About: 'Wishlist’ brings a light-hearted, upbeat energy to the album, capturing the excitement and nervousness of fulfilling someone’s wishes, especially on a special occasion like a birthday. Blending youthful enthusiasm with a genuine desire to make loved ones feel cherished, the song emphasizes the importance of connection and the vulnerability that comes with celebrating someone else’s happiness. It reflects the longing to hold onto precious connections during times of change- both in the context of COVID-19 and the often-bittersweet moments of adolescence. Fitting into Minisode 1’s themes of nostalgia and longing, ‘Wishlist’ underscores the boys’ navigation of physical and emotional distances, making it a resonant anthem of youthful friendship, relationships and hope.

Please tell me now
(Tell me now)
It’s harder than an exam
Understanding your heart
I’ve been searching all day
Your feed on the timeline
(What do you like?)
The question mark, please remove it for me
“Guess”, you keep pretending not to know
Why do you keep laughing?
Time is flowing by
I stay up all night again today
Where in the world did you hide it?
Tell me the secret
Say now! Say now! Oh yeah
Say now! Say now!
Please tell me now
Time’s up, give me your wishlist
Tell me your birthday wish
Say now! Say now! Oh yeah
Say now! Say now!
Please tell me now
A useful something?
No, pretty trash
How about romantic?
I can’t make a guess
(What’s the best present?)
A wishlist that I've filled up in my phone
Suddenly everything becomes meaningful
A treasure box filled with a star called you
Is overflowing in my heart
Now I'll send it to you
Where in the world did you hide it?
Tell me the secret
Say now! Say now! Oh yeah
Say now! Say now!
Please tell me now
Time’s up, give me your wishlist
Tell me your birthday wish
Say now! Say now! Oh yeah
Say now! Say now!
Please tell me now
Oh oh oh oh
Been waiting for your birthday
My heart flutters for your birthday
Oh oh oh oh
Tell me what’s your wish, yeah
Tell me what’s your wish, yeah
Oh oh oh oh
Been waiting for your birthday
My heart flutters for your birthday
Oh oh oh oh
Tell me what’s your wish, yeah
Tell me what’s your wish, yeah
Rather than getting it all wrong
I might just confess
I like you
Where in the world did you hide it?
Tell me the secret
Say now! Say now! Oh yeah
Say now! Say now!
Please tell me now
Time’s up, give me your wishlist
Tell me your birthday wish
Say now! Say now! Oh yeah
Say now! Say now!
Please tell me now
