

A K-pop anthem about pushing through worry with the beat.

Life is still going on

The lyric treats anxiety like a temporary glitch in the system, 'geokjeong-eun geumanhae', something to be muted so the main track can play. It's a stubborn refusal to let worry dictate the rhythm.

The repeated plea 'Don't stop the music' feels less like a request and more like a necessary command to keep moving. 'Life is still going on' answers the pressure of time ticking forward, insisting you roll with it even when you'd rather freeze.

It's a plain statement that carries the whole song. No argument, no flourish, just the fact you have to move with.

The way 'tick, tock, tick, tock' cuts through the party vibe sticks with you, a reminder that the clock doesn't care if you're dancing or not.
