But Sometimes

The most emotionally sophisticated track in this set, this song earns its title by actually inhabiting contradiction rather than describing it. The production moves between soft and slightly dissonant moments, with a guitar tone that occasionally introduces a minor color against an otherwise warm harmonic language — the arrangement itself embodies the lyrical tension. Vocally the group moves between intimate delivery and something more vulnerable and exposed, mirroring the push-and-pull of feelings that refuse to resolve neatly. What the song is doing emotionally is acknowledging the messiness of genuine attachment: the days when love feels effortless and the days when it chafes, when you want someone near and also want space from the weight of them. This is not a comfortable subject for pop music, which tends to prefer clean emotional states that translate easily into hooks. The hook here works differently — it sits with the discomfort rather than resolving it. In the context of early K-pop group identity construction, the song reads as a statement of intent: BOYNEXTDOOR are interested in the parts of relationships that don't fit neatly onto a Valentine's card. The listening scenario involves a specific kind of honesty — the private admission, usually just before sleep, that your feelings about someone are real and contradictory and you are not sure what to do with that.
