SKZ - Runners

Comments

To be fair to Han-C... I only realized this song was all in English when D'Some said it. And I've stared straight at the lyrics as I've sang along

This is my favorite song from this album. The sound and lyrics create a very clear image, as you mentioned. Also, the melody is so beautiful. I love this song as much as ‘Stray Kids’. Listening to ‘Runners’ and ‘Stray Kids’ together gave me the feeling of their whole journey.

runners is my favourite song from the album, there's just something about the viebe or mood of the songs that talks to me

I was waiting for this reaction in particular - it['s my fave on the album (so far) There's a lot going on, musiclly but for me, the lyrics are so sad - As a person with a LOT of a trauma, I feel so much from the lyrics, but the theme of hope that runs throughout takes the edge off the melancholy, and so the song transitions from hoplessness, to hopefulness and almost an angsty feeling through different points. I feel like i'm being taken on an emotional journey when I listen to this song, and i've literally had it on repeat since it dropped. Also, I love how the bear drives the lyrics, faster at the most determined points, rising through the hopeful points and halting when it's a decision point. Idk maybe i'm totally off, but that's my take, lol.

Taaaaashaaaaa

Runner's high mentioneeedd ahhh😂. Haha but if you didn't know, there's a 3racha predebut track called Runner's high (w/c is not released officially😭). Also, they performed it with Hongjoong and soyeon (gidle) as a collab stage in 2019❤️

I have no idea how many times I heard this and finally realized this was all in English. Haha. I feel like this was a really good song to be in English too - kinda of an anthem to everyone about them pushing forward. It such an emotional song. I hope they preform this at concerts - it would be awesome to hear live! This whole album has really blown me away.

I love Runners. I think my fav part is Felix's Zoom Zoom Zoom Zoom. Makes my ears happy.

I am becoming a completely indecisive person. With each new track I think, this is it! My favorite! And immediately change it at the next track. All are too good for me to choose. I love each one and never know which one will be on repeat in my head when I wake up. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Gail Palmer

Love runners it's such a stunning song but I still can't pick a favourite.

I did have a question on this one: is the flute-like sound from a traditional Korean instrument? I know Skz have used them before (specifically in Thunderous from what I can think of) but I wasn't sure if it was just a source in this song or a Korean instrument (I'm sorry, I don't know any of the proper names! :') ) Edit: Side note - your guy's background music during the discussion time had a similar source or sound to Han's 1,2,3,4,5 and I couldn't focus until I figured it out!! 🤭🤣 Edit 2: I love this song. :) I think the pre-chorus is my favorite part but the whole thing has been on constant repeat for me since last week!!

You said it so well, I'm not even going to try. This song has been the one most on repeat for me and I think it's all the reasons you said - especially as I'm in a big transition stage in every aspect of my life and i feel like running towards it or away from it every day. i Love this song. And the quote from Kim Seokjin! Thanks for sharing! :)

I love the whole album, but I really love Runners - emotionally and tonally (IMO), it strikes a balance between ambition and wistfulness that's really difficult to manage, but which is something I'm always drawn to in music. It's like a magic eye picture for your ears, in the sense that, depending on your mood when listening, it could be either a hype song or a calming one, because that running beat can feel like either running to, or running from. It's about wanting to succeed, but conveys a sense of hope more than braggadocio, and at the same time, it's reflective on the fears and pitfalls that dog their efforts, but without being either depressive or dismissive. The end result is unexpectedly poignant for a song with such an energetic pace, but it works because - as per the name, and its ultimate thesis - Runners is about the persistence of momentum: you keep going. It makes me think of something Kim Seokjin said in a recent interview, when he was asked about how he immediately leapt straight back into work after getting out of the military despite how tiring this was: "You don't stop breathing just because the air is bad." It's the same sentiment, I think: you can acknowledge that it's difficult, that there's pitfalls, but still, you keep going, because you love it. And there's something really moving about that.

This, StrayKids, and of course chk chk boom are my favorite songs of the album. It's such a great song to drive to if you're on your way to work! I listen to it when I get called in when I'm on call and it gives me energy for the job!

the last skz song that made me feel the way Runners does was 0325! as soon as I heard Runners in the mashup, I immediately thought “this is definitely gonna be drum and bass”. Can’t wait for you to hear Twilight!!

Jen

Woo! I love this song! Actually I love all the songs on this album! I cant wait for you to get to Twilight. It is so pretty.

Mariya Fae

I'm so proud of Felix for helping Bang Chan write this song, the two of them together always create amazing songs 🥹

Stacy Marie

JJAM and Runners are my favourite songs from the album and they have so many fun elements musically so I was the most excited for your reactions to those songs! I also didn't notice it was completely in English on my first listen cause there is just so much happening all at once. Felix was the most memorable for me with his powerful intro and outro and the 'zoom zoom' part. It felt like he was leading the others in a sprint, that's the visual I was getting and if I remember correctly Felix was helping Bang Chan with this song I think

Coco Nies

Loved this song. I know Chan said it was cyberpunk, but idk if he meant the genre or the game. In the cyberpunk game there are edgerunners and a lot of the lyrics do resonate with that. Maybe I'm reaching. Also twilight HanPop!!!

amyren

it's not just you, this song made me emotional somehow too. I think it's because you can just imagine that internal daily struggle to keep going, no matter what. It's a really encouraging and relatable song.

Tristana Keauna

it was kinda funny to me that you mentioned "runner's high" because 3racha actually has a song called that. i think they performed it before too

pelin

My favorite song from the whole album. It has such a strong vibe, I love drive at night and just listen it non-stop

Suzanna

Such an amazing song, honestly, one of my top favorites on this album.

JanLindie

This is one of my favorite songs on the album ❤️‍🔥

Tatfitmom B

I think I listened to this song like 3 times before it dawned on me that it was all in English. Their voices are just so distinct in any language.

Tristana Keauna

Yay!! The next song is Twilight, which is one of my favorite songs on the album. I'm really looking forward to your reaction.

J.A. Moore

Yeeessss. This song is so good. And it surprisingly made me emotional for some reason. Like I started tearing up and I don't entirely know why to be completely honest with you. Also, I love the drill beat that they have. Like I need Felix to contribute more when it comes to these songs because he gives us bangers. I mean 3racha does too obviously but come through Felix. I also wonder if y'all will notice that it is completely in english. Oh this song reminds me of the Powerpuff girls. I don't know if y'all have ever heard of that show have ever watched that show but I wonder if y'all will pick it up if you guys have heard of it. The way D'some held his arm out to stop Han-C from doing anything even though he wasn't doing anything when Felix said hold up hold My hand cuz we're taking off was so precious. Oh was that the Jersey club beat, I definitely thought it was a drill beat. But again, hyunjin sounds so good on this song. This album is his album for me. seriously this song is so beautiful. The music stopping when Felix says hold up definitely made that moment more impactful. Lol Runners high. I want to say I see what you did there but I honestly don't even think you know what you did. But 3racha has a song called runners high that they released a while ago. They have a couple of albums which I hope you guys eventually check out. Including the deleted songs that they have. Because there's one deleted song that I absolutely love with all of my entire heart because I am a very sensitive and over-emotional person. But yeah it was a really good joke but I don't even think you knew you were making a joke and that's what makes it even more funny. Oh yeah you did notice that it's all in English. Oh, Twilight is just a whole nother level of beautiful to me. I think my favorite part of the song is Felix's start of the second verse. My favorite lyric is when Benny says doing this doing that taking orders like on Winter soldier. I just love when they throw in their nerdy things and also it's Marvel so yay. My favorite section melodically is hyunjin and his tone when he's singing towards the end of the song, The chorus. And then the same kind of low notes from Han singing and then he randomly throws that very high and we're the runners in there is beautiful. My favorite section musically is once again Felix's second verse. Because that beat comes in so heavy and so hard and I just feel it and my body and it makes me move and I love it so much. Bye guys! Can't wait to see you in the next song. Runner's, I like it, Twilight, and Chk Chk Boom are my favorite tracks.
