Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dress up in your favorite tux
Champagne for the two of us
I'll set the table yea
I'm bringing that ring I bought
You do with it what you want
A souvenir or some junk
Congratulations
You're finally leaving
Let's throw a party here tonight
And toast to the end of you and I
Congratulations
You finally mean it
Let's throw a party here tonight
And raise up a glass
To our last goodbye (hey)
Oh, oh, congratulations (oh)
Our last goodbye
You leave and I'll pave the way
Let's end on a high note baby
We both knew the day would come
When we'd say our last goodbye oh yea
I always was there for you
But you made it unbearable
The worst part is all my friends knew about it before I did, yea
The rumors got too loud round town
You was behind my back bending round
And don't think I don't know it girl
That's why I'm sad to see you go so
Congratulations
You're finally leaving
Let's throw a party here tonight
And toast to the end of you and I
Congratulations
You finally mean it
Let's throw a party here tonight
And raise up a glass to our last goodbye
Oh oh congratulations (oh)
For our last goodbye
Congratulations baby
Now that you're finally leaving
Let's throw a party here
And toast to you and I
Congratulations baby
I guess you really mean it
Let's throw a party here
And toast to you and I
Congratulations
You're finally leaving
Let's throw a party here tonight
And toast to the end of you and I
Congratulations
You finally mean it
Let's throw a party here tonight
And raise up a glass
To our last goodbye
The song "Congratulations" by Eric Nam is a powerful breakup anthem that reflects the emotions of a person who is finally moving on from a toxic relationship. The song starts with a reference to celebration as the singer brings balloons and champagne to celebrate the end of the relationship. The lyrics then transition to a conversation between the two partners where the singer brings a ring as a souvenir, but the partner is free to do what they want with it. The chorus repeats the word "congratulations" several times, which is a sarcastic remark that reflects the singer's realization that the relationship was stifling and that it's finally over.
The song's lyrics go on to highlight how the singer had always been there for the partner, but they made it unbearable through their actions. The song goes on to show how the singer has always been aware of their partner's actions, which is why they are sad to see the relationship end, but at the same time, they are relieved to move on. The chorus repeats a few more times, and the song ends with a final toast to the end of the relationship.
This song is not just about a breakup; it's about the singer's journey towards realizing that they deserve better than what they have been given. The song shows that sometimes saying goodbye is the best way of moving forward and finding happiness.

@chimchim6187
Same thought haha
@liyak
I was just going comment that... like i just said it out loud and i immediately found your comment😂
@nikolaiquack8548
That's actually not really accurate. There was more hurt and sadness in Day6' Congratulations, but there were also some big "f u" lines in that song.
@vanshoesies
Or is it actually the same sentiment, expressed in slightly diff ways for both? Eric did have love die young goin at the end of this song.
@golddwing
HAHAHA THIS! 😹😹💜
@yoyongz
