XIA made his debut in 2003 as a member of TVXQ, a boy band produced and formed by South Korean record label and talent agency S.M. Entertainment, having previously been a trainee for six years. He had released four Korean albums, four Japanese albums, thirty Japanese singles and several Korean singles during his first six years in the music industry as TVXQ. In 2009, Kim and fellow TVXQ members Kim Jaejoong and Park Yoochun filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment, arguing that their exclusive contracts were unilaterally disadvantageous towards the artists and should be invalidated. The Seoul Central District Court ruled in favor of the three and granted an injunction suspending their contracts. The trio reunited and subsequently formed JYJ (formerly known as JUNSU/JEJUNG/YUCHUN in Japan). As JYJ, Kim has released one English album, one Korean album, one Japanese EP, and one Korean EP.
Kim began his solo career in 2010 with the release of Japanese single "Xiah", which peaked at number-two on Japan's Oricon singles chart. The same year, he took the role of Wolfgang in his debut musical Mozart!, receiving critical acclaim and commercial success. After the release of Xiah, Kim's solo music career was sent into hiatus because of a discord between him and his Japanese label Avex Trax that led to the sudden suspension of all his activities in Japan. In May 2012, he released his first full-length Korean solo studio album "Tarantallegra", while being represented by new management agency C-JeS Entertainment. Following the release, he embarked on his first headlining world tour. He returned with his second Korean solo studio album "Incredible", in July 2013.
No Reason
XIA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
부드럽게 넘겨줘
달콤한 막대 사탕처럼
나를 느껴줘
벨트는 꽉 매야 돼
분위기가 느슨해져
긴장은 쫙 빼야돼
웃지 않아도 돼
예쁜 척 안 해도 돼
읽지 않아도 돼
다 보이잖아
오늘 숨이 넘어가도 돼
넌 인공호흡이 필요해
아닌 척 안 해도 돼
오늘 니가 리드 해도 돼
이유가 또 왜 필요해
어떤 말이 더 필요해
There's no reason
No reason, no reason, no reason
이유가 또 왜 필요해
어떤 말이 더 필요해
There's no reason
No reason, no reason, no reason
달콤한 게 좋아
새콤한 것도 끌려
가끔은 두 가지 다
맛보고만 싶어
31 ice cream
고르긴 너무 많아
수많은맛이 내 입가를
통해 느껴져
넌 흥미진진해
블락 버스터 보다 더
읽지 않아도 돼
표정에 다 써 있어
숨이 넘어가도 돼
넌 인공호흡이 필요해
아닌 척 안 해도 돼
오늘 니가 리드 해도 돼
이유가 또 왜 필요해
어떤 말이 더 필요해
There's no reason
No reason, no reason, no reason
이유가 또 왜 필요해
어떤 말이 더 필요해
There's no reason
No reason, no reason, no reason
(이런 건 어디서 배웠어)
그 맘을 밀고 당기기
밀고 당기기
(이런 건 어디서 배웠어)
날 잡았다가 풀었다가
들었다가 놓았다가
이유가 또 왜 필요해
어떤 말이 더 필요해
There's no reason
No reason, no reason, no reason
이유는 없어도 돼
어떤 말도 없어도 돼
No reason, reason
There's no reason, reason
The lyrics to XIA's song No Reason express the idea that sometimes there is no need for explanation or reason in a relationship. The opening lines, "Don't bite me, just let me slide through smoothly, Like a sweet candy bar, feel me," suggest a desire to be loved and accepted without resistance. The song seems to be about wanting to let go of tension and expectations in a relationship and just enjoy being together, even if that means not following certain social norms or acting a certain way. The chorus emphasizes that there is no need for a reason or justification for how they feel or how they act, they can just be in the moment without trying to make sense of everything.
