Shawols and corporate slaves alike are in a meditative state of mind right now as K-pop boy band SHINee's Key officially made his highly-anticipated solo comeback with the release of his second mini album Good & Great and its title track's music video.
“Good & Great,” the title track of the new EP, is a pop dance song with rhythmic piano sounds that'll get you going through the day. The relatable lyrics of the track paint a picture of a corporate employee who's grateful for being employed and, at the same time, stuck in the daily routine.
The song gave a lot of relatable lines that corporate slaves alike can relate to. There's one where Key sings, “Stop, stop worrying in advance,” and another where he sings, “Coffee is the only reason I function.”
The accompanying music video is set in a corporate office where Key is the main character. Shawols witness Key as he navigates through his daily life as an employee and tries to remind himself that he is good and great.
Shawols all over the world feel seen by Key and have expressed their appreciation for the singer. Check out their tweets below.
SO GOOD AND GREAT ‧₊˚✧ ✧˚₊‧
