ABOUT: “Sweat” looks back on the effort, uncertainty and exhaustion behind TXT’s shared dream, transforming the sweat of difficult days into something worth remembering. Rather than treating those struggles as time they would rather forget, the song imagines a future in which they can look back and recognise how much those experiences - and the people who endured them together - contributed to who they became.
“Sweat” was released on 18 May 2020, the same day as The Dream Chapter: ETERNITY, as a special hidden gift for MOA. Rather than appearing on the album or conventional streaming platforms, fans originally had to discover and unlock the song through a dedicated website. BIGHIT announced it as “a special gift that TOMORROW X TOGETHER crafted just for MOA.”
LYRICS - ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Today we're going through it again
Sweat stains on my back again
Futile struggles weary days
Don’t think about it, just don’t think about it
Even if it’s dank and grimy
It’ll dry off into thin air eventually
So don’t sweat it, don’t worry about it
We don’t have to sweat it, don’t fret about it
My sweat like rain someday we make it rain
My sweat might be worth more than money
Feel it keep pouring
Keep my light twinkling
I’m gonna become a shining star
Believe it believe it (yeah yeah yeah)
Higher higher (hey)
Gonna shine like the star up there
All day let it glimmer brighter
Shine it shine it (yeah yeah yeah)
Higher higher (hey)
Gonna glitter like five bright stars
Like us twinkle ever brighter
Remember the moments we soaked with sweat
To look back on these days when our dream has been met
We can make it with the five of us together
Drench tomorrow and the day after tomorrow with sweat and run farther
You found me lost and became my salvation
Tough times will just be a fond recollection
For your whole life I can be
Right by your side so why worry
We will shine like a star at night
Say yes
My sweat like rain someday we make it rain
My sweat might be worth more than money
Feel it keep pouring
Keep my light twinkling
I’m gonna become a shining star
Believe it believe it (yeah yeah yeah)
Higher higher (hey)
Gonna shine like the star up there
All day let it glimmer brighter
Shine it shine it (yeah yeah yeah)
Higher higher (hey)
Gonna glitter like five bright stars
Like us twinkle ever brighter
From countless stars in the sky
Five stars with five colors gathered here
You and me were different before
Now we’ve become one single star
Beautiful like the moment fireworks burst
The story ends with five stars always together
Want to gather every bead of sweat, your and mine
WORDPLAY: The Korean lyric 너와 내 땀방울들을 모아 means roughly “gathering/collecting your and my beads of sweat.” The word 모아 (moa), meaning “gathering/collecting,” is written identically to MOA (모아), TXT’s fandom name. MOA itself was named around this meaning: TXT and their fans gather pieces of their dreams together to complete one shared dream. In “Sweat,” a song created specifically as a gift for MOA, the wordplay gives the image of gathering “your and my” efforts together an additional significance.
And show them who we are
Believe it believe it (yeah yeah yeah)
Higher higher (hey)
Gonna shine like the star up there
All day let it glimmer brighter
Shine it shine it (yeah yeah yeah)
Higher higher (hey)
Gonna glitter like five bright stars
Like us twinkle ever brighter
