the song reminds us to open up our secrets, particularly whatever's bothering us, to find ourselves peace and comfort 😌 keeping our thoughts to ourselves can take a toll on our mental health, so find someone who'll listen to your secret 🥰#BenAndBenDOORS

Soon, we will have the courage to speak up. To tell them everything, the secrets that you always say you'll never tell.

Doors by Ben&Ben I think is telling us to be open to people we trust and stop acting like they can read your minds, work together to have a stronger relationship. No more of your secret doors. Such beauty ❤️#BenAndBenDOORS
