It looks like some clips from the previous teaser were used/just extended upon in this one, but OMG it’s 30 secsss of sexiness! I’m personally a bit disappointed that there seems to be a lack of storyline in the MV, or at least from what can be seen from the teaser anyways.
Although the ‘stories’ in MVs aren’t usually very elaborate regardless, I think they still make the video more enjoyable to watch and is a better experience when you can portray the lyrics in a visual manner. There’s certainly a lot of potential for some sort of storyline with The Boys, and hopefully it’s just not revealed since it’s a teaser video. I hope this isn’t a trend SM is starting since Mr. Taxi – Yes, the girls can make anything into eye candy, but we know SM can do better. It’s still too early to call the shots, but in the mean time, this teaser is on repeat..
SNSD Korean 
has the final English teaser not come out yet?

woops, was in a hurry; thanks, I’ve added it to the post!
Both English & Korean teaser are out. 😀
Now we just have to wait for the MV~
wow this is really it……yaaaaaaaaaa…..its the new form of our soshi ^_^….it’s so cool 😛 love it so much SNSD for-ever ^_^
I agree with this person 100%.
“Hi.. i hope you dont mind if i reply.. i think their concept photos are basically showing images of women who play damsels in distress.. but as was pointed out before.. they made a twist with it.. meaning these iconic characters are no longer damsels in distress.. in the new generation.. girls are empowered.. to put it in soshi’s words.. GIRLS BRING THE BOYS OUT..! hehe”
joannejusay
now we can only desperately wait for oct 19th. =(
“I’m personally a bit disappointed that there seems to be a lack of storyline in the MV, or at least from what can be seen from the teaser anyways”
I’m afraid what you thought will happen … I feel the same too.
It also happened when SM releases the MV teasers for “Mr. Taxi” and “Bad Girl”.
Good songs, but poor MVs. No storyline, just dance, dance, and dance.
I’m afraid all of their recent songs will not memorable enough since no storyline in it.
Just compare it with “Gee” and “Oh!”. The storyline is simple, but it enhances our feelings of the song.
“Although the ‘stories’ in MVs aren’t usually very elaborate regardless, I think they still make the video more enjoyable to watch and is a better experience when you can portray the lyrics in a visual manner.”
I’m totally agree with you. A MV without storyline will be so dull and boring. At least give us a little of it.
Is there any way SM read or response to what SONEs think in this blog or other similar fansites?
Some of the girls sound really different in english. 😮
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought so! In their Korean and Japanese songs, I usually recognize each of their voices. But while listening to the teasers (especially English ones) I have no idea who it is.
just bring on the full deal already…it’s so close, yet seem so far.
ahhhh im excited! cant wait for the full release. 19th come faster phueeze~ 😀
The 6 teasers have had more than 10m views between them 0_0
I’m not liking it… at all. The song is bad, the choreography is too sexy (and not in a good way) and again no storyline in the MV (I agree with everything greeentee and Microbot said).
Yeah, I know I’m being bitter but I’m really disappointed with this new song/MV. It has nothing that made me fall in love with SNSD in the first place and everything that makes me hate the current US pop music…
I hope that the final MV and performances will change my mind, but as for now I’m only having hopes for the other songs in the album (specially those that have nothing to do with this Teddy Riley guy).
Thanks Shalnark. Me too, I’m agree with you.
I used to be a fan of US pop music too, but it was a long time ago.
I personally don’t like US hip hop or R&B music nowadays.
I think most of the songs and the performers just look the same. Nothing unique, nothing distinctive.
What make me fall in love with SNSD (of course, beside their cute and good-lookings) is their catchy songs and good style/image.
Now I’m afraid this Teddy Riley guy try to mess up too much with our girls.
I’m more afraid if this kind of trend keep going, slowly our girls legacy will erode.
I just don’t want our girls turn into something else.
Let’s pray that this highly-antcipated album have something more and better to offer.
greentee, I agree with you..
I want a story for this one! I mean, Gee and Oh! both has a story..
And so is RDR..
But I don’t know, The Boys may have a story line too. Maybe SM is just not revealing the story in the teasers 😉
I love SoShi, but I think their producers are trying to “Americanize” the girls too much: the overly sexy image/choreography and English lyrics is completely different from how they normally are. I’m American, but I personally like the Korean version of the song better, lols.
Agreed. I think even the Korean version is a bit too “Americanized”. The lyrics you hear in the teaser are so reminiscent of popular American songs. Personally I don’t like mainstream American music which is why I tend to move more toward Korean music so I’m a bit drawn back by the teaser
I loved their cuter and more innocent songs. Even when they had a “sexy” image you could still tell it was the cute SNSD girls underneath but this I think takes it a bit too far
We’ll see what happens in the actual MV.
I feel the same way. Listening to the English version, the lyrics sound awkward and and superficial; it’s like cookie-cutter American hip-hop/pop. Overly-sexual girl groups/performers are a dime a dozen in the US, so I liked SNSD for being able to retain some cuteness.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ll love SNSD no matter what, but I thought that they already have a recipe for success. Why mess with something that already works so well, SME?
Yes. I feel the same. I start liking SNSD after knowing that they were different from mainstream American music. I notice (may be) that is the reason why they are so popular now in Europe. People are looking for a girl group that has no more ‘provocative’ lyric and dance.
Ahh thats just my two cents. Let’s keep supporting SNSD. 🙂
I’m French, and I regret the cute & fresh snsd too, it’s true that in Europe with tend to listen to more provocative music in general but it doesn’t apply to snsd, and when I discuss with other Euopeans sones we are all agree…. Ah we just have to wait & hope the other songs of the album will be more snsd style 🙂
Agreed. Even Japanesse version of Gee is not as good as the original when they sang it. I believe because the song writer created in Korean languange, so it will perfect suit with the song.
I liked Japanesse and Korean song also because of their languange….
Agreed. To be honest, I am now more worried than excited about the upcoming album. There is a clear reason why I am a SONE and not Pussycat Dolls fan (oversimplification, but you know what I mean). I’m not trying to say they should stick to the ITNW/GEE-like image, no. This era has ended one year and nine months ago (RDR release). And I was perfectly fine with how their image progressed since then. Now I’m worried.
I wouldn’t worry too much about the album itself. All the other songs are not produce by Teddy Riley.
As for their image, I don’t think it’ll get anymore hardcore than this. I mean, I can’t see our girls doing a pole dance, or SM allowing that…
@LOVE:
Who knows? I’m afraid SM will do “everything” in order to break the American market.
They already going this far. I’m sure they don’t wanna lose it.
Music is no longer an art. It’s a business afterall. Popularity (money) does matter.
@Microbot:
We’ll just have to keep faith in our girls. Be as hopeful as we can. This is the price we have to pay for falling in love with them. We care and worry, a lot…sometime it’s scary. But that’s what it means to have a heart.
Let’s hope for the best.
Well, it is different from their usual style, but, yeah, I like it 😀 !
Looking forward to seeing the final product on the 19th of October ;).
Cheers !
the concept has lots of potential. I donno why SME puts so much thought into teaser photos and yet MV remains so boring. and what happened to Aristocrat lady concept? SME, Give our girls what they deserve
the concept is great… and i don’t want to comment like that *looks up at the previous comments* until the actual mv comes out… but honestly
i have to say their english pronunciation
gives me goosebumps…
I don’t like the English version so far…haha it sounds wierd and awkward.
SNSD will do just fine promoting here in the US…hope they will follow thru with their plans!
omg the countdown really cant w8 2 so many surprises that was coming out ^_^
This MV Teaser does not look like Girls’ Generation… Damm why is there a need to make the ladies more american? They already succeed with korean style.
Either the higher up feels that in order to be successful in america they must become like them, or it’s america who should be more open for others to get in without changing, or all these teasers are false advertisement and the real thing will be better? Or rather, different from this. For better or worse.
One of them has gotta be at fault…
Basically, what I’m trying to say is, because a lot of american are close-minded, (at least to others) they force everyone else to become like them if they want to be successful. Which if you think about it, it kinda sucks. lol
Then again, this MV isn’t made exclusively for american, I don’t think. Since this isn’t their debut to the US. If anything, blame Teddy Riley, he’s the producer. The MV director and stylist is just trying to match the look of the video with the song. (Not that I’m saying it’s a bad or good song) Still too early to judge. Or maybe the director and stylist is to blame as well, whichever the case.
We got about a day or so to go until the full MV release, for now, well, I guess we wait.
Let the controversy continue…
i cant take off my eyes..that’s awesome..i cant wait…
I know is too soon to judge, but I’m not having good feelings about the final release: they are trying too hard to look like American singers and THIS IS NOT good for the fan base who have supported them in the early days; and for these girls is not the natural way to perform, they seem forced despite their acting skills. SNSD, with this new concept of making music, lyrics and MVs will gain fame in western cultures, but I don’t care about this at all! I only want to see the genuine girls I fell in love with at the beginning, two years ago. Hopefully I’ll be wrong and the new release will be a success. Praying for it…
I’m agree with you. This is not natural for them. I miss the genuine SNSD.
“Genie” or “RDR” have a sexy concept too, but I could still say that it’s SNSD.
For their acting skills, I think it’s better for SM to explore it for making a MV storyline.
Sorry I keep criticizing. I just wanna tell that I’m doing it because I’m so worried.
I love the girls so much. This is just a way to show that I’m really care.
Wait for this
hmm… has snsd turned gangsta? 🙂
it seems like the sone’s here are 50/50 about it all. But I know that as soon as it comes out, that 50/50 will become 100/0!
For all you sone’s who miss (or prefer) the cute / innocent / playful / bubbly snsd music and MV’s (the early snsd), even though it seems like their MV’s have taken on a new concept and image, you can still see all their playfulness and cuteness in all their variety show appearances. That’s the best thing about snsd! With all their activities they can tailor to your every preference!
It’s true that a good song and MV is one with a story-line and meaning. And I’m sure we will find all that out very soon.
Anyway… whatever road snsd takes i know that us sone’s will continue to love and support them! Bring on October 19! And dinner. Bring on dinner. Its nearly 9:30pm. mum what’s going on?
HaHa excelent xD
you have a great point of view !
“You can still see all their playfulness and cuteness in all their variety show appearances.”
Yeah, you are right! That’s my only way to escape from this commotion.
No matter how worrying this upcoming concept, songs, album, or MV is, I’m still happy when I watch their shows, old and recent ones.
I’ve just watched Running Man with SNSD, and all I could say is: If SNSD would lost their image in the songs/performances, hope it doesn’t happen with their variety performances.
That’s our last way to see the side of SNSD that makes most of us fall in love with them at the first place.
i don’t know why~ but it really, really, really.. REALLY feels different.
oh well~ looking forward on the 19th of October. 🙂
I ♥ SNSD! 😀
So far this is much better than I expected…
It’s such a great time to be a SONE!
it’s just doesn’t sound and feel k-popish…SNSD has been westernised!!!!
It was to be expected since the day they announce the producer name…i pray this is just a short phase. But the man who has westernize them apparently tweet that there is more to come. I don’t know what the heck he’s talking about, hopefully not more of him and our girls.
Don’t understnd y snsd has to change in order to break into US market..where’s d originality?they look like PCD wanna be..there’s a big different between RDR sexines and this one..very different!
Agreed. The song sounds really western + their style kind of reminds me of Suju for some reason. It’s definitely a different side to Soshi. The Engrish version..doesn’t sound as good as the Korean one.. I think it has something to do with their pronounciation. :S All I can hear is mostly Fany in the chorus. I’m not sure about the “rapping”.. But I’ll still support them 🙂 Soshi fighting!
We will always support them. But what I don’t support is anyone destroying them. Inception style, a simple idea can make or break. I hope SM and SNSD will always remember who they are and where they came from. Again as I mention above, don’t work with this producer, he has too much bad rep…
And bad influence…
OMG!!! 😀
COUNTDOWN! COUNTDOWN. I’m getting excited, I both like it. But I prefer korean (even though I can’t really understand some words) haha 😉
OH YEAH! BRING THE BOYS OUT! NOOOOOWWWW! haha 😀
I donno y ppl hate this song so much? I mean r u guys jealous abt them speaking in eng n gets more successful? Y hate the song so much?:O I personally think it is nice.. Especially when they get the chance here to b sexy not in innocent way but in terms of being bad girl.. I mean tts their main purpose right stepping in Americans world? Abt the mv, I agree though.. They have no storyline.. But wat makes me sad is like u guys are like not supporting their comeback:O
People not liking the song is their opinion, they don’t need jealousy for that. They are fans, not a competitor of them. They love and critique, that’s what fans do. If they’re anti they wouldn’t be hanging in this place. They’re not trolls either cause they actually have something of value to say. You seem to be jumping into conclusion, people not agreeing with their concept or liking their song does not mean people won’t be supporting their comeback. Why wouldn’t they? I’m sure 99 percent of people visiting and posting here already pre-order the album. Whether they like or hate this song.
No one here is dissing SNSD, so everyone here is a sone. With that said, please don’t separate us and push us aside just cause we have a different view on this. We get that they’re trying to be sexy, but sexy for the most part is only for rookie. They’re already pro, a league of their own, angels, they don’t need to stoop down to anyone. (if they are) especially to western eyes, if westerner don’t accept them, it’s their lost.
I think you’re misunderstanding what some of us are saying. I love SNSD and what they’ve done so far, and I really want them to succeed in the US. That said, my worry is that the image SME and their producer decided to go with for this debut isn’t up to par. I honestly hope I’m proven wrong! In no way am I trying to hate on SNSD or not support them; I’m merely expressing some concern.
For u guys who feels ‘different’ wat are u trying to say? It’s like u expect the girls to stay on their main concept n can’t take any risk. Come on.. They are not rookie anymore.. Even some of the newer grp are making Koch more sexier or overloading sexiness before them.. Y can’t they? I really lookin forward to this song n make me feel something new.. Their English is no so bad either? Wat u mean also? I think it’s much more better then other Korean groups.. Mostly it’s tiffany’s voice:o? U mean she cnt speak fluent eng? U gotto be kinding me!! Btw just my point of view.. I feel like this is an anti site-.-
Not liking a SNSD song, MV or concept doesn’t make anyone an anti. We still love SNSD, just all the rest that is bothering us (or me at least) a lot.
And what exactly is their “main concept”? Because they already took the sexy route with Genie and RDR. It just wasn’t so overly sexy like this one. And I think this is why it worked before, keeping it classy and stylish is much better.
Anyway, the song bothers me much more than the concept. It’s not only very western but crappy too (imo). I’ll still support them, of course, but I sure hope this phase doesn’t last long.
but its only a song~~ one sog~~ anyway do support them ‘soe’
Their concept is said by SM to be lady-like. Yet, I’m not seeing much of that here. Just sexy girls dancing around. lol
At least in Gee we know they’re portray to be more than just dolls, they have a spirit of their own. In ‘Oh’ they were cheerleader, in RDR they were girls with vengeance, in Hoot they were spies.
What’s this one? Ladies? Hmm…kinda hard to see that right now. Yes they’ve grown up, but in my eyes they were always ladies to begin with. What we got here so far is just them dancing in random clothing…it seems.
“For u guys who feels ‘different’ wat are u trying to say? It’s like u expect the girls to stay on their main concept n can’t take any risk. Come on.. ”
Following trend can be the recipe toward success, but standing out is the recipe towards perfection, legendary status and greater success. Which one would you pick?
“They are not rookie anymore.. ”
That’s exactly why most people here feel let down. They’re being clone into rookie…
Before it was hard to name another group like SNSD, but now it’s easier for people to, as some here already called out, PCD.
“Even some of the newer grp are making Koch more sexier or overloading sexiness before them.. Y can’t they?”
We’re back to square one. Copying others isn’t always a recipe toward success. Why do you think newer kpop group are having a tough time? They look generic like the rest and don’t stand out as much. All because they appear to copy others. Which is what you are suggesting. Sexiness is not king…
SNSD beating every other sexy group in the past is proof of this.
“Their English is no so bad either? Wat u mean also? I think it’s much more better then other Korean groups.. ”
People are saying their english is awkward, not terrible. There’s a difference.
“Following trend can be the recipe toward success, but standing out is the recipe towards perfection, legendary status and greater success”
Damn … I totally agree with you!
All of the great performers, artists, and legends I know not trying to copying others
or try to compensate their style so much to match with any particular maket.
They have their own characteristics, the league of their own.
They try to be distinctive. That’s why people curious about them, turn forward them, and eventually be their fans and love them so much.
They are trend-makers, not market-followers.
I think it should applies to SNSD too.
It’s okay if they are trying to break I-don’t-know-why-people-worship-it-so-much American market.
But they shouldn’t lost their own self too.
I’m agree with you, SM and SNSD should never forget who they are and where they come from.
It’s impossible for them to be as American as possible, since afterall, they are a K-pop group.
I know that it micght be too early to judge, but from what I’ve seen on the teaser
their song and style look no more than Gwen Stefani or Pussycat Dolls, it’s soo similar.
I just hope that the real treasure are still hidden beneath the album.
The songs that will still give us the feeling that it’s SNSD, not others.
After all, the key to real and lasting success is TRY YOUR BEST, BUT STILL BE YOURSELF!

@Microbot:
“the key to real and lasting success is TRY YOUR BEST, BUT STILL BE YOURSELF!”
Yep, as I once said here, I rather SNSD succeed or fail for being themselves, not someone else. Always go with diginity. That’s the girls we all come to love.
If they succeed by being someone else than they’ll be cheating, because they wear a mask. It wont be the real them. By doing this all that they’ve fought for would be meaningless.
i like the new looks *drools* i wont comment on the song until the mv is out but i hope they dont change from the girls we all know and love T^T
Of course nt.. It’s only their concept for a song.. It won’t change the girls inside it Tt we always love:))
Fierce.
Hmm…I personally think they are trying to break through their “Girly Girl” Image….However, I dont think it’s working..I Like Them dancing sexy, and girly. I think their chant in the teaser is So different…Maybe TOO different. Opinions?
Breaking through their “girly girl” image by being more girly? lol The more the sexy the more the girly,one would think, no?
In my opinion, to make it in America, you have to be the girl who every guy wants, and be the girl who every girl wants to be LIKE. I don’t think the cute and innocent approach would work in this situation, and that’s where Teddy Riley went right in the production. At least not all of them are wearing booty shorts and pouting their lips, so this transformation in their style doesn’t bother me.
At first, I hated the English version, especially when in the first teaser, I heard silence after “I wanna dance right now.” It just sounded so awkward. Now that I hear a better flow and continuity, I find myself rapping the verses myself 😛 It’s kind of weird because I hate it when Kpop songs include English, but for some reason, I’m starting to like the English version MORE than the Korean version now, which is a good thing! I’m almost positive that there’s not going to be a story line, but if I expect less, then maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised 🙂 Just can’t wait until the 19th. Fighting!
“In my opinion, to make it in America, you have to be the girl who every guy wants, and be the girl who every girl wants to be LIKE.”
So every guy in America want overly sexy girls? And every girl wants to be dirty like them?
No wonder this country has such a bad reputation to outsiders…
In my opinion America should really change that limited perspective. Look at all the k-pop fans in america, why do they like k-pop? Because it’s an escape from what they already have. Why can’t the higher up follow the same mindset? Give us what we haven’t see, not what we’ve seen and have already.
That’s the good thing about Australia. If snsd showed up wearing potato sacks and garbage bags they would still be the girls every guy wants! 🙂
I understand what you are saying though. One of the reasons I converted to kpop was because I was getting tired of, and not enjoying, current western music.
But I think we should all just wait and see what happens. Know what we are judging before we judge it.
I’m not judging snsd here, it’s too early, as I’ve mention before. Plus I can never judge them anyway, I love them to death. However, I do like to take people opinion and play with it. lol as I did so above. 😀
100% agreed. All legend in music are usually different with the others. They have something special, and do not follow the industry, but they create!.
But trying to be rational and looking back to the history of group singer, maybe or maybe not, in the future, some of members will be find their true path depend on their ability (acting, dancing), and SoShi will be a small group of singer (Sica, Fany & Maknae ; Taeyon & Sunny), like The Corrs etc. Or usually if they brave enough, will trying to make a solo and SoShi will be the end.
But I’m willing to follow each of them, because I want to know where it’s end.
I don’t get how the teasers show the girls as being overly sexy or dirty at all 😐 All I’m saying is that guys and girls alike would respond well if the members were confident and gave off a “Yeah, you want me or Yeah, you wanna be like me” kinda vibe.
I’m a Kpop fan in America, and I do not like Kpop because it’s an “escape.” I just like it because most of the artists can sing and are good-looking, no different from American artists. This is going off on a tangent, but I’m really glad SNSD changed its style because I really don’t think the cute and innocent aspects would work. That’s pretty much all I’m trying to say.
HEEEYYYYY!! 🙂 You shouldn’t play with your fellow sone’s opinion 🙂 haha
That is fair. It’s your opinion, and I respect that. I guess not liking mainstream american music is where I’m coming from. That’s where the whole “escape” thing come from. Yes, I’m in America, so I know what goes on here. I have my reasons of course for not liking certain artist and songs here, but that’s not the point. My point is I find quality in the girls music, and kpop in general that I don’t want to see them drop to american mainstream artist. Basically what I’m saying is american music sucks, and everyone else should not become them. lol
Again, my opinion, I’m not trying to make it a ‘fact’ or insult anyone in anyway. Just sharing my thoughts.
As long as we can at least understand each other in that aspect, it’s all good.
@wigwiggle:
I’m sorry, I can’t help it. lol But hey, as long as I’m not attacking anyone personally, I’m ok right? 🙂
I meant no disrespect.
I don’t know how many times I’ve played these teasers.
I’m not even thinking. I just play it over and over and over and over and over……..
Totally zoned out by the visual awesomeness.
They could be dictating the frickin’ US constitution and I’d still be playing it over and over and over and over…
Hello. I kind of like it. It’s different from what we’re used to. i guess it’s a change, trying something new. They can always have storylines, and they are getting older, they can’t have that ‘cute’ image forever. It may take some getting used to, but it’s Soshi, whatever they try come out awesome. 🙂
as we wait for their song to be released today,
lets have some fun watching a Taeyeon FMV!
*dies*…
I didn’t check this post for a day and look at all the negativity. I can’t even believe this, not going to respond to every single one. I personally don’t see this concept as “overly sexualized”, come on have you seen sexualized!? This doesn’t come close to American pop or even Rania. As for this song sounding too “Americanized”, well let’s check their last three sexy concepts, Hoot (written by foreign composers), RDR (written by foreign ‘American’ composers), Genie (written by foreign composers). I can argue they’re all very “Westernized” or “Americanized” songs, all of which were successful. So Is Teddy Riley just too evil for your liking, can’t give him a chance because he did what to offend you so badly?
I don’t even know. People said the same things about RDR, Hoot, Genie, Mr.Taxi… they just kept doubting the girls (can’t pull it off, too sexy, too Americanized, nothing different), I’ve heard all the excuses. What’s new? At some point you have to realize Kpop (and pop music in general) isn’t the most original thing in the world, far from it. So instead of trying to create something so far outside the desirable range and risk losing your existing fanbase not to mention failing to attract new fans in the US market, why not stick to mainstream appeal and just kill it? Isn’t that what Soshi has always done? Massive mainstream appeal that they simply do better than everyone else? What’s wrong with simple, tried-and-true catchy beats?
I’m not fooling myself, SNSD’s music has continued to evolve, but none of the evolutions were so groundbreaking that we could put them in a brand new genre, and neither will this one. Perhaps we have unrealistically high expectations? Be real now, this is pop music, it’s not some super advanced form of art that you must strive for the abstract. I’m not asking anyone to give their approval of The Boys right away, after all I’m even going to admit that I don’t like the teaser that much because I personally don’t like chanting elements in songs, but I’m going to reserve judgement until I hear the full song and trust that the girls will make the best of it. To write this song off based on a teaser and because Teddy Riley wrote it, is just total irrationality. As for the concept, I like it a lot actually, they’re showing that they can combine classy with fierceness, it’s going to be a powerful choreography and performance. What better way to show the world that you can do mainstream pop like no other by coming in here and say “I can play your games and play it better than you”?
Have faith guys, and support the girls with all your heart, they’re gonna need it.
I have been quite the skeptic myself these past days, and yes, I don’t like Teddy Riley, I have my reasons, however, not once did I say I won’t give this song a chance. Teasers aren’t enough for me to judge.
With that said, 5 albums on the way to my house here. lol
Sorry if you see any of my post pointing to negativity. Paranoia, fear and worry tend to get in the way. But that’s only because I care. I might as well try speaking for everyone. We care. We love them. That’s why we’re scared…but we’re still supporting them. It’s not doubt that we have for them, we do not question their abilities, it’s their position and work environment that we’re mostly afraid of. We want them to do good and be successful all the time. But while doing so, we’re also worried things may get out of hand, especially with outside influence. For better or worse, we’re all just happy for them, but also frighten…
Hope and support is all we can do right? I will always wish them the best of luck, no matter what. In a few more hours or so their true return will begin. Until then, love will be here for them.
Am I the only one reminded of Beyoncé’s Run The World here?
Waiting…..
