Music video

edit

The accompanying music video was partially filmed on location in Geoje and Busan.[9] It depicts the group's journey through turbulent seas, symbolizing unity amidst challenges. They express unwavering support for each other with lyrics like, "No matter what, you got me, I got you. We'll make it through, just like we always do."[4] Later, it showcase the group's "cuddle puddle" as the waves turn placid and they are led to shore by a bandmate in a lighthouse, where they start dancing by the beach. The rest of the video is filled with scenes of the band members dancing, holding hands in golden fields, and making promises with "pinkie swears", in line with the lyrics "No we'll never fall apart/ Even million miles apart/ We were lightning from the start". The video includes an animated section where they playfully dive under the waves to interact with marine life. The video ends with the singers striking Titanic-like poses on the ship's bow, enjoying the sunlight.[3]
