Day6 has made a comeback for the first time since ending their 2017 Every Day6 project. That was one of the largest Kpop projects of the year and from it, we as fans received two full length albums and several music videos to tie us down for the month. To be honest, we were a little spoiled so in January of this year, I was almost starving for more Day6. It’s nice that they put out that project, but it’s also nice they got a break.
“Shoot Me” is the first release of, what I’m assuming is, a two part album released as separate mini albums, similar to what SHINee is doing with their latest releases. I don’t watch teaser videos and I’ve already explained my reasoning there. So, I am going into this with a fresh perspective. I have no idea what to expect but I heard a while back that Day6 would be releasing a different style of rock music.

That was a different kind of video. It was far different from almost anything I’ve seen recently. The premise of the video was a guy and his girlfriend are sitting in a restaurant when all of a sudden she pulls out her finger gun and shoots the boyfriend a bunch of times. The women in the restaurant pull out their finger guns as well and all open fire on this man.
At this point in the video, I’m thinking to myself that this man must have done something really terrible to deserve this. But in the very last moments, he pulls out his finger gun and shoots back at the women. However, his gun doesn’t contain bullets but rather confetti and paint, I think. He smiles at the very end.
The video cut between shots of the couple in the restaurant and Day6 performing as many of Day6 videos are edited. What I found extremely interesting was the fact that they had finger guns. Not actual guns, but the damage to this man was real. He felt every one of those bullets fired at him. It’s a strong message to be honest.

Moving on to the song, it’s pretty obvious what this song is actually about. The overarching message is that words may seem harmless like the finger guns pointed at the man, but in the end, even those words have effect and can do damage. But the man says he’ll take as many bullets fired at him.
As for the vibe of the song, it had a mix of sounds which was really unique. It ventured from Caribbean style to Garage Rock to Anthem Rock and there were some more in there that I can’t get a grasp on. Either way, it was definitely different from what Day6 has done in the past. Will this be a permanent change? We will have to wait and see. I personally think it would be cool for them to explore different Rock genres with each new album. It could make for a neat project.
This has been my review for “Shoot Me” by Day6. Let me know any thoughts you might have. I personally loved the song but I would like to know what you thought of it and why you have those opinions. Thank you so much for showing your support for me. I appreciate it very much. Thanks again and I’ll see you in the next one.
