More lyrics:
The lyrics of "Baby Steps" by 少女时代-TaeTiSeo focus on the gradual process of falling in love and the uncertainty that comes with it. The chorus repeats the numbers "one, two, three, four, five, six" to represent the steps taken in this process, both emotionally and physically. The first verse sung by Taeyeon expresses the feeling of constantly thinking about the person and being unable to escape those feelings. Seohyun chimes in with the realization that even the smallest interactions with the person bring joy to one's life. Tiffany's verse talks about the fear of longing for someone who may be drifting farther away. The chorus is then repeated by all three members. The bridge, sung by Seohyun, acknowledges the difficulty of loving someone from afar, wondering if what is being felt is truly reciprocated. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and the hopeful affirmation of moving forward with "baby steps" towards the person being longed for.

Taeyeon af
Taeyeon's high notes were too much for my soul. I just wanted to jump through my laptop screen and hug her and tell her everything was going to be okay. She is literal perfection

I've said it before, and I'll keep on saying it. I really love Seohyun's voice. Her voice has a sort of depth to it and it is so versatile. No matter if she's singing harmony or the main line, her voice enriches the song. Love it.

I agree and I think people just underestimated her because it took her some time for her voice to develop fully and to get that stag presence
Bianca
To be honestly I think her voice is better than Taeyeon's.
Phoenix Heart
Lol there's no way seohyun voice is better than taeyeon
It gets worse
@Phoenix Heart why not? lmao for me Seohyun clicks more its really a a matter of preference, so stop this imposing behavior
Alaska
@It gets worse its your preference?, right, still if we are looking at range and so on and so on, taeyeon is better than seohyun, but still seohyun has good technique and can take good care of her voice
Sophia Borda
Taeyeon's voice really fits here. Soft but powerful :D
Jeremy Ng
Taeyeon high pitch is really epic here, better than the studio version
Tae Wen
Taeyeon's emotion and voice are just so perfect. everyone of them....daebak!
