Good Day
IU Lyrics

The lyrics of the song Good Day by South Korean singer IU explores the emotions of someone who is on the cusp of making a romantic confession to their love interest. In the first verse, the singer is in awe of the beauty of the sky and the perfection of the wind, elements of nature that seem to reflect the emotions she is feeling inside. She is unsure of whether to start a new conversation or continue with the one already in play. She contemplates whether to remain silent and not reveal her feelings, or whether to kiss her love interest and not let the tears flow. The second verse continues with the singer's internal turmoil, as she contemplates whether her new haircut and outfit choices were mistakes or not. She considers pretending like nothing has happened and walking away, or whether to confront her feelings head-on. The chorus repeats the feelings of the first verse, emphasizing the struggle with her emotions and the urge to express them, followed by a bridge in which the singer pleads with her love interest not to say any sad words.

One interpretation of the lyrics suggests that the song is about the fear and anticipation of rejection. The singer battles with her own self-doubt and is unsure of whether the person she loves feels the same way. She also fears that confessing her feelings may ruin their relationship and create awkwardness between them. The lyrics describe the combination of excitement and anxiety that comes with confessing deep feelings, the fear of the unknown, and the consequences that may follow.
