The lyrics of ZE:A's song "Step by Step" depict the struggle of an individual trying to cope with life's challenges all by himself. Kevin starts the song by saying that he sees movies, eats, and walks alone. Dongjun and Hyungsik then join in with a confession that they sometimes wonder if anyone can hear their hearts beating. Siwan questions if the girl he loves can see into his heart, Kwanghee expresses how his heart is about to burst because of his feelings, and Dongjun says that every day he struggles but wishes to take just one step forward.
Minwoo then takes over and talks about how he wants to learn everything about the girl he loves, and if he holds her hand, they could go anywhere together. He also wants to experience different things with her and share his life with her. Taehoon highlights how small their differences are and how he wants to be with his partner despite that. Finally, Heechul says that he only wants the girl he loves, and he doesn't need to look for anyone else, he wants to change for her, and he just wants to be with her. The chorus echoes that they take it one step at a time, growing closer every time.
Overall, the lyrics of "Step by Step" suggest that even though we might feel alone, we are never truly alone, and taking one step at a time brings us closer to what we want out of life, love, and relationships.
