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.

때로는 날 더욱 더 밀어붙이고
아슬아슬 선 넘지 말고
가끔은 정도가 지나쳐도 돼
Oh baby 느껴져
안달날수록 뜨거워지는 눈빛
하나부터 열까지
내 맘에 쏙 들어
동해물과 백두산도 소용 없어
양 한 마리 양 두 마리
양 세 마리 양 네 마리
미치겠어
말로는 다 못해
비교 또한 불가해
이 세상 너머의 것
스치기만 해도 숨이 가빠와
Oh baby 느껴져
내 안 깊숙이 전해지는 열기
하나부터 열까지
내 맘에 쏙 들어
ABCD 까지 세다가 까먹어
동해물과 백두산도 소용 없어
양 한 마리 양 두 마리
양 세 마리 양 네 마리
미치겠어
하나부터 열까지
내 맘에 쏙 들어
ABCDE 까지 세다가 까먹어
동해물과 백두산도 소용 없어
머리부터 발끝까지 다 떨려
하나부터 열까지
내 맘에 쏙 들어
ABCD 까지 세다가 까먹어
동해물과 백두산도 소용 없어
양 한 마리 양 두 마리
양 세 마리 양 네 마리
미치겠어
The lyrics of "X Song" by XIA feat. Dok2 can be interpreted as a plea for someone to truly understand and appreciate the singer's feelings and emotions.
In the first paragraph, the singer asks the listener not to judge them easily and sometimes even push them further. This can be seen as a desire for the listener to see beyond the surface and delve deeper into their thoughts and feelings. The mention of crossing boundaries cautiously suggests that the singer wants the listener to respect their limits while still being able to explore their emotions.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the intensity of the singer's emotions. They describe their passionate gaze and how the more anxious they become, the hotter their eyes become. This can be seen as the singer's way of expressing the intensity of their feelings and their desire for the listener to feel the same way. The repetition of "ABCD" and "one to ten" suggests that the singer's feelings range from the beginning to the end, encompassing a wide spectrum of emotions.
The second paragraph further emphasizes the overpowering nature of the singer's emotions. They confess that they cannot fully express their feelings through words, and the comparison becomes futile. The mention of something beyond this world that takes their breath away suggests that their emotions transcend the material world and have a profound impact on them. The repetition of the phrase "양 한 마리 양 두 마리 양 세 마리 양 네 마리" can be seen as a way for the singer to convey their sense of overwhelm and madness caused by their intense emotions.
The final paragraph continues to express the singer's extreme emotions, with their entire body trembling from head to toe. The repetition of "one to ten" and "ABCD" suggests that the singer's emotions are all-encompassing and overpower their entire being. The mention of the uselessness of even the biggest landmarks, such as the East Sea and Mount Baekdu, further emphasizes the depth and intensity of their emotions.
Overall, "X Song" can be interpreted as a passionate plea for someone to understand and reciprocate the singer's intense emotions. The repetition and intensity of the lyrics reflect the overwhelming nature of their feelings, and the references to boundaries and landmarks suggest the singer's desire for the listener to truly comprehend the depth of their emotions.
