A lot of people forget that originally when Taeyong was writing YESTODAY, he wanted it to be performed by him and Doyoung. Because he felt Doyoung was the perfect partner to convey this song's story and emotion. Yeah, the others did AMAZING for it, but we seem to forget Taryong's original vision for the song.

the way doyoung's voice fits perfectly after taeyong's rap and the smooth transition--- I'll never get over it

This chorus is so satisfying to listen to. Doyoung suits it perfectly dayyyyym 5.5 k likes. I thought i was stating the obvious lol

The most underrated and underappriciated nct song. To those who are here in 2024, you have an amazing taste in music :))

this is easily one of nct's most underrated songs ever the aesthetics, the music, the lyrics, the vocals, the rapping, and the visuals are all so perfect

For those who came after NCT 2020, this song was written by Taeyong with Doyoung in mind for singing this song as a duet. This song reflected Taeyong's struggle as a trainee. SM included both Mark and Lucas in Empathy album, but many NCT fans, understandably, want to see Dotae sing this song as originally wished by Taeyong.

I know there're lots of people coming here after NCT World teaser to listen to this masterpiece. Doyoung's vocal need to be regconised

DOYOUNG'S "BROKEN HEART" WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAV PART ㅠ♡

That part where he goes "Sorry that I walked away" hits different.

More than a year has passed and Doyoung's "I'm sorry that I walked away" still hitting me

sadly this is nct's underappreciated gem

This song was made for Doyoung's voice and I can see why, his parts is the most iconic even if most of the song is rap Doyoung makes it perfect with his vocals

This is underrated and NCT is underappreciated. They deserve better.

Doyoung's voice gives me literal chills

A rant I’m sorry: Taeyong is such a talented man, he suffered so much before his debut, was hated on, and now is the leader of 20 (well 9 other boys). He pours everything into the lyrics that HE writes, yet is now hated because of line distribution and many don’t like his rap style. I hope he gets the hug he deserves and realizes we all adore him so so so much. Lucas, funny and optimistic has always been pushed under as someone who is nothing else/is shallow. He is the reason I discovered this incredible group and I hope he slays in WayV and continues to be the happy talented goofy ball of hope that he is (stream coffee) Mark Lee, where do I begin. He’s so young, so overworked, so talented, and is the object of hate to so many. Many clown him because his English isn’t as good as what it was (because he rarely uses it and left Canada at such a young age) or because they think he’s not good enough to be in three units, or because he takes up everyone else’s lines. He’s a young growing boy, and he’s actually the sweetest person ever, so please be nice to him, he’s aware of what the fans say and he deserves much better than this. And last but not least, Kim Dongyoung, the only vocalist ever, the most caring, most amazing, most woke guy, he is my FAVORITE vocalist in kpop and his voice gives me chills. He’s beautiful and confident and I hope nothing stops him from being so. These members are barely a 5th of NCT and I could go on and on and on about the rest because they all deserve the world, but I’ll cut it short and say stan NCT because they are 21 (super underrated, can’t believe this video is still under 10 mil, and that not a single video of NCT’s has crossed a hundred million ;( ) absolutely hilarious and insanely talented young men. I absolutely 💚 them.

We miss empathy era the most - The certain switch up era of 127 and Dreamies - That legendary Vlive where they introduced Lucas and Jungwoo for the first time - The most aesthetic photoshoot of empathy album Reality Version - This album is where Yuta got his nickname healing smile - Jisung leading his 17 hyungs in Black On Black Center - Jaemin coming back from his Hiatus - that mysterious apple juice incident of boss unit - Doyoung wholeheartedly explaining NCTs concept to the world - this era bought Baby don’t stop - Haechan almost burning the kitchen We all misses Empathy era the most 💚 And just wished that OT23 will reunite soon

“YESTODAY” coined a new word by combining ‘yesterday’ and ‘today’ in English, meaning ‘today to become yesterday.’ The individual rap by TAEYONG, MARK, and LUCAS are combined with the sad vocals by DOYOUNG while the lyrics deal with regrets for the past wrongdoings and compassion, and sending a message that everything will pass just like yesterday. TAEYONG and MARK participating in writing the lyrics to tell their autobiographical story to make the listeners more immersed into the track.

this song was made for doyoung

Yestoday is such a masterpiece : Taeyong's lyrics, Mark's flow, Doyoung' melancholy when he sings, Lucas iconic verse, the beautiful and colorful mv never fail to move me. It's the song that got me into nct, and still my favorite. If I had to tattoo a song it would be this one

Hope we can finally see Taeyong and Doyoung perform this someday

Even the title is deep: YES-TODAY, when pronounced all together, sounded like "yesterday" (which means they are still acknowledging the past), but when looked closer, it is "yes today" (even though the past is there, they have moved on and accepted who they are in the present). They did not let the past define who they are, and they will always embrace their present self. (this is my own analysis lmao plz don't roast)

friendly reminder that taeyong wrote this song with doyoung's voice in mind

For those who wonder, at 3:08, the french texts say : "Don't forget to love yourself" Another one in which the main word is cropped out... "Do not forget... he who seeks the moon doesn't notice the stars" (Black text) "Live without any regrets" (Green text)

doyoung has one of the most unique and prettiest voice in kpop

sm should stop being a coward and put subs on nct's (and other groups') mvs, especially this, bc the lyrics are beautiful

*Lucas:* Do you think about me too? *Me:* Everyday at every second

This is so underappreciated, it's sad...

내가 엔시티 입덕한 곡 도영이 목소리가 진짜 허스키 하면서 부드러운 목소리로 리듬감이ㅜ살아있는 마크의 랩이 잘 어울리는 곡이다

If a song was a safe place... And I meant that. I'm home here.

Do you think about me too? Do you always cry? When it rains When the pains come in shame When the fame is a jade and I’m born to be made But the cost of the fade I’ve got quickly to shade Ever quickly to hate burning like a serenade Burning like my hurricanes When you said it was wrong Even if there is a right Now I can only dream about you holding me tight Can you hold me tight? *Lucas's rap-*

I hope Taeyong goes through and reads all the good comments we leave. Yes we are a savage fan base and make memes, but I want him to understand that his work is really paying off. I want all of NCT to understand how much we appreciate them for even existing. We understand it gets tough, and it's a long ass ride, but I am proud to say I am never ever disappointed with NCT. Cheers boys x.

이 노래 도영이 ㄹㅈㄷ 찍음 진짜 목소리 미쳤다 도영아ㅠㅠㅜㅠ

Doyoung's singing capabilities really went up a notch! So proud of him like he really added a lot more depth to this song,how he makes it seem a lot more melancholic in a way whenever he starts saying "broken heart"

Taeyong worked on this for four years, this was recorded for two years, and had five diff versions. Thank you for not giving up on this and on yourself Taeyong. You’ve been through a lot but you made art out of your pain and that is beautiful. Yestoday is such a gem in the empathy album.

Still can't move on from this. Not everything in music has to be deep. But THIS is deep. Without even understanding the lyrics, you can hear the wistfulness...the regrets in the sound, in the way they sung and rapped. But it isn't really sad. It sounds more like acceptance. And if you look at the translation, you'll fully understand why. They sing of uncertainties and mistakes of the past, and the sacrifices that they had to make in order to get to where they are today. This is truly a gem in their discography.

DOYOUNG voice just hit different here.....

THE MV IS LITERALLY A WORK OF ART ESPECIALLY DOYOUNG'S PART i just realized that rhymed

Manager: aight, when you perform this live, you gotta have some real emotions Lucas: **thinks about how he's not allowed in Dream** Lucas: **breaks down on stage**

NCT has so many incredibly underrated tracks like this that my heart hurts. This is quality music not getting recognition it deserves.

I know nobody is perfect but Doyoung’s voice screams perfection

WHY THIS BOP IS SO UNDERRATED?! Like fr ik this song was written by Taeyong and it's really meaningful to him but aside that Doyoung's vocals are no joke that's why he's my fave vocalist in nct and Luca's rap in English wtf my wig was totally SNATCHED, the boy knows how to rap his skills are mazing I don't understand why some people can't see it. Wbk Mark and Taeyong are amazing but damn Lucas give this boy more lines.

Yestoday is really *THAT* song in empathy. It'll honestly put u into an emotional wreck as soon as Taeyong started rapping his story, followed by Doyoung's melodic vocals, then Mark & Lucas' rap parts, & ends w/ DY's vocals again. A masterpiece art.

DOYOUNG IS THE MOST TALENTED PRINCE IN THE WORLD OMG

One of the many songs why i thought NCT was the best thing to happen to K-pop in a while. This song ticks every box and deserves more than 16m views

*Fact: Taeyong wrote this song on the experiences of his struggles he had when he was a trainee. He was thinking about Doyoung to sing this song but Mark and Lucas were added afterwards. No wonder all four of them carried the legacy of this song.* *And dear Taeyong get well soon. We love you

* takes deep breath * *DO YOU THINK ABOUT ME TOO DO YOU ALWAYS CRY WHEN IT RAINS WHEN THE PAINS COME IN SHAME WHEN THE FAME IS A JADE AND IM BORN TO BE MADE BUT THE COST OF THE FADE IVE QUICKLY TO SHADE EVER QUICKLY TO HATE BURNING LIKE A SERENADE BURNING LIKE MY HURRICANES WHEN YOU SAID IT WAS WRONG EVEN IF THEY IS A RIGHT NOW I CAN ONLY DREAM ABOUT YOU HOLDING ME TIGHT* * breathes out heavily *

Taeyong - Lyric King Mark - Flow King lucas - Burger King

태용이 랩이 가장 기억에 남아요 앞 부분 랩과 곡의 비트때문에 계속 들으러 오게 되네요.. 가사도 너무 좋고 이 노래를 왜 늦게야 알았는지ㅠㅠㅠ도영이 노래도 정말 듣기 좋고 이 노래 전체가 좋네요 뿐만아니라 독특하고도 아련한 느낌이 느껴져 좋아요

unpopular opinion: this is the best nct song

"Do you think about me too?" Is that a trick question pls

I love how we all collectively agree this is Doyoung's song

6 years later and this song is still fire! I really miss NCT U old units..Those songs are golden

We all gotta respect Mark for being in nct. 156 was a bus in Vancouver that (I think) led straight to the local university. He gave up his fucking dream of going to college for us. He gave up his future in education. He gave it up for a new future, traded yesterday for his new 156. *_he gave it up for us. for ncity._*

Back to say that Doyoung's vocals are no joke

MARK- BOSS, GO, TOUCH, YESTODAY TAEYONG - BOSS, BABY DON'T STOP, TOUCH, YESTODAY DOYOUNG - BOSS, TOUCH, YESTODAY

don't be shy, drop another masterpiece like this

doyoung’s vocals hit _DIFFERENT_ especially the “sorry that i walked away”

I never realized how much I needed curly haired Doyoung till now

Saw this on Twitter and I feel like I need to share it.. do you all know that a symbolism of A PARROT IN A DREAM is that you'll be a victim of gossip and the parrots represents the opinions that may affect you in a certain way and notice how Taeyong was the one surrounded by parrots? this song really hits home for taeyong, and I'm just so proud of him for sharing his personal feelings, for having the courage to share this to us cause we all know he had a hard time back then and I'm really so fcking proud of him

2024년에도 듣고있는 사람~~~~~~~~~~~ 일단 나

Who's here after Doyoung sang the acoustic version ?

The way doyoung sings “ey, ey, ey” has got me feeling some type of way

Lucas eng rap and taeyong we understand your feelings. Thanks for making a song relatable!! Love to mark and doyoung

We’ll never see Mark Taeyong and Lucas rapping together again and that breaks my heart. The amount of potential they had, man.

english lyrics (warning: sad): Shoved and pushed around Filled with all these empty moments Not feeling anymore now In the midst of an abyss I’m sorry for yesterday But today’s me doesn’t know you There were many times Where I’ve been shoved and pushed around Where I’ve been shoved and pushed around Yo now I’ve got a lot of importance Just like nylon Like I’ve become a thin film That grows and covers the world Karma’s on my neck An obstacle’s blocking me I need the courage to break through And wake me up from this dream I’m the right one for this Grow up grow up grow up Now I’ve got to change this color bar Burn out The short dream that changed Was the clearest one And let me tell you why I have been looking for my job lately Cause I had no dream maybe There were a lot of chances that made me realize my situation I don’t want to be ignored and disregarded but I act like I do All of my problem, now that I’ve moved away from you The world outside is so different from what I imagined inside My exhausted mind and soul Somehow you always tried to drag those days away I wondered how can you be so strong uh I was been busy filling up with greed But I’ve lost a lot Being alone was the only way, I could feel a sense of security I used to put faith in it Bad habits burn out, the belief that it was a choice Doesn’t that make you weak? Throw away yesterday’s you and me It made me be the person who I am today Don’t killing my vibe cause this is me Broken heart oh even if it hurts a lot The story that we can’t go back to again This short dream oh your memories Today that can’t ever be forgotten If everything is tomorrow then yesterday Okay back inside my 156 bus Kinda feel like thinking back Time passes by so fast I remember the time When we tossed our lives just like wishing coins Boy didn’t know a lot, I think I’m still the same I’m still searching for my galaxy, still don’t know my screen Drowning in looks that are getting worse Getting more spotlight than sunlight everyday Makes me think about how Rap is my new 156 For the future traded yesterday If memories made me Then we make today I hope you like it where I’m now Broken heart oh even if it hurts a lot The story that we can’t go back to again This short dream oh your memories Today that can’t ever be forgotten If everything is tomorrow then yesterday Do you think about me too? Do you always cry? When it rains When the pains come in shame When the fame is a jade and I’m born to be made But the cost of the fade I’ve got quickly to shade Ever quickly to hate burning like a serenade Burning like my hurricanes When you said it was wrong Even if there is a right Now I can only dream about you holding me tight Can you hold me tight? Broken heart oh even if I try to let you go The story was carved deep inside my heart This short dream oh past memories The moments that won’t ever be forgotten My precious yesterday Tomorrow then yesterday Sorry that I walked away Tomorrow then yesterday My precious yesterday

The busiest year for NCT. Stay strong gaissss

Honestly I am very proud of Taeyong. Everytime I see him on stage there’s this aura around him that attracts people towards him. He has been through so much that he himself becomes self conscious of his acts. You can actually see that he never really hope for taking the first place in music charts cuz to him being on stage with his members is enough for him. Like seriously this guy deserves the whole world.

나만 이때엔시티너무그립냐.. 그냥엔시티그자체가장르야

As an old nctzen, this makes me sad that most new nctzens don't know this song

Alone in my own box, filled with all these empty moments Not feeling anymore now In the midst of an abyss I'm sorry for yesterday, but today's me doesn't know you There were many times Where I've been shoved and pushed around, shoved and pushed around Yo, now I've got a lot of importance just like Nylon Like I've becomes a thin film that grows and covers the world Karma's on my neck An obstacle's blocking me I need the courage through and wake me up from this dream I'm the right one for this Grow up Yeah, grow up, grow up Now I've got to change this color bar Burn up The short dream that changed was the clearest one And let me tell you why I have been looking for my job lately Cause I have no dream, may be There were a lot of chances, that mad me realize my situation I don't want to be ignored and disregarded but I act like I do All of my problem, now that I've moved away from you The world outside is so different from what I imagined inside My exhausted mind and soul Somehow you always tried to drag those days away I wondered how can you be so strong, uh I was been busy filling up with greed, but I've lost a lot Being alone was the only way I could feel a sense of security I used to put faith in it, bad habits burn out The belief that it was a choice Doesn't that make you weak? Throw away yesterdays you and me It made me be the person who I am today Don't killing my vibe Cause this is me

Doyoung is saving us ALL

criminally underrated

Did someone say "No" today? Well I say "Yes" today _--Mark 2k18_

99% COMMENT SECTION ABOUT PRAISING AND GIVE ENCOURAGE TO TAEYONG WELL HERE I AM CRYING YOU DID VERY WELL LEE TAEYONG!!! WE ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU

I think that the MV is a reflection of their dreams through the members subconscious mind. In the MV they each have an animal that mean something it seen in a dream. •Doyoung Swimming fish which could mean your subconscious mind is trying to give you a insight on your regular life. Doyoung represents the subconscious mind of all the members in the MV. Doyoung lyrics "Broken heart oh, even if it hurts a lot The story that can't go back again" meaning the emotions of past actions you remember but you can't relive them realistically •Taeyong A Parrot which means victim of gossip. (Taeyong is the member who is judged by many because of his past) Also He says "Karmas on my neck" and "I use to pit my faith in bad habits" Meaning he is reflecting on his past actions. •Mark A Lizard which represents confidence and capability. (So far Mark as been in ever NCT unit so he is capable) He is also reflecting on his past and how his childhood is gone.He says "I remember the time when we tossed our lives just like wishing coins" •Lucas A Butterfly which represents change and transformation. I think that he is speaking about the future His lyrics "Do you think about me too" could mean do you still remember me. Also "When the fame is a jade" Jade- "weary or worn out" I think he is saying when all the fame is gone will people still love him when the fame fades in the future.

그토록 소중하다고 느껴졌던 시간도 오늘이 지나면 어제가 될 뿐이니까 현재를 즐겨야 함을 새삼 깨닫고 가는

I really want to hear Taeyong and Doyoung singing this song. I want to actually hear and see Taeyongs original vision of the song

Lucas is g-l-o-w-i-n-g

*Yestoday* I have been looking for my job lately Cause I had no dream maybe There were a lot of chances that made me realize my situation I don’t want to be ignored and disregarded but I act like I do All of my problem, now that I’ve moved away from you The world outside is so different from what I imagined inside My exhausted mind and soul Somehow you always tried to drag those days away I wondered how can you be so strong uh I was been busy filling up with greed But I’ve lost a lot Being alone was the only way, I could feel a sense of security I used to put faith in it Bad habits burn out, the belief that it was a choice Doesn’t that make you weak? Throw away yesterday’s you and me It made me be the person who I am today Don’t killing my vibe cause this is me Broken heart oh even if it hurts a lot The story that we can’t go back to again This short dream oh your memories Today that can’t ever be forgotten If everything is tomorrow then yesterday Okay back inside my 156 bus Kinda feel like thinking back ,Time passes by so fast I remember the time When we tossed our lives just like wishing coins Boy didn’t know a lot, I think I’m still the same I’m still searching for my galaxy, still don’t know my screen Drowning in looks that are getting worse Getting more spotlight than sunlight everyday Makes me think about how Rap is my new 156 For the future traded yesterday If memories made me ,Then we make today I hope you like it where I’m now Broken heart oh even if it hurts a lot The story that we can’t go back to again This short dream oh your memories Today that can’t ever be forgotten If everything is tomorrow then yesterday Do you think about me too? Do you always cry? When it rains When the pains come in shame When the fame is a jade and I’m born to be made But the cost of the fade I’ve got quickly to shade Ever quickly to hate burning like a serenade Burning like my hurricanes When you said it was wrong Even if there is a right Now I can only dream about you holding me tight Can you hold me tight? Broken heart oh even if I try to let you go The story was carved deep inside my heart This short dream oh past memories The moments that won’t ever be forgotten My precious yesterday Tomorrow then yesterday Sorry that I walked away Tomorrow then yesterday My precious yesterday *Thank me later

LUCAS!!! My forever favorite!!! Love 2:35 !!! ❤️❤️❤️

Bias: Taeyong Bias wrecker: Taeyong

Doyoungs 'I'm sorry that I walked away' gets me all the time...

The fact that taeyong wrote this legendary song based on his experiences while keeping doyoung in his mind to sing together

doyoung voice really shines here I don't think anyone else could have sing yestoday like that, it's just perfect in vocal tone, in emotions and feeling. I can't stop listening to Doyoung’s part

ARE YALL SEEING HOW GOOD DOYOUNG LOOKS?!

OMG LUCASSSSSSS

Who's here visiting again because of nct world 2.0?

Doyoung’s voice, whole enter to heaven

Taeyong's voice is so crisp.

DOYOUNG IS SO GORGEOUS HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE

I'm sorry but Doyoung's voice... is it how heaven sounds like?

The most underrated masterpiece from NCT.

The birds symbolize them, looking beautiful and having the freedom of flying, but also being stuck in cages and being admired. Nct big brain.

Taeyong spend 4 years to write this song. GOOD JOB TAEYONG💖

“Broken hearts oh...” that’s my fav part Doyoungs vocals are heaven

I want another song like this😭

TY wrote a masterpiece and him, Mark, Doyoung, and Lucas delivered it so well. *MARK LEE'S SELF-WRITTEN RAP STILL GETS ME EVERYTIME*

For those who complain about Taeyong having so many lines would you please read the lyrics and be acknowledged that THIS IS A SONG HE HAD BEEN WRITING FOR 4 YEARS AND THE WHOLE THING IS ABOUT HIM. He has done a great job here and I hope all of you appreciate his lyrics because it does mean a lot to him.

DOYOUNGS VOICE IS EVERYTHING OMGGGGGGGG

this is nct’s hidden gem. the way taeyong’s rap just flows into doyoungs vocals is just UGH so perfect and that “sorry that i walked away” just hits different
