They are locally regarded as the best rock band after Beyond, a popular rock band that is based in Hong Kong. Mayday's songs resonate greatly with many Taiwanese youths who can identify with their themes of love, world peace and growing up. They are also influenced by The Beatles, which is their favourite group whom they aspire to be like.
Their music has the unique ability to bring the listener to his feet or move the listener to tears. They sing songs mostly in Taiwanese and Chinese although some fans profess that their Taiwanese songs are more emotional and touching. Unlike some rock bands, they also project a clean and healthy image and have never been seen smashing musical instruments willfully, drinking or gambling. Mayday represent the zeitgeist of the Taiwanese and Chinese youth who identify with the band's themes of innocence, childhood, dreams, aspirations, loneliness and determination. At the same time, the band's unique outlook on life has attracted many fans who find their views refreshing.

我的鞋 和外套 是谁穿走了
那是谁 在我家 大方洗澡
镜子前 他和我 一样的外表
谁搬进 我的大脑
谁绑住 我的手脚
是DNA 唱我反调
还是我的命运 不敢自编自导
想甩就甩 跳就跳
跳更高 别靠腰 要靠心脏的火药
要不要 难道要 别人帮你决定好
好不好 就现在 抢回自己的心跳
自己的心跳
那是谁 就是说 有够衰小
那是谁 只祷告 只会打嘴炮
那是谁 被通缉 正在逃跑
罪名是绑架了 自己的微笑
谁搬进 我的大脑
谁绑住 我的手脚
是DNA 唱我反调
还是我的命运 不敢自编自导
想要叫 那就叫
想甩就甩 跳就跳
跳更高 别靠腰 要靠心脏的火药
要不要 难道要 别人帮你决定好
好不好 就现在 抢回自己的心跳
想要叫 那就叫
想甩就甩 跳就跳
跳更高 别靠腰 要靠心脏的火药
要不要 难道要 别人帮你决定好
好不好 就现在 抢回自己的心跳
心跳 跳跃 狂奔 奔跑
The song "DNA" by Mayday talks about the struggle of finding one's identity and individuality in a world where we are constantly influenced and manipulated by external factors. The lyrics ask the question of who is controlling our thoughts and actions and whether we are truly making our own decisions or simply following the predetermined paths that have been set for us. The references to personal items such as toothpaste and clothing being used by someone else suggest a loss of control over one's own life. The line "是DNA唱我反调" (my DNA sings a different tune) implies that our genetic makeup might also play a role in shaping who we are and the decisions we make.
The chorus encourages the listener to take charge of their own life by being true to themselves and pursuing their passions, rather than following the expectations and judgments of others. The repeated lines "想要叫那就叫, 想甩就甩跳就跳" (if you want to shout, then shout, if you want to shake it off, then shake it off and jump) serve as a call to action to break free from the constraints of society and live life on one's own terms.
Overall, the song serves as a reminder to listeners that we are all unique individuals with our own DNA and should embrace that individuality rather than conforming to the expectations of others.
