[Chorus: Vernon]
You know, without you, I'm so lonely
When you're not here, 911 calling
Into your heat again, I'm diving
Darling, you, darling, you, baby
[Verse 1: Wonwoo, Mingyu]
(Mm) Fighting 'round in circles, where is the way out?
(Mm) 'Cause I know that our love was hotter than the Sun
Yeah, the taste of this tequila I'm drinking now
Isn't bitter than my heart
[Pre-Chorus: Dino, DK, WOOZI]
(If you know this)
I want to know our problem, blood type, or DNA
(If you know this)
Friends see my feed and worry, do you, babe? Yeah
Been waiting for your call every night
But I can't wait no more
Dialing you-u-u, sorry, darling, you
[Chorus: Joshua, Hoshi]
You know, without you, I'm so lonely
When you're not here, 911 calling
Into your heat again, I'm diving
Darling, you, darling, you, baby
You know, without you, I'm so lonely
If you won't be here, 911 calling
Falling to you, I'm always diving
Darling, you, darling, you, baby
[Verse 2: Jun, S.COUPS, Wonwoo]
Darling, with me under the Sun
I know that you're my one
I don't wanna let you go
I can't think of being alone
What am I supposed to do-o-o-o-o?
And I gotta let you know
You got my heart like it's yours
Don't wanna say goodbye
[Pre-Chorus: THE 8, SeungKwan, S.COUPS]
(If you know this)
I want to know our problem, blood type, or DNA
(If you know this)
Friends see my feed and worry, do you, babe? Yeah
Been waiting for your call every night
But I can't wait no more
Dialing you-u-u, sorry, darling, you
[Chorus: WOOZI, Jeonghan]
You know, without you, I'm so lonely
When you're not here, 911 calling
Into your heat again, I'm diving
Darling, you, darling, you, baby
You know, without you, I'm so lonely
If you won't be here, 911 calling
Falling to you, I'm always diving
Darling, you, darling, you
[Bridge: THE 8, Jun, Mingyu, (Dino), Joshua, *Vernon*]
I see you, you see me
I care for you, you care for me
We can be all we need
Promise I won't take you for granted, never
I'ma treat you better (I'ma treat you better)
I'ma see you better (I'ma see you better)
So honey, now come into my arms, yeah
Kiss me, baby
*Kiss me, baby*
[Chorus: DK, SeungKwan]
You know, without you, I'm so lonely
When you're not here, 911 calling
Into your heat again, I'm diving
You know, without you, I'm so lonely
If you won't be here, 911 calling
Falling to you, I'm always diving
Darling, you, darling, you, baby

It’s like a gift to our [fandom] CARATS, because all our international fans, even though they may not understand Korean, love us for who we are and love our music so much, so we just wanted to make a song they can easily listen to and understand.
The plus sign placed in front of ‘ing’ in the title represents the ‘ongoingness’ of our relationship with Seventeen and our fandom, called CARATS.

‘Darling’ is the keyword for the song, so I wanted to make a song that is very easy to listen to and a song that is very comforting. For that, I focused a lot on voicing work.
