As they let loose, their goal was to confront their fears head-on and push beyond their limits, embodying a fearless spirit. The song conveyed a powerful message: that anyone had the potential to tap into their inner daredevil at any moment in their lives. Their new, fearless self felt like the aftermath of being electrified by thunder, which infused them with a "different DNA." They were thoroughly enjoying their bold phase and wanted to share the same thunderous stimuli with others.
