BTOB's Sungjae finally released his first single album entitled "Exhibition: Look Closely" with the main song "Be Somebody" on May 9, 2024. When I listened to this song for the first time, I immediately recognized the strong vocals and touching lyrics of this song.
It's not surprising that "Be Somebody" can be immediately accepted in one listen. Carrying the emo indie-pop genre, "Be Somebody" is a song with an impressive trap style beat combined with an addictive guitar riff, and Sungjae's charming vocal color.
This song describes someone who is trapped becoming someone else for a week. So he doesn't feel like the time he's passing belongs to him and him. Sungjae felt like a loser when he realized how much time he had wasted because of this.
For the rest of his life, he tried to banish all these feelings so he could become a complete 'person', as the title suggests. Sungjae also said that he believes in his soul and inner figure if he really wants to be 'someone'. Although sometimes he feels like he has been stripped naked because he has been trapped in something that is not him for a long time.
So through this song, he also says that he doesn't want to go back to the past and to his old self. A job sometimes requires us to do things we don't want. Like overtime and constantly being chased by deadlines. It is not surprising that people in this situation feel trapped and the time they have is no longer theirs.
So the story line of this song shows a row of people queuing and then a changing monitor screen. Then it switches to Sungjae who is trapped in a cube, a perfect illustration to describe the routine that many people usually do. Furthermore, this 29 year old idol also advised people who are in this situation to try to jump higher and reach the sun.
Get rid of all fears so we can live a better life. Finally, "Be Somebody" is a song for everyone to return to being themselves in any situation. Sungjae's sweet and characteristic voice can help you take a break and feel entertained after a tiring day.
