This song is for the people who struggle with self-identity and finding a place where they belong to. While society is telling you to embrace yourself and stop comparing yourself to others, you fail to do so. You know you’re all you need but still, you keep pushing yourself and try to find that ideal self, shaped by societal expectations. There are many nights full of self-disappointment and self-doubt. Moments of questioning your past decisions and overthinking them once again. The self-blame for not doing better lingers deeply in your mind and doesn’t leave. In those times of feeling disconnected from the world and failing to see the purpose of your existence, this song becomes a source of comfort. Namjoon makes you feel understood through his lyrics. He sits next to you and tells you that it’s okay to feel lost and lonely. Even though those emotions are often considered as negative, it‘s better to acknowledge the truth instead of pretending to be something you aren’t. Listening to “Uhgood“ feels like Namjoon reaching out, holding your hand, and assuring you that being average on some days is part of the journey toward becoming the best version of yourself. Rainy and dark days don’t define your future. As long as you don’t give up on yourself, you will reach your real self.

Thoughts weren't something I could own. As soon as you wake up in the morning, tell yourself, "I shouldn't think about anything today." As soon as you say that, it's too late. The idea came to mind already! Thoughts just come to mind.
Thought comes out of nothing and goes back to nothing. Like a cloud passing across an empty sky, thoughts only pass, and there is no staying. If you don't believe and stick to ideas as if they're true, the idea itself has no harm. People often say what they think, but in fact no one can control their thoughts. I don't try to be free of thoughts. When I deal with my thoughts with understanding, thoughts liberate me.

We are love. That's a foregone conclusion we can't do anything about. Love is our nature. You don't have to make up a story. When we recognize ourselves as we are, we are filled with 'love' without having to find someone far away. The stories we made up.
In fact, to be honest, you can't love anyone completely. You just love the story you made up about them.

I don't want people to recognize me. I just want everyone to think the way they want to. That's love. Trying to manipulate and change someone is like insulting their mind.
I can't control other people's thoughts on my own. It's you who can't help thinking about yourself. No one can change the course of thought at will. The idea is like a room with countless mirrors. Trying to gain the other person's recognition means being trapped in one mirror: 'This is who I am.' What a trifling restraint.
