The song "Neverland" by the South Korean girl group GFriend is all about a lover who makes the singer feel complete and perfect in their own little world, their sanctuary or “Neverland”. The singer describes how the sun’s rays and breeze carry her to a happy, joyous world when she sees her lover's smile. No matter who's watching, she doesn't care what others think of their love as they are the only people in their world. The song presents a fairytale-like ambience where the two lovers fly away beyond the sky and the charming atmosphere of the blue sky that shines brightly with one another's love. The ending of the song marks an ode to love and affection wherein the singer promises to love their partner even more than before and hopes that they will always stay together.
The lyrics of the song represent an idealistic form of love where two people are completely engrossed and lost in each other and their world. This song is about love, a universal feeling that everyone can relate to. The romantic setting of the lyrics and metaphors of Neverland conjures up imagery similar to that of Peter Pan's world in which no one ever grows up.
