Few Lines from EXO'S Power:

"Don’t hesitate, move on There’s no time Your future depends on your imagination Throw away your fear, we can do it, it’s okay All the keys are in your possession

We got that power power

Through this music

You used to dream even when you weren’t asleep I hope you never forget Today together again Let’s burn it up with fun

When tiring days come, remember babe The beautiful us The power to get up again It’s in you

We got that We got that power power"

Few lines from BTS' Fake Love :

" I’m so sick of this Fake love, fake love, fake love I’m so sorry but it’s Fake love, fake love, fake love

Why you sad? I don’t know, I don’t know Smile, tell me you love me Look at me, I threw myself away Not even you can understand me You say I’m strange when I changed into the person you liked You say I’m not the person you used to know What do you mean? No, I’ve grown blind What do you mean this is love, it’s all fake love"
