About the Song
《Midnight Fantasy》 immerses listeners in a world of dreamy allure and nocturnal desire within SUPER JUNIOR‘s evolving sound, exploring the intoxicating pull of a fantasy that comes alive only after dark. Released in 2007 as part of their second full-length album Don’t Don under SM Entertainment, the song shifts away from bold declarations and raw emotion, instead embracing mystery, seduction, and the hypnotic atmosphere of midnight reverie. Rather than clarity or restraint, 《Midnight Fantasy》 dwells in the blurred space between reality and imagination, positioning SUPER JUNIOR as artists capable of crafting enchanting soundscapes filled with intrigue, sensuality, and irresistible allure.

When I see you, my heart skips a beat. I’m preparing myself to confess my feelings. Meeting you feels like a stroke of luck, and I never thought I’d fall this deep. You’re like a sweet candy I can’t let go of, and I’m done with unrequited love. Oh, love, you’re truly beautiful, and my heart has never trembled like this before. Tonight, my heart is lost in a midnight fantasy.

How can I get closer to you? I wonder if it would be okay to keep catching your gaze. Tonight again, I’m lost in a midnight fantasy. I can’t help but keep looking at you, even if you have someone else. The day you smile at me, I’ll tell you I love you and that I’ll hold you close. Yes, I’m watching you.

Yes, I can sense it and know a lot of things. Even if you’re someone else’s girl, it’s okay. I like it even if I have to be patient. I know love can bring pain, but I’ve already fallen for you. From the moment I first saw you, I don’t know how much time has passed since then, but every night, my heart is in a midnight fantasy. I can’t help but keep looking at you, even if you have someone else.

I know love can bring pain, but I’ve already fallen for you. I’ve fallen so deep that I can’t escape. Even I find this side of me unfamiliar. No matter what happens or how much time passes, I’ll protect you and hold my breath for you. I want to dream with you forever.

Now, I’ll place my heart beside you.
