2021年對(G)I-DLE來說是辛苦的一年,團員從原本的六人到後來的五人,而預計在2022年發行的第一張正規專輯對她們來說是最後的機會,因此也將專輯名稱命名為《I NEVER DIE》。事實證明,此張專輯非常的成功,憑藉著〈TOMBOY〉一曲衝進了許多音樂排行榜,證明了他們的實力及價值。
專輯中的收錄曲〈ESCAPE〉為成員Minnie參與作詞作曲,以輕快的曲風唱出心中的孤獨,欲逃離現實生活。這是一首當你想要放棄一切的時候安慰你的歌曲,歌曲一開始Minnie空靈的歌聲搭配優美的旋律,瞬間將我們帶入她的心境,抬頭看著同一片星空,卻不禁紅了眼眶。最後則寫下就算跌倒了也沒關係,因為我會一直陪伴在你身旁。
對(G)I-DLE而言,儘管團體內發生了不少變化,但她們並沒有因此而被打倒,她們毫不退縮地面對,證明了她們的價值。在《I NEVER DIE》專輯中,她們寫下了面對世界偏見的感受和想法,並在〈ESCAPE〉歌曲中,互相扶持鼓勵,一起走過黑夜。
No matter what, they will always make it through, and they will always be here.
Look into the sky
What do you see?
Far distant stars are like your eyes
They're so pretty-y
仰望天空看見了什麼呢?天空中的星星像你的眼睛一樣如此美麗。
Shined under the moonlight, uncovering the darkness
You just look so beautiful
So please smile, like right now
Don't cry, I don't want you to be sad
月光下閃耀著揭開黑暗,你是如此的美麗,所以請就像現在這樣微笑著,不要哭泣。
Shaded time, every lonely night
Don't endure it alone, just take my hand
I like the sound of laughter better than crying
Baby, I'll take you there
時光陰暗,每一個孤獨的夜晚,不要獨自忍受,牽起手,我帶你去那裡。
I'll take you anywhere
I'm coming with you, you
You, you, you
I'm running without any thoughts
I'll run with you, run with you, you
I'll be right by your side
和你一起帶你去任何地方,和你一起毫無思緒地奔跑,我會一直在你身旁。
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Evеn if I fall again
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, it's okay
You can put it down for a bit
即使再次跌倒也沒關係,可以休息一會兒。
It's supposed to be a hard dеal for everyone
As if I'm being fussy
I looked at you and thought if I could just endure it
Throw it away, It's too much for me
Do you want to be happy at this moment?
Even if you are late, will you stop for a bit and rest?
I have to take responsibility for the reality and future life
I don't know, in times like this I escape to you
這對每個人來說都應該是困難的事情,好像我很固執,看著你想著是否能夠繼續承受,對我來說太難了想把它拋棄。想在這一刻快樂嗎?即使太遲了,會停下來休息一下嗎?但我必須面對現實和未來生活,我不知道該不該在這時逃向你。
Shaded time every lonely night
Don't endure it alone, just take my hand
I like the sound of laughter better than crying
Baby, I'll take you there
時光陰暗,每一個孤獨的夜晚,不要獨自忍受,牽起手,我帶你去那裡。
I'll take you anywhere
I'm coming with you, you
You, you, you
I'm running without any thoughts
I'll run with you, run with you, you
I'll be right by your side
和你一起帶你去任何地方,和你一起毫無思緒地奔跑,我會一直在你身旁。
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Even if I fall again
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, it's okay
You can put it down for a bit
即使再次跌倒也沒關係,可以休息一會兒。
When everything feels like a mess
Always remember today, alright
I'll always be by your side
當一切都感覺亂七八糟時,永遠記住今天好嗎,我會永遠在你身旁。
I'll take you anywhere
I'm coming with you, you
You, you, you
I'm running without any thoughts
I'll run with you, run with you, you
I'll be right by your side
和你一起帶你去任何地方,和你一起毫無思緒地奔跑,我會一直在你身旁。
