Overall Meaning

The song "WON'T BE LONG～Blue Cherry Version～" by EXILE & 倖田來未 starts off with an energetic chorus chanting "OLY OLY OLY OH" and "YELY YELY YELY YEAH" followed by "THE UP-TOWN TOKIO, SLAMIN' NIGHT!!" which describes the vibrant nightlife of Tokyo. The lyrics then talk about stealing knowledge if the brain doesn't have enough, using lies to compete, and a declaration that it won't be long until everything reaches its destination. "DA SMOKIN' DAY" and "DA SUN-SHINE DAY" are two joyful days that the person has experienced, and even if they experience heartbreak, they won't forget the love they had.

The lyrics go on to talk about the journey that the person has taken to get to where they are, and that they have you by their side, which makes them feel safe. They talk about how they aren't afraid of anything anymore, and that they have found joy in life. The rest of the lyrics reiterate that it won't be long until everything reaches its destination and that everything they have done has been for the person they love.
