About the Song
《Fast Pace (빠른 걸음)》 brings a smooth and sophisticated energy to SEVENTEEN, featured on Seventeen 3rd Mini Album ’Going Seventeen’. Composed by Keeproots, WOOZI, and Seo Jeong Jin, with lyrics by S.COUPS, Vernon, WOOZI, and Hoshi, and arrangement by Keeproots and Seo Jeong Jin, the track moves with a refined rhythm and a quietly tense emotional pull. Its Korean title means “fast pace,” and 《Fast Pace》 captures the feeling of being swept forward by desire, timing, and emotion, turning SEVENTEEN’s sleek performance style into something mature, stylish, and deeply atmospheric.

Yo, S.COUPS
Walking ahead, looking back, measuring the distance between us
Walking indifferently, but matching steps
In the familiarity, boredom accompanies
We are walking
Not denying the end of this long tunnel

It’s not fun
Even if we make plans, I don’t look forward to it
Warmth overflows
Excitement has melted away uh
Even so, it’s too wasteful
To let go of all the time we’ve spent man
When we meet, awkwardness again
Your steps unnecessarily quicken, why?

🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation
The lyrics depict the painful realization of a fading romance where the physical and emotional distance between two lovers expands uncontrollably. Using walking speed as a metaphor for their growing detachment, the narrator describes how their shared warmth has frozen over into a stale, obligatory habit. Ultimately, it emphasizes an inevitable relational dissolution and sorrow, tracing how comfortable familiarity deteriorates into an awkward barrier while highlighting the failing emotional synchronicity and a helpless passive surrender as they drift apart.
