The song was the first time (accidentally) teased over a month before the official release, during SEVENTEEN’s YouTube live with Na PD.
It works as DINO’s solo mixtape—the fourth installment of SEVENTEEN’s The Thirteen Tapes (TTT) project, after HOSHI’s “Spider,” WOOZI’s “RUBY,” and VERNON’s “Black...
[디노 "Wait" 가사]
[Verse 1]
One, two, walking on your mind
마음을 향한 걸음마
가까워지는 듯싶을 때
놓쳐버려 all night long
눈망울 waiting (Wait)
주저하며 멈춘 그 모습이
붕 떠버리는 무중력같이
서로의 맘이 가벼워질까 봐
조금 무서워져서
[Pre-Chorus]
더 몰입하고 싶어 너와
물과 물고기의 조화
이루 말할 수가 없잖아
[Chorus]
Please don't tell me "Wait"
(Oh, oh, wait, oh, wait, don't tell me "Wait")
너를 붙잡고 말해 (말해) 우리를 (우리를)
의심하지마 (지마) don't worry (Don't worry)
You and me, 빛나는 이유니까
(Don't tell me "Wait")
Please don't tell me "Wait"
[Verse 2]
따라 주고 받는 rhythm
의심할 여지 없는 기분
분명해 this love, vibe
투명해진 눈망울
Change it
주저하며 멈춘 그 모습이
망설임 속 숨어있는 의미 (Oh)
이미 알잖아 난
이제 기다림이
조금 어려워져서
[Pre-Chorus]
(더 몰입하고파 tonight) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(붓과 물감 같은 조화) Oh, no
이루 말할 수 없잖아, babe
[Chorus]
Please don't tell me wait
(Oh, oh, wait, oh, wait, don't tell me "Wait")
너를 붙잡고 말해 (말해) 우리를 (우리를)
의심하지마 (지마) don't worry (Don't worry)
You and me, 빛나는 이유니까
(Don't tell me "Wait")
[Bridge]
운명이란 선 앞에 서 있는 듯
두려움 없이
널 향한 뜀박질 벼랑 끝에
뜻 모를 어둠이 와도 (Oh-oh)
오직 나는 너니까
So, please don't tell me "Wait"
[Outro]
(Alright, alright, alright) Wait
(Oh, oh, wait, oh, wait)
Don't tell me "Wait"
Wait was written by DINO (디노) & WOOZI (우지) & Ohway! (PRISMFILTER).

It wasn’t that long ago that I started working on songs. I can come up with ideas for things for the verse, pre-chorus, hook—all the parts separately—but it’s still hard for me to see the big picture. But WOOZI’s great at that. He was always good at taking the lead, so when I told him my ideas, he’d...
I told the choreographer Choi Youngjun that I wanted the dance to be fresh and original. We were having a fair amount of trouble with the chorus, so we both laid down, and then I said, ‘I could lie down at the beginning. Maybe that would work?’ And he said, ‘I thought the same thing.’ That’s how it...
