I love that every reactor has the same reaction "What happened to Grandpa?" haha -He's cake!

2024-04-10 04:41:20 +0000 UTCIt still blows my mind that this was one of Chan's first songs. Like he kept it in a vault for like 10 years before it was actually released. It makes me wonder how many other songs he has from when he was a teen that he just hasn't released. Like obviously there are pre-debut 3Racha songs but I wonder what else he has hiding.

2024-04-07 22:33:21 +0000 UTCI think the cake they made was made with parts of Grandpa, lol. If you notice in one scene (@3:20 on your video), there's a bloody hand in the blender. And there were eyeballs (albeit colorful ones). So that's where Grandpa went, lol.

2024-04-07 17:39:47 +0000 UTCI've heard two theories about the Grandpa going missing. First is that they ate him - he became the cake. Second - Grandpa was actually the true vampire and that's why his clothes were still there at the end. Honestly, both sound like they could be true, but I find the second interesting even though my first interpretation was that they ate him. No idea which it could be, but it's sure fun to think about.

2024-04-07 08:44:14 +0000 UTCI remember when this dropped!! Such a fun song!!! Who isn’t the most creative late at night. Haha. Crazy that Chan wrote at such a young age. Little did he know!!! I LOVE the track for this too!!! DRIVE……I’m ready. PS link this for after, my favorite Lee Know version of drive. https://x.com/chanmingvibe/status/1561731487858589696?s=46&t=8GBdW4EbTbLjeOnxgDAjTw

2024-04-07 07:55:55 +0000 UTCThe thing I love about this music is because a few Stays always ask Chan to sleep early. It feels like an answer to them (I know he wrote the song in his treinee years but it fits so perfect) "I don't want to go to sleep now, I'll be making a master piece.." he's not wrong hahaha they are adults and they know their limits and we are super happy with all these masterpieces hahahaha PS: Ohhhhhhh my name was in the shout out section!!

2024-04-07 02:27:50 +0000 UTCi love this song!! it has, for me, a real mischievous vibe. when they tiptoe in at the beginning all crouched down- that’s what the music feels like to me. they’re having playful fun but it’s scary too- RIP grandpa lol. (i hope they at least left a piece of the cake for granny.) it’s cool to read that it was a trainee/teenage write of bang chan’s! i didn’t know that.

2024-04-07 00:03:39 +0000 UTCI love this song! As others have mentioned, it was the first song Bang Chan wrote as a trainee, and for me, I think that's why the MV is deliberately silly compared to the music - given how young he was when he wrote it, I'd bet he meant the lyrics to be very cool and serious originally, but by the time he came to produce it, even though he still liked the sentiment, he probably didn't see it as life or death anymore, and so gave it a more lighthearted touch. Like, it's very easy to imagine him at 14-15 writing "I don't want to go to sleep now / I'll be making a masterpiece now" and meaning it Very Earnestly, and then at 24-25 with some success under his belt being like "oh, that was cute," because the lyric has gone from being a boasting ambition to a modest reality and thus needs to be treated differently. But that's just my theory! Also, I'd second the recommendation to watch the three promotional/variety show videos, All-Night SKZ, that go with this song, which is just Chan, Changbin, Felix and Seungmin doing a sleepover with various activities. There's some very iconic moments in them!

2024-04-06 22:22:41 +0000 UTCUp All Night is along the same vein as Christmas Evel, too. Both are quirky references to different holidays. In both, there are traditional notes, doses of cynicism, elements of horror, interesting musical arrangements, great acting, tons of humor..... As others have mentioned, Chan wrote Up All Night years ago. I have no doubt there are other hidden gems from his creative mind that will be honed and polished over time so we can finally hear them. Finally, can I just say.....and I've probably said this before.....I LOVE how SKZ don't take themselves too seriously when they write songs. I honestly love how ADORKABLE they are sometimes, and I appreciate so much their willingness to share that goofiness with us, even if they know those songs won't be big commercial successes.

2024-04-06 20:15:43 +0000 UTCHahaha loved the reaction! Honestly don't know what really brought them to release it in June, except being filler content around Kingdom. They also released a show of the same name, with the same four members, and they basically spend 3 episodes trying things they could do at night. I think someone already linked it in the comments haha. (also, you've heard in the second episode of SKZ Family!) I honestly don't remember my first reaction to it, but I will dance my butt off everytime I hear this song, because it is such a vibe! Veery curious what you'll think of Drive by our beloved elderly, as seungmin would say it. And remember: that song is completely about driving and Lee Know wrote it! No double meaning at all! /s

2024-04-06 17:13:39 +0000 UTCThis was actually the first song he ever wrote/composed, back when he was a trainee! I believe in 2017. I can’t find now where that was talked about, but it might be in the content that Pelin linked. He’s reacted to it a couple of times on Chan’s Room and there are clips of that on YouTube if you ever want to watch/react to that!

2024-04-06 16:20:16 +0000 UTCTo me it gives "What We Do In The Shadows" vibes....a bunch of loveable bumbling vampires

2024-04-06 15:26:01 +0000 UTCI love this song and the video! I always feel that the happenings in the video are so like them, enjoying being creative and wild at night, not accepting musical conventions but doing what they want and when they want. In one of the Chans Room episodes Stays reprimanded Chan for being up so late and his answer was: I do what I want. And I presume, that nighttime brings a special vibe and it's maybe easier to be creative. There is one Chans room episode in which he created a track live for us to observe him doing it. He was so engrossed that, I think, he did not realize that the episode ended up at nearly 2 full hours. But it was amazing to watch and even watching it you don't realize the time passing. More amazing: the track he created was so great! (not talking about the track he created with Han and Chanbin in Chans Room about how great Chanbin is... it's no coincidence that Chans Room is legendary).

2024-04-06 14:12:29 +0000 UTCBang Chan wrote this when he was like 14 or something. It was the first song he wrote at JYPE.

2024-04-06 14:03:27 +0000 UTCGranpa became the masterpiece of a nightsnack 😆 Felix does apparently stay up late. I think Minho and Seungmin are to most diligent members when it comes to sleeping. Felix plays video games till morning is what the other members have said. But yeah. I think this is Bangchans older masterpieces when he was still a trainee. Like way back. I didnt have much of a reaction when listening this the first time and then kinda forgot it. Found it later and now its on my everyday playlist ✨

2024-04-06 14:01:23 +0000 UTCSo this one was happening when Hyunjin was still on hiatus I think, because the bonus shows that go along with this song have Chan, Felix, Changbin, and Seungmin. And then Minho, Jisung, and I.N did Mysterious Kitchen at the same time. So it's not really a "roomies" split. They actually mention the groups on that one retreat they did you've already watched (I'd have to grab the name I can't remember it off the top of my head).

2024-04-06 13:52:32 +0000 UTCoh yaay one of my favorite songs! and yes you guys heard it on the skz family summer vacation video before. there are also 3 videos about this song, it's been a while since I last watched them so I don't remember the content very well but it's skz code-ish https://youtu.be/65J56znZVpw?si=5kT2HvLzki7LXVeH & https://youtu.be/AtwIt8I_8VE?si=V6ElZPS2MiM1w2Bp & https://youtu.be/TbcIGWjsQvI?si=9XRIuNvK80uP7mlI

2024-04-06 13:40:51 +0000 UTCYaaaaahhhhh. Getting to my TV RN. Give me a sec. Yes. This is the song from the SKZ family. They all look so good here. The ONLY vampires i wanna run into 😹. I LOVE doing the little BRRP 😹. LOL, i still don't fully understand what happened to the man at the end. Did he turn into a vampire? Did he turn into a bat? Did they drain him of his blood? But if that was the case, his body would still be there. It's very strange. But yes it does very much remind me of Maknae on top. It's just the mind of SKZ. They like mix matching the message to the instrumental sometimes. I loved the music in general. I don't think I've ever disliked a song or video they've done. I do know that these four had a couple of episodes together called All night SKZ. I don't think you guys have reacted to it yet (I'm gonna double check) but it's cute.
